Is this the REAL deal?!

I started reading a chapter a day in deep religious books in the morning instead of doing a daily devotion. I started with Battlefield of the Mind by Joyce Meyer, then read Jesus Wants to Save Christians by Rob Bell (too deep for me) and I am now onto Crazy Love by Francis Chan. I realized I need something with a little more to it than just the little paragraphs in my favorite devotions book: Keeping God in the Small Stuff by Bruce & Stan; which is really good though.
I read near the end of chapter 3 of Crazy Love yesterday: "Do you believe that God is the greatest thing you can experience in the whole world? Are we in love with God or just His stuff? Do you love this God, who is everything, or do you just love everything He gives you? Hmmmm.....

Can't forget to take my Cymbalta!!

I never used to get depressed after Christmas but apparently I am this year...and in a BIG WAY! I have been in such a bad mood, it's unreal, unnatural and unfair. So continue reading at your own risk... I woke up the day after Christmas...no before that I was feeling "something not quite right" but then again I haven't been "quite right" for quite some time. But I was thinking about how I've been sick with bronchitis now for over 5 weeks and how I am supposed to wear a mask when I leave the house; which would mean wearing it to my mom's which WASN'T gonna happen but still. So, the day after Christmas I woke up hating the day. My cousin and her kid stayed overnight due to the weather and I was not real happy about it b/c I end up babysitting for her b/c she never gets up AND cleaning up after she leaves b/c she never helps clean up the mess her kid makes. So there was that and then Will begging and crying when I said no to opening and using his ne...

Day 2: Sitting with Myself. Length: 2 hours. Attention: Sexual Assault.

Today I decided to do the 2 hours together. I'm not sure that was super helpful. I feel like I just slept the last half hour/45 minutes anyway... even snoring/snorting myself awake a couple times.  I did take Xanax and hemp oil after the first hour so maybe that had something to do with it. So the first hour was more productive for sure. What kept drawing my attention was the sexual assault I endured at 12 or 13 years old... I know for sure that by 8th grade it had already happened because the bullying about it started during that school year. I was at the house party of an older male friend with my childhood best friend and I believe (I will just state the facts as I remember, from my point of view) we were the only 2 girls there. We were with Brian S, Brian H, Steve S, Cole G and I think that was it. We were playing some sort of game in the living room that turned into a drinking game possibly even a strip poker type of situation. There are flashes of memory after that: the hall ...
