If this helps just one person it will be worth it. I've been depressed my entire life. I remember being 6 years old and wishing I could just be gone. I grew up in a physically, emotionally, and verbally abusive household and until now, it has stunted me greatly. Professionally I have always excelled with ease, but I had low...

I finally sang with my husband in the car and now we're both crying

825 views | Posted by A friend on November 18, 2019

I love singing, I always have, but I was teased for being a woman with a really deep voice. I wasn't allowed in choir as a kid and never sang with anyone near by. I sing in the car if I'm alone and when I'm home alone, my husband knows this, but I've never felt comfortable before. He's always wanted to hear me...

The Peaceful God

Some time ago I slept peacefully, until I had a dream of darkness telling me that I will never ever succeed in life, but the powerful voice of God came out through me responding.. "whatever words you saying is because you are of darkness and there's no christ within you". The darkness just got lost and I had to woke up and came...

Be Kind Anyway

For many years I was treated in a very unkind way. I was not only talked about behind my back but I was spoken to in an unkind manner to my face. I'm sure a lot of people can relate to this. There came a time when I had the opportunity to help this person out. For some reason, much to my surprise, I chose to be kind and help....

I love when my cat meows

637 views | Posted by A friend on November 21, 2019

He meows a lot to communicate with me. He'd randomly walk into my room, greet me, then lay down right next to my desk and sleep. Now he slept there the past few hours and I got the urge to pet him... when I did he let out a cute soft meow, he didn't even bother opening his eyes. This small little thing made me feel so much better. It...

My 2 daughters had a swimming gala and finished school early that day. So I went to get them a treat on the way home.

When Christmas rolls around each year not everyone is happy. It can be a time of high anxiety, sadness, and depression. I know because this is what this season of the year was like for me for many years. It would be easy to allow myself to slip back into that state of mind. However, over the years I've chosen to ask the Lord...

My Aunt Kay passed away this week after a long illness. I'd known her since I was eight. She was my step dad's sister, his last living sibling. She used to take me to church with her and have me spend the night at her house often when I was between ages 12 to14. She was a great cook, baker, funny, vivacious, and spiritual woman with...

Bad Weather

It was late November. The trees that had been covered with lovely leaves just a few weeks earlier were now stark, skinny sticks trying to ride out the Winter to come. The sun had become scarce as the dark nights lengthened, but today it was totally gone. Gray, gloomy clouds covered the sky, a cold wind blew, and a chilly rain was falling...

Over the years my Mom talked about how this man would come out on Christmas and bring candy to her and her brothers and sisters. Mom never forgot his kindness. I believe...
