Oh sorry.. It's been dead here lately, and I tend not to read all the posts I miss. Umm, no, my bible reading and praying hasn't improved at all. I'm trying to read the more interesting parts of the bible, but as I mentioned before, I get distracted after a minute or two. I very much feel like God doesn't hear me when I DO pray, so what's the use really, is how I feel right now.
It's winter, and my depression really flares up and kicks my butt every winter. Not to mention Vermont is currently getting slammed with snow right now. So my depression isn't helping my spiritual life at all. I keep trying to pull myself up and out, but I'm failing rather miserably at it.
I want to try and move outta this dump this year, hopefully before next winter. I've lived here for 20 years, and I feel very oppressed and depressed in this building. My neighbors are nosy, others are noisy, but they're all crazy and I need a change of environment. Between the river out back and the rock ledge across the road, which has come down, I think 2 times now, and all the mold in these apartments from the river flooding the basement, this building is not safe either structurally or environmentally.
I'm hoping to move to Pioneer Apts. The mailboxes are inside, the rental office is downstairs, and there's also a laundromat on premises. Best thing is, the bus comes through once an hour all day. Not to mention I already know several of the people who live there.
As for the enemy, he's attacking me hard, but as always I WILL survive.
Good morning blue & LittleBit. Hey blue, has your ability to stay in God's word improved? I have been praying for you since you mentioned having trouble with it. God would do more for us all if we prayed for each other more often. Would you believe this color is brown?
Looks burgundy red to me.. lol

mold can cause depression , just say outloud "I praise you Jesus" it helps
I've had depression since childhood. Trust me, it's NOT the mold that's causing it.. lol
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
it could be suppressed from childhood trama that was too much for your child mind to handle , the body does a lot to heal us, getting away from your neighbors could help, people carry demons that are not saved, and they will try to torment us.
I believe your health issues are also somewhat to blame for the ongoing depression. I know I fight osteoarthritis pain every day as you do. Mine more advanced in years. I am lucky now that I live with my youngest son which helps, but it is not always easy. I will keep you up in my prayers. I am aware of the steel sky feeling when praying, although mine seems open right now. If we didn't have these valleys blue, we wouldn't recognize the mountain tops.
Thanks for that, we just checked it out and it is beautiful. God is so awesome!
Hi Blue. Have you tried listening to the bible instead of reading it? It worked for me. Listening to it made it seem more interesting and easier to understand. Here is the whole bible on audio for free online. You can choose a different translation if you like too (KJV, NIV, etc.)Oh sorry..

Someone else asked me that awhile ago. The only problem with listening to the bible is, I usually multi-task when I'm on here. One tab open on CC, another on Youtube, another on Google Images. So while I may be listening to the audio bible, if I'm focused on doing something else, I'll be hearing it but not really paying attention.
That's my whole problem right there: not being able to focus.
