Patience revisited...

Greetings on an EARLY Monday morning...I have been battling depression this weekend, and needed to write a few things down to inspire not only myself...but I'm hoping anyone who reads this blog. I went back and read most of the blogs I had done since December of '06...and in two instances I mentioned the loneliness I was feeling. It really didn't hit me so hard until recent events, though...and I find it very difficult to find strength these days for some odd reason. Once Again(wrote this September '07)I have known for a long, long time that I am made by God to listen...and to pray...for REAL people and their very real problems/walks. But I am coming to realize more how much I need to draw up a god made plan, and then take CHARGE of my life by SPEAKING and letting others feel the power christ has given me in my life! I don't know...In July I wrote that my hope was that as many as possible will continue to battle it out as long as it takes for them to fight off the enemy and will be coming to church for the long haul...no matter what the cost to personal comfort, relationships and lifestyles...because there is hope in our lord and savior, Jesus Christ. As my pastor pointed out this past Sunday with the help of a couple guys from the prison work release house I work at, it is gonna take reaching out to the "unwanted" of this world to truly heal and do the lord's work. Yes, I wrote in mid-August I felt I was going nowhere, and as I re-listen to the song "Burn It Down" by Alter Bridge, which I also posted in a blog...I will once again wait for this "dusk to reach it's dawn."...I will draw on words of inspiration emphasized from slightly different ones uttered by a great church friend, who I thanked on the phone Sunday night for those images of how I can put my best foot(and godly life) forward from here..."Remember to find a new way...to carry on."
