Timothy J. McNeely is working on being less fat
Here is another post I just put up that is related to this and how I am trying to put this into practice.
Yet in the midst of depression….I’m crippled. I can’t talk myself into getting them done, I can’t pray my way to getting them done, I can’t think or motivate or encourage myself to take on a simple todo list.
As a disciple of Christ one of the things that I have been meditating on is Philippians 4:4 “Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice!”
This is hard for me to put into practice. One days where I can hardly get out of bed and I feel entirely worthless and crippled I am called to give thanks. This drives me nuts. On the days where I can barely function I am called to give thanks.
As I keep meditating on this verse I am seeing the importance of not letting my health affect my ability to give thanks. During the times when the darkness is not lifting I have been trying to tell the Lord that I am thankful for the darkness.
I am thankful that he loves me enough to place me in a place where I can’t function because it leaves me desperate and with no where to turn but to him. I am seeking to rejoice that the Lord is seeking to break my pride. He is teaching me to not trust in my ability but to trust in him.
