I Trust When Dark My Road

I read Untreatable Online pretty regularly. It’s not particularly Christian from my perspective, but the author has great wisdom in understanding mental illness. Here is today’s post:

BPD Awareness Month – Best Parts About Having A Mental Illness

To his list I would add the following:

6. Recognizing God‘s mercy. I would never have as deep an understanding of God’s mercy and care without my illnesses.

7. Seeing God’s people in action. In the same vein, God works mightily through the smallest and strangest of places (and people!). It really is a joy to watch God at work, even in the midst of great sorrow and pain.

Those are mine. What are yours?

I’ve been in this kinda mood lately….hopefully it will pass soon.

Dear Blog,

Yes, I’ve been treating you like a shut-in.  I love to see you when I’m there, but you make me tired and listless.  You remind me of how imperfect I am, how much I want to just stare at the wall or watch mindless TV, or how little I like interacting with people.

Yet, I’m always glad when I’m with you.  You give me joy.  You remind me I’m not alone, and that there are others out there struggling as much if not more than I do.

I’ll try to do better.  I’ll try not to neglect you so much.  But I am ever so aware that I need you as much if not more than you need me.

Talk to you again soon.

I hate it when that happens.
