My personal preferance, as far as leaving comments about a book, to go under the one that we are commenting on so we all know which book we are talking about, and if we want to look back at a comment made, we know where to find it.
That said, I have to appologize. I recomended the book, and althouh I have the first chapter done, I am finding it difficult to remember what I read, and to even find the time to read the next chapter. Hey, I can do that now as the kids are all having a quiet time, and Scott is at work. See ya.
Okay, now I am done. So excited as I was able to kill two birds with one stone, I read the chapter in the tub.
Now, my thought is to combat the lies with truthes. So, here we go. God is good, and although I am going through depression, it is something that is bringing Scott and I closer to each other, and it is also making me realize where I have been falling short in so many areas of my life. God loves me, and an exciting revelation I had while in the tub was that he speaks to me through my love language (words of encouragment). So here they are. "Katrina, this living room looks really great. You did great with getting everything picked up and having the girls help you put the toys away. YOu were smart for thinking of the shop vac to use, since you are out of bags at the momment for the regular vacuum. YOu did great also, getting the cookies baked that you promised to Scott two weeks ago. YOu go girl. Just remember, we are taking one day at a time. We will cross tomorrow when it comes, and don't worry about having gotten nothing done yesterday other than cross-stitching. YOu have done great today, and keep it up. I love you so much."
One thing Scott read to me once out of a book, was that God loves us with an embarassing type of love. In that he would be like, "Look at my beautiful daughter here, didn't she just do a wonderful job on this? And look at this .... and this...." just going on and on about us. God has been showing me who he is, even in the example that I gave above in how he is encouraging me in a way that I can be encouraged.
God is enough to get me through this time. He uses different people in my life to encourage me on my way to getting healthy, but I know that I can find my streangth in him. I have no idea how many times I have sung Phil 4:13 off of G.T. and the Halo Express, the great race.
God's ways are there to keep me in freedome, so I am not trapped in front of the computer all day, and not doing anything around the house. And so that I am not eating food continuously.
God is here to help me through my problems, not to magically make them dissappear. Although, one of the web sites that I used to go to frequently to watch movies has changed it's format so I can no longer do that, and I have been realizing how lame some of the shows I have been watching really are, so that has greatly decreased my time here, although I have been feeling rather lost not knowing what to do initially, but God always encourages me with that first step.

Well, long enough.
