It Feels Better Off My Chest

Today has been a step forward within me. I’m a big believer that confession is the beginning of healing. Yes, my body still aches. Yes my pain is still blinding and unpredictable. But, personally recognizing the demon of depression has lifted some heaviness off of my chest and shoulders.

It may not fix everything, but honesty paves the way for realness. Realness with yourself and others. It positions you for hopeful encouragement and accountability for dealing with your present reality. I took a long walk earlier. I have given God my every heartache and thanked Him for continuing to carry me on His shoulders.

I must say that I’m not really worried about the future. I’ve just been fighting for control in the present. So, I had to once again surrender control to the only One who is in control. Because when the fight is too big for you it must be given to our Great Big God. There is always a peace that comes with putting things totally in God’s hands and trusting in His greater plan!

(Exodus 14:14) “The LORD will fight for you; you need only to be still.”
