Yesterday, I experienced a break thru in my life. For once, I was no longer depressed because of something. The situation did not overcome me. I did not cry nor did I sulk. I puzzled over the situation a bit. I wrinkled my brow. Then I began to open my Bible. I read and read and read some more. The Word began to stick. I remembered verse upon verse. I thought of "seek ye first the Kingdom of God" " I strive toward the goal." These words became music to my heart.

Yesterday I realized that i have arrived at a new place in God. This place is one that I have seen other people going to and coming from, but I never could find the key to get in my car to drive myself to that place. I could never find my running shoes. Where was my swipe card? I never had a swipe card. I never wanted one. Church bored me. Bible study bored me. I wanted the blessing, but I was not movitated to do the works. The other youth never came to church. Why should I have come every Sunday. My parents didn't go.

But praise.

Be to God because today I am not writing a xanga about some dismal problem I was facing yesterday because after decreeing and praying the problem just does not phase me.

Be no longer depresed was prophesied over me, and I asked myself when will that happen. It has happened. "I strive toward the goal" "The only wise God our majesty"

Amen.
