But, I am FAR FROM DEPRESSED! =) As I said before, I have my sad moments. We all get weary. But the key is not giving up. Go to God. And that is what I'm learning during this time. I'm also learning how to go to God. I'm learning how to have a "for real - for real" relationship with God.
This morning, my phone rang at 7:30! I was like, who in the world is calling me, waking me out of my sweet slumber?!? It was my high school sweetheart, Ron. I quickly sent him to voicemail. LOL! He then sent me a text that said, "I'm mad you just cut the ringer off on me! LOL! U sleeping in nowadays!" Yessir! I am sleeping past 6am. Well, trying to. My body still wakes me up at 6. But anywho... I heard my room mate getting ready for work so I just woke up and rolled over and called him back. We talked for a bit. He knows what's going on. And Ron has always had a way of urking my nerves. I've known him for almost 10 years now. So, we have a deep bond- like brother and sister. Well, he was talking to me and he said some things that didn't encourage my spirit at all. And I got quiet. I just didn't want to talk to him anymore.
Ron can sense when I'm bothered. So, he does what he always does: he told me that he would call me later. When our phone conversation ended, I told God, "now I see why I need to start my day with you."
People, TV, and radio can fill your mind with all sorts of nonsense. That's why we need to develop and nurture a real relationship with God. Start your day off with Him. He will give you strength, peace, restoration, encouragement, whatever it is that you need to get through the day. And I'm seeing that I need to re-up on God throughout the day.
And get this, I turned on the TV and Creflo Dollar, Joyce Meyers, and every program after that talked about having a REAL relationship. It was God reinforcing the revelation that I had this morning.
Creflo Dollar said that we have to feed our spiritual body just like we feed our physical body. And the more I do, the more I want it.
So, get your mind right. Get your relationship with God right. It will make ALL the difference.

You are so right about starting the day with the Lover of our Souls. There are so many other people and issues and circumstances demanding our attention nowadays that we HAVE to say no to everything even before the sun comes up so the Son can truly come up (make His appearance) in our lives first. I always feel so assaulted before my feet hit the floor in the morning, so sometimes I just lie there and talk to God before the enemy can bring anything to congest my heart, mind, and spirit. Great post!
By the way, I like the changes you have made to the blog. New season, new outlook. Love it!
