Did you wake up today?

Did you wake up today? This is something to celebrate! 

As someone whose personality is to want to help, I believe that there is enough love in me to pour out to those who are hurting through this blog.
Proverbs 18:14 says:
The human spirit can endure a sick body, but who can bear it if the spirit is crushed? 

Some of you who suffer from depression and anxiety, feeling lost and afraid,wanting to be part of something using social media to find connections, looking for someone to listen, you are not alone, not going out of your mind. Confusion is common, and the inexplicable black cloud can be lifted. Social media can give us a sense of community and yet leave us feeling alone and rejected.

A sad truth is that many Christians also suffer from depression and either do not know it (they are miserable but do not know why) or cannot admit it because they think that would be admitting a spiritual problem. So, they suffer in silence hoping and praying for deliverance; but the consequences of doing nothing often result in further complications. 
Then there are those of you who do give a voice to your struggles only to be let down by friends and family, being told to get over it or it's not as bad as you think. 
I want to encourage you to find someone to talk to, not someone to fix you (only God can do that) just someone to be a shoulder, to help carry your burden even if they can't completely understand what you're feeling. 

The more I use social media, the more I see the hurt people are experiencing. The more I see the struggle to be heard and cared for. Too many people crying out in the darkness for someone to turn on a light of love, and friendship. Social media can give us a false sense of this, however, there can be true connection if we truly want to find it. Let's connect in a real way. Let's be kind to each other. Let's lift each other up. Let's look for ways to help those who are hurting. We can win the war against depression, anxiety and sadness together.

Until next time...Never give up!
