God Wants Me Happy!

Don't miss it!  This is your time!  How are you handling your life now that it's the New Year?  We're on Facebook and Instagram! https://www.facebook.com/NoMoDepression/ https://www.instagram.com/nomoredepression_time2bhappy/

What if you are not depressed and it’s your loved one that suffers from depression through the holiday, thereby causing you to feel a little down too.  We covered surviving the holiday weekend last year, http://www.depressionnomore.care/2016/05/6-ways-to-get-rid-of-depression-over.html .   It’s always a good article to refer back to.   Here are 5 Ways to Help Your Loved One Through the Holiday Season!: 1.         Pray. (Did you expect something else coming from me?, LOL)  Lay everything before God.  Write it if you need to.  The Bible speaks of making our petitions known to God.  List how you feel and what you’ve experienced.  Ask God to hold your loved one through this season and ask God to strengthen you to be the support that they need . 1 John 5:14, 15 14  And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask any thing according to his will, he heareth us:   15...

What is fashionable in your eyes? Most people don't consider themselves too fashionable.  We often visualize ourselves through others views and perceptions, which can cause us to doubt ourselves when we attempt to live up to others' expectations.  Do you know that God fashioned you with His own hands? Thy hands have made me and fashioned me: give me understanding, that I may learn thy commandments. Psalms 119:73 The thing about fashioning and/or creating something is that we take our time working on it.  Even if we make a mistake during the initial creation, we continue to work on it to its perfection.  We love to see a beautiful finished product.  God is not human, so unlike us, He doesn't make mistakes, everything that He created He looks at and calls it GOOD . You were fashioned by the Master Creator, the God of this Universe.  When He made you He looked you over and called you GOOD.  He gave you talents and gifts that make you u...

I let someone upset me. Yes, I realize that people will upset us in life, but I allowed someone to get me angry. I didn’t look to God for almost an hour and even when I did, it wasn’t for long. What happened? I’m at work and our new supervisor was out at training. While he was out we had several emergencies that we handled in his absence. The end of the day approached and I provided him with a status update and informed him that I needed to leave for the day. While informing him that I was leaving I advised him that he needed to ask to be excused from the training that he was attending to free him to be involved in sorting out the emergencies. His response to me: “It is a problem that  you  can’t accommodate working additional hours and be a team player”. I didn’t remind him that I had already worked an additional hour. At the time of his writing I was already passed my closing time, trying to “help”. I responded: “Thank you for the kind words, as I am still here working....

Blessed Sabbath! For 10 Minutes today, thank and praise God that you don't look like what you've been through!  Thank God that today you are better, stronger, smarter and wiser because of His love for you!   This scripture says He dresses us with His saving power and covers us with His goodness. Do you know anyone else who would do that? I was a mess and I can still be a mess, but I'm so thankful that God chose me! I'm thankful and beyond grateful for how He blesses me. I'm not where I should be, but if you know me, I'm definitely not what I used to be. Thank YOU God! Isaiah 61:10 (KJV)  I will greatly rejoice in the LORD, my soul shall be joyful in my God; for he hath clothed me with the garments of salvation, he hath covered me with the robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom decketh himself with ornaments, and as a bride adorneth herself with her jewels.

I'm so thankful to serve a God Who Is not ORDINARY!  I'll admit that when I decide not to sit in a depressed state and instead choose to spend time with God, listen and allow myself to feel His love for me, I experience the AMAZING! I'll admit it, it took a long time to get here.  I had to learn to say "NO" to depression.  I'm still learning to say no.  I'm still learning to choose God over my feelings, choose God over rejection and neglect.  I have found that there is nothing better and best of all nothing ORDINARY about how He saves the day. God has the ability to take the most horrible situations work for my good.  He opens up doors that would otherwise be shut.  He makes a way when everyone says, "no way"! God is not ORDINARY!  He's ExtraOrdinary!  He's Amazing!  He's Powerful, Awesome, Magnificent, Wonderful, Strong, Mighty and Loving! I'm so glad that my God is not ORDINARY!  via  Daily Prompt: Ordinary

You were created to influence the area around you. You don’t feel like that. You may not believe it. You have too many problems. Maybe you can’t influence yourself.  I have to be honest. Your thoughts are wrong and they’re lies. I’m not being harsh. I’m being honest. God has given you gifts because He gives gifts to all. These gifts are to be used for his glory. Even if it’s our sad story.  The start times in my life have been my greatest testimonies of victory. People look and say, “you made it through that”, or “you don’t look life that happened”. Believe this, your gift needs to be in operation.  Live your greatest life now but activating your gift for God! 

