A new approach. I hope you like it.
Sometimes, new is good. I hope you’ll overlook the fact that I am reposting. I wanted to see what this looked like. Maybe I’ll post something like this every end-of-month, so in case you didn’t read a post, they are all in one place.
So, what do you think?
Besides, trying something new is good, right? And considering it’s the end of the month, it works out well.
Plus, I like being able to see my posts this way as well. It’s been two months of reflection and sorting things out. Mental health, identifying the truly important, and relationships. Some pretty heady subjects. But what else is there to do in these two dark, cold months?
Now, I contend with this Afib diagnosis. I’m having a hard time adjusting to the medications. But I try to see things in perspective. It’s not terminal. It’s treatable. Perspective certainly helps. Besides, I’m an overcomer in Christ.
If faith doesn’t work during times of illness, when will it?
I hope you have a great weekend and blessings to each of you.

How to manage depression at Christmas and how it’s possible.
Depression Is Multi-Faceted Depression is a life-altering, joy-sucking feeling. It makes you tired or wired. You sleep too much or not enough. You eat too much or not enough. It’s about extremes, and people manifest symptoms as unique as their personalities. (I apologize for reposting this from yesterday. I accidentally published it before it was done.) Read more

5. Fear Doesn’t Get the Final Word; Love Does
“Fear doesn’t write your ending—God’s love does.” Romans 8:38–39 — “Nothing… will be able to separate us from the love of God.” Opening Reflection: Love Shouts Fear is loud.
