Life, The Universe, Everything...

Whassup, bro's!

This posting comes at a time when I'm not really sure what to tackle next, so in the end this'll be more of a reflective post as I look realistically at what's gone on lately with a view to laying down some concrete ideas going forward...


As you know now, I've been battling with depression for some time now, only I have to say that at this point I'm thankfully on the right side of everything and can see that the light at the end of the tunnel is not another train coming waiting to run me over!

I'm sorry, I should not even joke about things like that! :(

I've been there myself where I truly have believed there's no point to carrying on with "this pointless thing called life" as I once said when it was at its worst. It's at this point that I learned to take things one day at a time and developing this strategy helped me to see that no situation is permanent, no matter how bleak it looks at the time, it's all only temporary.

My postings on "Where Praise Is..." kept running through my mind and I firmly believe that it is this that God used to help me see that there is always, always a point to going on in life, again, no matter how bad things appear at the time.

I've been out of work for six months now and am due to finish the Work Training Programme thought up by the Tories, in a matter of two or three weeks so will be faced with either daily signings at the jobcentre, or alternatively will no doubt be pushed into volunteering for my benefits.

In the grand scheme of things, and this is what I lost sight of, it's only a temporal aspect of my life and even that will run its course eventually. Like Creflo Dollar said at the end of one of his messages on a recent broadcast: -

"I've got some good news; what you're going through... has an expiration date!"

So it is with great happiness and a lifting heart that I can safely say that I am definitely on the road to recovery, so now have to fully admit the severity of what I went through certainly drove me to distraction enough that I thought I would not achieve all that God is calling me to.

Here I am.

I'm still here.

Take heart, folks, that no matter what you're going through there's always someone you can share that journey with so please do not share it alone.

Again, reach out, just one more time, to a loved one or a friend and let them know what you're going through... PLEASE!!! :) :) :)

I know I've not exactly laid out those "goals" I talked of going forward, but this is a start because it better helps me to see exactly what I've been going through so I know what to avoid in the future.

Alright, that's enough for now, I hope I'm providing succour for some of your wounds today because believe you me, I'm feeling them too!

Peace off!