I shared this today in my group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/growaminuteadaywithgod/ Good Morning, The scripture today (Romans 12:12) is blowing my mind! Rejoice (be happy, get excited) in hope. We must learn that hope is something to be happy about. I had the opportunity to walk around my neighborhood this week and I found so much to pray about. More than enough people look hopeless. I've felt hopeless during certain times in my life, it's a feeling that I don't like. I t's debilitating. The definition of hope is to expect with confidence. What a blessing it is to have hope! The Bible tells us... In Hebrews 3:14...For we are made partakers of Christ, if we hold the beginning of our confidence stedfast until the end. - - We are able to enjoy all that Christ has for us if we continue to hope in Him. And again in Hebrews 10:35...Cast not away therefore your confidence, which hath great recompense of reward. - - Don't throw away your hope in God! It...

There are times when we must be alone. Jesus knows how this feels. He experienced being placed into a wilderness experience. He experienced wanting to the point of hunger. He experienced temptation. This experience enables Jesus to relate to us. To understand loneliness, want, hunger, temptation and a host of other feelings that we are familiar with.  We have a Savior and Redeemer who can relate to us. Talk with Him about your feelings today.  And Jesus being full of the Holy Ghost returned from Jordan, and was led by the Spirit into the wilderness, Being forty days tempted of the devil. And in those days he did eat nothing: and when they were ended, he afterward hungered. And the devil said unto him, If thou be the Son of God, command this stone that it be made bread. And Jesus answered him, saying, It is written, That man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God. And the devil, taking him up into an high mountain, shewed unto him all the kingdoms of the w...

His thoughts towards me Are of peace And with His Right hand He upholds me My soul shall Make her boast in the Lord And I will be Abundantly pardoned Exalted in due time Praised Beheld And EVERY THING EVERY MATTER EVERY SITUATION EVERY BATTLE WILL WORK OUT FOR MY GOOD!

Father, forgive me. I sent myself down, Spiraling, Into seas of depression, Low Self-Esteem, Dependency, Exhausting my nature Neglecting responsibilities, Shunning values, Ignoring self-made morals, Corrupting, Deconstructing, Falsifying happiness, Disregarding authority. In an effort to escape... That which would make me, Step into my new horizon... Into the felicitous atmosphere that awaits me. Where happiness in typical, And energy is at its fullest. Where love and gladness are perpetual, And gratifying expressions of joy Have been reserved especially for me. Forgive me and restore me to: My Vocation as a Royal Priesthood My Office as a Prophet My Destiny as a Conqueror My Position as a Deliverer Father perform it by Your Will and... I will be COMPLETE.

Jeremiah 17:5-10 New Living Translation (NLT) Wisdom from the  Lord 5  This is what the  Lord  says: “Cursed are those who put their trust in mere humans,      who rely on human strength      and turn their hearts away from the  Lord . 6  They are like stunted shrubs in the desert,      with no hope for the future. They will live in the barren wilderness,      in an uninhabited salty land. 7  “But blessed are those who trust in the  Lord      and have made the  Lord  their hope and confidence. 8  They are like trees planted along a riverbank,      with roots that reach deep into the water. Such trees are not bothered by the heat      or worried by long months of drought. Their leaves stay green,      and they never stop producing fruit. 9  “The human hear...

I was in trouble, so I called to the  Lord  for help. The  Lord  answered and made me free. The  Lord  is with me, so I will not be afraid. No one on earth can do anything to harm me. Psalm 118:5-6   ERV In   every   thing   give   thanks : for this is the will of God  in  Christ Jesus concerning you. 1 Thessalonians 5:18

Good Morning! Today and everyday, the LORD is my Shepherd! He gives me rests and restores me. He gives me direction and when I follow, He comforts me. He takes covers me and protects me in the midst of harm and chaos. He loves me better than anyone can ever love me and will continue to do so forever!

Can you imagine a child without a relationship with their parents?  What would it be like if you never spoke to your mother or your father?   How would you feel about a best friend who never called or stopped by? Where would a marriage be if the husband and wife never communicated or if the communication was one-sided?  When does it become necessary to interact with someone who you love, i.e., a parent, a spouse, a child, a sibling? Relationships are important in our lives.  The greatest relationship that we should have is with our God Who created us.  He desires our time and our attention.  He always blesses us.  It's time that we bless Him with the gift of a relationship.   Psalm 139:13-14 King James Version     (13) For thou hast possessed my reins: thou hast covered me in my mother's womb. (14) I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well.
