The Darkness Of Depression...Is There A Lighter Side....YES!!!

I have some very awesome friends who have been walking with me, as I have been walking through depression. Every time I see one of these awesome people, they always check in with me, and my response is, Im ok...which is true, Ive never been 100%, and this bothers me that i can never give good news. Well I have a friend who has also been walking through this with me and every time he sees me asks, 'so,How are you today?', because he knows this is an everyday battle. I want to tell you that since Sunday, I have experienced some new things and feelings that I have not been through in years..and they are good! I have been set free from a burden, and have gone through some healing and then today, I have been going and going and cant stop...I didnt even take a nap!! Which is a huge Milestone!!. I have energy and motivation and i dont know where its coming from but im grateful...I think about the things that I still am dealing with and I cant even worry, if that makes since, Im just living life and it is an awesome feeling, Ive never been so free!! God is answering my prayers and becoming very real to me! I wanted to share this with all of you and thank all of those who walk beside me and pray for me, through everything...yall are awesome!! If you know someone walking through depression...never leave their side...because their is a Lighter side, and I can see it from here!! Thank you God!!


The song that keeps going through my head is Chris Tomlin's....I know I am loved by the King, and it makes my heart want to Sing!!! The Song is Titled- (How Can I Keep from Singing Your Praise)

Those who sow in tears will reap with songs of joy. Psalm 126:5.....also Psalm 66:1 Shout with joy to God, all the earth! Also read.. the whole chapter of Psalm 20.

Daddy...why?

Daddy, why is the sand brown
"To match your baby brother's skin"
Daddy, why are roses red?
"To match your momma's lips"
Daddy, why are the clouds white?
"To match grandpa's hair"
Daddy, why is the ocean blue?
"To match the color of your eyes"
Daddy, What is God's favorite color?
Baby, His favorite color is the...
Rainbow!!

Tell Me Love

Tell Me Love, Tell Me What You Are Feeling;
For I am Here to Grant you Perfect Healing,
For You Will See,
I Want You to be Free!!

Is this...

Alone, Unsure, Sad, Scared Insecure, Unwanted, Forgotten,
Beautiful, Valued, Treasured, Protected, Safe, Loved, Forgiven!!

Should There be Justice for Bandit?!

I'm here to voice my comments about Bandit...For those of you who don't live here in AZ, Bandit is a K9 officer who was left in is handler's car for 12 hours and died. There is now a huge debate around the state asking if this officer should be held responsible for Bandit's death. Ive been reading people's comments and opinions and some are just unbelievable. Some want him tried for murder, some say there is a Technology device that will beep if you leave a child or animal in the vehicle. I cant believe people that are suffering from this disorder of forgetfulness. We do not need technology to help us, maybe we just need to be slapped around a bit, what is our world coming to...where we are so preoccupied with so many other things that we forget vital members of our family? We should put ourselves in these poor children's shoes or pet's paws, imagine if you were out with a loved one, and they left you in a car and you did not have the capability to get out. Imagine as a child or an animal being with someone you trust and that person never came back. How can a child be forgotten and as far as Bandit goes Mrs. Lovejoy says "We all considered Bandit apart of our family". Here is a question i have for her, would she or Officer Lovejoy leave a member of their family in the car for 12 hours, i just cant fathom forgetting about a family member for this long, or at all for that matter. What is really sad is that there is not this much of an outrage when a child is forgotten or injured. I do not think this Officer should be tried for Murder, but he should have something done or taken from him. I admire and respect Sheriff Joe for conducting this investigation.

Is there Dew in the Desert?!

Thes are pictures of Gods creation covered in dew. What is different about the flower is, it too is covered with dew...but this flower is a wild rose that grows in the desert...
This morning I went outside enjoying the cool weather, sipping my coffee and swingin on the porch swing when i started studding our grass. The grass is ready for a cut...but the length made my observations "more better"...(as my nephew would say). the grass was covered with droplets of water and i begin to wonder..does this dry barren land produce dew or is this water left over from the rain. With more studding i found that the desert is not immune from this great resource.
Before I moved to California all I saw around me is dry dusty air and ground and I felt that way in my soul as well. As I look back on my California Adventure...The climate may have changed, but my soul did not until i moved back to the desert...interesting huh...I was intrigued this morning when i came across water in our dry land that wasn't coming down from the sky...God will always keep our dryness quenched.

The following is from Wikipedia.org

Dew is water in the form of droplets that appears on thin, exposed objects in the morning or evening. As the exposed surface cools by radiating its heat, atmospheric moisture condenses at a rate greater than that of which it can evaporate, resulting in the formation of water droplets.

When temperatures are low enough, dew takes the form of ice; this form is called frost.

Because dew is related to the temperature of surfaces, in late summer it is formed most easily on surfaces which are not warmed by conducted heat from deep ground, such as: grass, leaves, railings, car roofs, and bridges.

Culturally dew is often associated with purity and freshness. This is evidenced by the names of certain popular beverages such as Mountain Dew

Due to its dependence on radiation balance, dew amounts can reach a theoretical maximum of about 0.8 mm per night, measured values, however, rarely exceeding 0.5 mm. In most climates of the world, the annual average is too small to compete with rain. In regions with considerable dry seasons, adapted plants like lichen or pine seedlings, benefit from dew. Large-scale, natural irrigation without rainfall, such as in the Atacama Desert and Namib desert, however, is mostly attributed to fog water.
