LIVING ROOM MEMORIES 199 (October 28, 2008) King David wrote “When I felt secure, I said, ‘I will never be shaken’ …O Lord, when you favored me, you made my mountain stand firm; but when you hid your face, I was dismayed.” (Psalm 30:6-7) He must have been bipolar, don’t you think? He knew exactly […]
Read More...LIVING ROOM MEMORIES 198 (October 25, 2008) I’m feeling much better this morning. Living Room always does that for me. It’s healing. Yesterday we talked about being in the company of Jesus and what that means. Is being in company with Jesus enough? Or do we need people around us to show us Jesus’ love […]
Read More...Copying from the previous post: “I do feel Jesus close and feel Him closer in the sharing of Him with others.” I’m very close to Jesus at times, especially when I’m in pain. I feel him close when I write about him too. But I think I feel him closest when I’m sharing him with […]
Read More...LIVING ROOM MEMORIES 197 (October 22, 2008) I’ve been waking up sad every morning lately. Spending time with God in sadness. And I wish it were enough for me to simply sit and be in the company of Jesus for comfort. But I so often want to reach out to friends when I feel like […]
Read More...In the previous post I quoted from 1 John 4:17 in the Message: “God is love. When we take up permanent residence in a life of love, we live in God and God lives in us.” That helps me see why Living Room used to do me so much good. It also helps me see […]
Read More...LIVING ROOM MEMORIES 196 (October 11, 2008) Living Room was wonderful yesterday, yet I was worried about myself going into it. Wondered if I could lead the way I needed to. Life has been so very complex, especially with my mother sick. We found out she’d had a heart attack. She will be in hospital […]
Read More...In the previous post on coping I wrote, “My friends and my church are very important to me though. They’re my support system and I stay in close touch with them.” Throughout this story about me and Living Room you will have read how much I valued my friends – three in particular. I received […]
Read More...LIVING ROOM MEMORIES 195 (October 7, 2008) I feel a bit like a nun – have felt like that for quite awhile now – tied to the work I do, paying little attention to the world around me. I never watch TV. Don’t keep track of the news – not via radio, TV, or newspaper. […]
Read More...Although my psychiatrist says I still have bipolar disorder, I don’t feel like I do. The moods are quite different. As a result of what happened to me, I was diagnosed with features of borderline personality disorder (BPD). Symptoms and ability to cope are much different. (I should mention though. I believe BPD was a […]
Read More...LIVING ROOM MEMORIES 194 (September 30, 2008) I’m feeling not too bad at all this morning. I pray that this upturn will continue and that the depression won’t pull me under to too great an extent. It’s interesting to see how depression grabs hold.
