Well God has done amazing things! I have finally gotten over my depressed state on mind! A lot has to do with the full armor of God. I have done this every morning since I've broken up with my first true love. And I my friend sent me something similar to what I've been doing. But I love how this one is worded...

The Armor of God

Good morning Lord, thank you for assuring me of victory today. By faith I choose to follow Your battle plan and to prepare myself according to Your instructions.

To prepare myself for the battle ahead, by faith I put on the belt of truth. Renew my mind to what is true. Fill me with truth. Expose in my heart the lies that I am tempted to believe. The truth is that You are a sovereign God who loves me and cares for me. The truth about me is that I am Your child-bought and paid for. Nothing can separate me from Your love.

By faith I put on the breastplate of righteousness. Today I am committed to doing what is right. I pray that I would be known as one who does what is right regardless of what it cost me. Allow the righteousness of Christ to shine through me today.

By faith I put on the sandals of the gospel. I am available to You. Use me in the lives of others. I pray that in my conduct and speech I would accurately represent You. Make me a calming presence everywhere I go.

I now take the shield of faith. My faith is in You and You alone. Apart from you I can do nothing. In You, I can do all things. Everything that comes against me must come through You for I am in You. As you walked without sin on this earth, live without sin through me today. By faith I claim victory over____________(some of the temptations that we face in the day) when I face these temptations, remind me that the victory has already been won.

By faith I put on the helmet of salvation. Thank You for saving me. Thank You for forgiving me. Thank You for sending the Holy Spirit to live inside me. Holy Spirit, I surrender my will to You today. I surrender my thoughts to you. I choose to take every thought captive to the obedience of Christ.

And Last, I take up the sword of the spirit, which is the Word of God. So, Lord I go now rejoicing that you have chosen me to represent You to this lost world. May others see Jesus in me. May Satan and his hosts shudder as Your power is manifest through me.

In Jesus' name I pray. Amen

Isn't it awesome!?! I have started my day with this prayer and it already has gone wonderfully. I feel that because I was depending on myself to get out of this rut... But in fact I should have been trusting in God! He is an awesome God we serve!

I finally feel like my old self again. Confident! Content! Happy! Joyful! It's a wonderful feeling! Thank YOU Father for helping me see the way! Maybe it helped that I talked to my mom who's now in Seattle with my brother and his family for Jackson's surgery. I miss her so much! She helps me keep my head on straight. Thanks MOM!

God has regiven me my vision and lust for life! I know I will be content in any situation HE has me in, but only if my trust is in HIM and not myself. It's a wonderful feeling to be back! Thank you God!

Bye

Well today has been a rough day for me. I'm kinda depressed and I'm not quite sure why. It's one of those things where you look at what has happened to you in a day and you see how much God has done and you wonder how the heck you can be so depressed. God has honestly done some amazing things in my life.

Like today, I was worried about money. I had my insurance and car payment due this week and I started to get nervous that I wasn't going to be able to make the payments. I only had like $83 in the bank and my insurance alone was $96.00. Well ironically enough I check the mail and one of my clients that I could have guarenteed wouldn't have payed for another couple months actually sent me a check for part of the amount due. Amazingly enough I can pay all my bills with this paycheck for the entire month! I mean isn't God awesome!

I read this scripture the other day that really impacts me... 2 Peter 1:5-8... Talking about adding qualities to your Faith to be effective and productive in the knowledge of my Lord Jesus Christ. I worry at times though. I worry too much! God has provided and I still have a hard time being happy. What is going on in my heart? Why can't I be completely given to God and have HIS joy streaming through my body, heart and soul? I need to seek HIM! He is my strength and guidance.

Things are going wonderful for me! I am missing my parents. They are in Seattle with my brother and his family due to my nephews surgery. He's a little guy that will melt your heart with his wonderful smile. Check out the family pics to see his adorable picture. I'm scared for him but I also know that God has a wonderful plan for his life! I have been working, but my computer which I use for everything is dying on me as we speak. So I'm not wanting to have to fix my computer but knowing that I have to if I want to keep making money at my business. :) I have just recently went through a break-up that has been emotional but we are still the best of friends. What more could I ask for? I mean it? I just said that I had a break-up where the two parties involved are friends after the whole thing! CRAZY! God is awesome!

I am a woman in a wonderful society that allows women to be utilized just as much as men, if not more. At least in my type of business.

I pray: Thank you Father for everything YOU have done in my life! I just pray that I will be a woman worthy of serving you and working for YOUR kingdom! Please keep me safe and help me to be the godly woman I know YOU want me to be! Help me grow in YOU! I need YOUR strength to make it day by day. I want YOUR joy Lord. Thank you Father. Amen.

Alrighty peoples,
I'm a strange person. I know this. I have added a guestbook so that I can tell if anyone likes my site at all. And now on top of that I've added a blab page so that I can just talk about whatever I want. Let me know what you think of my blad page either through email or sign my guestbook. I wanted to add my own diary from diaryland.com but my "neo-nazi" internet provider blocks the diary section. So here I am pretty much making my own diaryland... Maybe I should just add a discussion group? I should look into that.

So here's my dilema. May 15th I get my braces off. I'm extatic! And on top of that Depeche Mode comes out with their new album EXCITER!!! I'm totally jazzed! I couldn't be more thrilled.
