It’s Going to Be Okay….

As I’ve said before, life is already hard. Add mental illness on top of that and life can get extremely difficult.

But guess what? It is going to be okay. Jesus promises that even though we suffer here on earth (He promises that we will….) BUT we are to take heart! Why? Because He has OVERCOME THE WORLD!!!

I’m Writing a Book! (Maybe?)

I want to write a book. I’ve been saying this for several years….if not a couple decades if I’m being honest, LOL

I asked two close friends to keep me accountable this go around. I told them to just check in with me every couple of days. I feel if I have someone in my corner, rooting for me and keeping me on the path to accomplishment then I can do it. AND I have God on my side too. With His help, I can do this.

I’m currently in a manic state right now and am wondering if this sudden burst of energy and impulse is a part of the mania. I’m trying to work through this. I so badly want to write a book. I refuse to let any kind of mental illness stop me. I have GOD on my side.
