I am moving forward and keeping myself in a positive place.
“Depression is the inability to construct a future” Rollo May
This is the challenge that I have is that I am not sure what is going to happen in the future there is a lot of uncertainty in my life. At any time a new baby is on the way, potential job-loss, isolation, fear and more.
Keep me afloat another day, help me to make my way.

When you are with God(and you are with Him_even if you aren’t aware of it,all the time;you are with Him,guarded and accompanied by Him _from the moment you have decided with all your actual,even diminished_ powers of your soul and mind_to return to Him;but,because the word “return”_has some strong and quite scarring implications,the equivalent of it is the one’s asking and inviting God to enter into his own life;that is the moment that triggers everything_the return,the “walking” on the path,the answers and the help…)_you are like a little mouse kept at warmth into His pocket…
Keep praying,(talking with sincerity,openness and spontaneity_with God)_little mouse !
Maybe God is calling me back, maybe God wants me back to the original elements from which I came, or you think he is testing me with all these life events.
I am so scared.
I love the image of a mouse in the pocket.
Thank you.. for reminding me.. that I am always with Him.
Do you know what is the most difficult part regarding my trying to help you ?
My “challenge”_as you would call it_a favourite word of yours ?!
It is_ not to tell you everything I know(and it took so much time for me to obtain it ).But I have to be patient and not to spoil God’s work.I’m like someone who knows the answer of a riddle_and has to keep his mouth shut_because the other one will get his own answer.
Not that God is playing riddles with you and neither is He punishing you(even if you would be a bad person_He wouldn’t punish you;and you are a good person; I can feel that, plus_this blog speaks about it).Or testing you…But he needs your conscious and reiterated consent for His intervention about your return to Him.
This means _He needs your desire_your personal one,as little as it might be(at first)_
regarding His person, your being with Him,allowing His presence into your life.
There are obstacles to all this work?!You bet_they are !!!
But those are not placed in your way,surrounding you or on your shoulders _by God.
Yet _as they are directed to you by “the other,opposite,force”_God uses them as some strengthening device working on that desire of yours about Him.
Imagine yourself as walking against a big,stormy _wind.The force you would need ,in order to advance, against that wind _would be much stronger than that needed to advance in a normal environment.Your desire towards God _is that force.The bigger the obstacle _the bigger the desire needed…And _the bigger the desire _the bigger the answer (in the form of light,inspiration,good events_you name it ) from the part of God.
Of course _the bigger the answer(God’s ones ) _the bigger your advancement on the path towards Him…
You know that somewhere in the Catholic doctrine it is written about “the missionary role of evil”?!Quite funny_isn’t it ?
But don’t be afraid _it is not something God would prolong too much time doing.It is not a method of choice for Him.As you repeatedly call Him _the strength of those dark and frightening “attacks “will fade,eventually disappearing.
It’s as if God would tell (to that “other force”) :”See_I’m invited !”
Yes _there is one that might be called ” the answer of the answers” _from the part of God _toward a man .
And,this,my friend _I have to keep my mouth (keyboard ) shut about_in order not to spoil your own joy of receiving “It”_directly from God.
today I think that I may have felt it. I all just started working… somehow I felt important and needed.
Please,please _tell us more about that !!!Give us all the details !So we could rejoice ,also_by feeling and living your thoughts and emotions…Paint those, for us_using words instead of colour tubes !
