Processing Through Journaling
I just thought I’d share my journal from today. It was a little scattered but also pretty helpful. I’m learning more and more about myself. I realized yesterday that I have been battling the weight/body image/nutrition/exercise battle for a long time, and I have never sought God’s wisdom on it. WHY am I so obsessed with…

Still Considering Autism…
I had an appointment with my psychiatric nurse practitioner today, and as much as I keep saying I DON’T have autism, we are both still thinking it’s possible. What’s hard is, as an almost 43 year old woman, I have learned to mask SO well, and I don’t even know what that looks like. I…

New (Possible) Information About My Brain
These past few weeks have honestly been pretty stinking crazy. I feel like I can never keep up with the crazy… Last week, I asked my therapist if she thinks I have bipolar 2 (she was trying the medication to see if it would help, but that didn’t mean she thought I had bipolar). She…

No Longer Shrinking Myself
After four doses of my new medication, I’ve already started to feel noticeably better. I didn’t think that was possible because I have read it can take up to 2-6 weeks. But then I googled and realized that a lot of people noticed a difference almost right away (especially if they were in a depressive…

Letting Go of Fear, One Minute at a Time
My mental health honestly exhausts me. Monday, I felt so good. I had done a hard hike, spent time in God’s ceration with my hubby, and the weather was perfect. I had a weird night of sleep that night (as usual). I tend to have vivid dreams most nights. I sleep “enough,” but it’s not…

Night and Day
When I wrote yesterday, I felt like I was at the end of my rope. I had a lot of friends praying for me in addition to praying a lot myself. Just since yesterday, my mental health has gotten so much better. I still have some anxiety (and my physical health isn’t perfect yet), but…

As I Reflect on 2024
Spending some time alone this last morning of 2024. As I reflect on this year, I have had some high highs and low lows. Some days felt impossible. Some days felt as though my mental health had healed. While it’s sad when I realize my brain still struggles some times, my therapist reminds me to…

Acceptance
I feel like I’m coming into a new phase of life. The past few days during my prayer journaling, I have just felt God’s presence and peace in new ways. I shared these things on Facebook, but I’m going to expand on them here. I’m learning that it’s okay to have less active seasons. It’s…

Living a Life of Peace
These past few days have been PACKED with wisdom from God and just good things. I want to tell about it all, so this will be long. I apologize in advance, but I feel like most of it fits together! How to Live a Life of Peace God’s wisdom is so clear in the words…

Seasons Change…
Seasons are changing… and life has come full circle for our family. These past few weeks/months have been a roller coaster. I guess that’s life. We put the boys in school in August. I dropped Karis off 7.5 hours away at her university the next day. I was working quite a bit but was struggling……
