Praise Be to God

I'm feeling good! Thank God and Praise Him!

There are some feelings that I don't want to voice because that gives power to them, but I haven't been doing well (obvious to those who read this).

Today I have an appointment with my psychologist. I think I am going to start spacing them out. I am too much in my own head. It is good to have a sounding board, but more important to be active and involved with others. One is a lonely number.

Being here by myself working on the house, etc gives me too much time alone. A friend invited me to come over for dinner tonight. I think I will.

Most of my physical symptoms are gone from my other illness, and the pain of depression is gone for the moment.

I started reading the book, Positive Thinking for a Time Like This by the author of The Power of Positive Thinking Norman Vincent Peale. Talking about fear and giving yourself over to God. Great book! I've been a worrier but am working on it. Pastor Peale said, "I found that a basic factor in living without fear is to hold and practice the simple belief that God will take care of you."

I know that God lives and is aware of my needs. Last night I imagined Him walking past me as I knelt and I tried to grasp His ankle for Him to slow down and stay with me for a while. I plead for the green pastures and still water and for Him to restore my soul. I slept well last night. It is true.
