It took me a couple of days to read the 5th day teaching. And I didn't get to it right away either. And then when I finished I didn't write in the journal right away, so it's been a while. But I do want to complete this journey. I think it might be worth it. I've been feeling so stuck lately. So many interviews, and so many rejections. I feel like I can't do anything right now. The house is a mess, so many problems (medical and other stuff) with my son, finances are a mess. I'm just feeling stuck and helpless. What is that... something about being a helpless victim. And I don't want to be that anymore. So here I am, back on the journey, hoping to find power and truth and hope in God. Please pray. Thanks for all your prayers, I really feel them making a difference.

I'm so glad for your spiritual journey. As far as the other stuff - it is easy to not want to touch it because it is such a mess. But if you will do just one thing over and over through the days, it will get better. If you will pick up a dish, throw away some trash, wipe off one counter.... then maybe you might get to the point of being willing to do a sink of dishes during your energetic moment. Just one thing. I can at least......

God bless you. I know it is hard.

Hey Dena.
Want to congratulate u for carrying on with the study. I just started yesterday and studied the first step again today.
I too have been battling depression and feelings of defeat. But I feel it's a battle right now. It's a battle that I can't fight but that God can. I have no idea how to overcome depression and doubt, I've tried all my life off and on (yes I know exercise, just try to get something done, be gentle with myself, etc). But I need to turn to the great Shepperd who loves me for His victory. His way, His path. God Bless you sister. Keep going with your study. I'm praying for you !
