Gentle Reader,
Linking up with Lisa-Jo Baker for Five Minute Friday. This week’s prompt: Grateful.
Go.
The zaps keep coming. I feel like my brain is going to pour out of my ear any minute now.
But there is Jesus.
That probably doesn’t make sense to you if you’ve never been through an antidepressant withdrawal. My brain feels like mush. I could cry…because. Don’t need a reason. My ribs hurt. But Jesus is there. He’s holding me. Every time I turn around, He’s got an encouraging word for me through a blog post, a song, the Word itself. No condemnation. No “do better, try harder.” Just the assurance that He’s walking this twisting road with me.
I’ve only begun to climb this mountain. It’ll get steeper. But it feels like I ran 18 marathons this week. I’m so tired. And wired. Everything all at once, it seems. I don’t make sense to myself. And I don’t like that.
But there is Jesus.
I don’t have to explain myself. He knows. He’ll dry my tears and ease my fears.
I am so grateful.
Stop.
What are you grateful for today? I’d love to hear about it! Come join the Five Minute Friday party!
