Hello Everyone 👋,

Long time no see! 

I started so many posts tis and last year but I didn’t finish or post 😕;  I went to go edit a few and post them but apparently they weren’t saved. It is quite frustrating when that happens. I couldn’t post them right away because I was on my phone and though it is great to write on the app  all the editing needs to be done on a pc. Otherwise it would look like a the post was drunk. Speaking from experience. I  had posted a few from my phone before but then had to re do them. I wasn’t near a pc for quite some time. Which is odd since anyone who knows me knows I love computers and enjoy gamming and writing on them.  Sometimes life likes to get in the way of your plans and if you have not experiences this then you are truly blessed.   We had a couple of family emergencies starting in July  lasting till  now. 

 My baby sister went missing. She is indeed not a baby anymore but she is previous to me all the same. She didn’t know who she was and every time we found her she would  disappear again. Finally she was found and taken in for observation and they  diagnosed her with  Alcohol-Induced Psychosis. https://www.banyanmentalhealth.com/2019/06/03/what-is-alcohol-induced-psychosis/

She had quite challenging adventure  from July till the end of December. Alcohol  is not something people should take for granted. I know not everyone is alcoholics, but it is still a mind altering substance.   It was scary how much it changed her personality and she didn’t know who or where she was for most those moths among other things. If you drink alcohol you need to be careful this doesn’t happen to you especially if you are on other meds. I can not go deeper into the story it is not mine to tell but I needed to tell that part, not just for your sake if you drink, but also  because it was such a miracle how God took care of her. He was with her everywhere she went,  getting her the help she needed and restoring her to not her former self but better then she was before.  I am still in awe of how God  did it. 

Let this be an example for you.  Don’t wait till you are in trouble to change how you do things you should start taking care of yourself now.  If you are depressed or addicted to something you  shouldn’t be because of depression  I am praying for you….  Depression is real and not everyone can recognize the signs. You may not even recognize you are depressed.  The battles of life are real even if they don’t seem as valid to some as they do to you.   A problem is a problem an issue is an issue…. How we deal with them is up to us. 

This is good advice ….. 

 You are a fighter a warrior a survivor! Even if you can not see it. Look at all you have accomplished so far. It may not seem a lot to you but it is a lot more then you would have done if you didn’t do anything. I used to  be very hard on myself comparing myself to others asking God why them and not me?  But I am not them nor are they me. We all have unique gifts and talents even if you do not see them others do and God does. If you realize it or not you impact other peoples lives by your actions  lack of actions,  choices, and words.  You leave lasting impressions  you may never realize you do. As I say often we are windows. Constantly watched examples if we want to be or not. I am not saying this  to add more pressure to you but its the truth. Another truth is you are loved! You may not feel loved or be around people who seem to appreciate you but you are loved. You are appreciated you are special! If you see it or not it is a fact! I strongly believe that! John 10 :10 says The devil comes only to steal kill and to destroy but I ( Jesus) Comes to bring life and to bring it abundantly!  God / Jesus / The HolySpirit want you to be happy they want you you be healthy  and whole . They want you you to succeed. They want your life to be full of blessings and  well full of goodness.  There is a real enemy out there who wants to see you fail fall down and to even die……. If you believe that or  not I believe it to be true. 

Anything you do to better your life that  you can do;  do it! Be it as simple as getting out of bed, (if you can I know not everyone has that  option) calling a friend, making dinner, going to the store and buying supplies, maybe sneak five dollars into someone’s hand anything you do-  do it knowing you are taking steps to improve your life. I have seen how bad it can be for some who can not do anything physically, I have been there too.  Every day I live I am grateful to have life even when it is hard. I try to do something to better my future every day even if it is just reaching out to some one i care about and encouraging them.  Your life is your life and it is what you make of it. I know some things can not be changed or moved at the time but you can prepare for when they can be and work on bettering yourself and who you want to be. So when you can  go  where you want or be who you want to be with ect you will be ready.  When you are faced with a bad situation you have a choice how to react. tho we are human and we have emotions  but we should do our best to react best or respond then best we can. If we failed then we  fix it tot he best of our abilities. 

One thing I have learned the most these past few years is no matter how much we plan things happen that are out of our control. Yes we need to do what we can to fix or help but where we cant do things like force someone to take care of themselves,  we have to give it to God.  It is not up to us to fix everything and honestly it is impossible. I found when I stopped trying to handle everything by myself and started asking God to take over things started moving and I started changing for the better.  Just some food for thought.  Prayer works and you are loved. Jesus is your friend as much  as he is mine, he was born, lived, died and lived again for us. For you! If you do not know Jesus Christ as your friend I suggest you read  the book of John in the Bible along with  Ephesians, and 1John.  Here is a great online bible with a app you can use for free https://www.biblegateway.com/
