Depression. That feeling of despondency and dejection as the dictionary puts it. To have little hope and utter despair changed everything. Not being sure of why I was alive. I felt the world would be a better place without me. Self doubt was ever present. I was embarrassed of my depression opening up to only a few people close to me. I was confused about many things, but I did know the truth about some things. I knew God loved me and others, I knew he had a purpose and plan for peoples lives, but I wasn't sure about the reality of mine. I didn't know exactly why I felt such despair and lack of purpose in life. I didn't know what to do or how things we're going to pan out, But ... I did know this... that I did not want to give up. The only thing I knew was to just take "one more step" towards what I DID know. To keep talking to and pouring my heart out to God. He always gave me strength for at least that very next step. As I would teach and share, I found I encouraged MYSELF in the Lord. I would find the strength from Him where I was weak as I took one step at a time. -Optimisfits . (Excerpt from my book #Optimisfits, to order, click link in profile. 100% of the profit doesn’t go to me, but goes right back into Hope Generation, to spread HOPE further and faster.) 💪🏻 “A joyful heart makes a face cheerful” - Proverbs 15:13. Thankful for friends whose countenance reflects the God whose face shines upon us. Keep surrounding yourself with the people whose strength is found in the joy of the Lord.
Speaking Sunday at Applegate reminded me of Eden. Such a beautiful church. The people feel like home. It’s like the trees are clapping their hands, the flowers felt like Jesus could be walking amongst them and telling us not to worry. God’s beauty is all around you, through the love in other people, His creation, doing what you were made to do, following what He put in your heart....SO much beauty. We just need eyes to see it. 📸 @cambriajoy I love my Dad. Were it not for him, I don’t know where I would be. So thankful to have him cheering me on. What an example. Let’s be like my Dad and leave the legacy of a life lived that truly matters. Can’t wait for all the years to come, as we continue to work side by side. This man is a legend❤️ The Bible says God calls the stars by name (“Epsilon” and “Alpha Cantuari” and “Anteres” and “G2 Dwarf” and “S2” and “the star of Benjamin” - which some friends bought for me and named in my honor. ⭐️ According to the Old Testament, God calls forth the stars by name. And yet Jesus says He calls His sheep by name! He’s not to busy with the “stars” to know our names! He really loves you. Jesus specifically said God SO LOVES the world. Our world. Earth. Even though there are tons of worlds like ours, He’s got a particularly passion for our planet. Latest estimates, extrapolating from the current catalogs, suggest as many as forty billion Earth-like planets in the Milky Way alone! And yet God renders a special care to our planet. You can see it in the way He built it. The sun is constantly spewing radiation that’s very bad for us, but our atmosphere blocks it! That’s the loving hand of God. If you ever become a space cadet, and NASA or Elon Musk sends you off-world, you can only go to space so many times as an astronaut. The amount of time you spend outside earth’s atmosphere is measured, because your risk of cancer starts to sky rocket due to genetic damage from cosmic rays. God loves our planet so much He protects it. If earth were slightly closer to the sun we’d all cook and if it were slightly farther away we’d all freeze. What a loving Creator! He cares about us a ton. He’s so so sooooo good. 📷 by @brightong
