Our search IS over

 THE SEARCH IS OVER - I WAS WITH YOU ALL THE WHILE 


Great song

Great sermon title

Great life story of God and Us


Quick change of some words and wow. 


Stay tuned I think we might have something here. 


But anyway this song moves me so much it almost brings me to tears.  


It might be the best love song ever written made better by how it makes me see how we all need to realize that ( the search IS over)


Jesus Christ is what we have all been looking for all along


-------I-----


How can I convince you

What you see is real?

Who am I to blame you

For doubting what you feel?

I was always reachin'

You were just a girl I knew

I took for granted

The friend I had in you

I was living for a dream

Loving for a moment

Taking on the world

That was just my style

Now I look into your eyes

I can see forever

The search is over

You were with me all the while

Can we last forever?

Will we fall apart?

At times, it's so confusing

The questions of the heart

You followed me through changes

And patiently you'd wait

'Til I came to my senses

Through some miracle of fate

I was living for a dream

Loving for a moment

Taking on the world

That was just my style

Now I look into your eyes

I can see forever

The search is over

You were with me all the while

Now the miles stretch out behind me

Loves that I have lost

Broken hearts lie, victims of the game

Then good luck, it finally struck

Like lighting from the blue

Every highway's leading me back to you

Now at last, I hold you

Now all is said and done

The search has come full circle

Our destinies are one

So if you ever loved me

Show me that you give a damn

You'll know for certain

The man I really am

I was living for a dream

Loving for a moment

Taking on the world

That was just my style

Then I touched your hand

I could hear you whisper

The search is over

Love was right before my eyes

Are you very afraid

 Day by day, the world is unraveling, becoming more frayed and afraid, more unstable and unsteady. We hear of wars and rumors of war, of false christs, of famines, of earthquakes, and of pestilences. Nations are rising against nations and kingdoms against kingdoms. Christians are attacked and slain at an accelerated pace. But there is a God in heaven.


We needn’t pace the floor at night or run around in a frenzy. We shouldn’t faint, fear, or fret. There is a God in heaven.


Daniel, too, lived in a churning world of change, empires rising and falling. His own nation, Israel, was wiped off the earth like a stain. But Daniel’s spirit remained steady because he understood the sovereign providence of the God of heaven. “Blessed be the name of God forever and ever,” he wrote, “for wisdom and might are His. And He changes the times and the seasons; He removes kings and raises up kings…. The Most High rules in the kingdom of men” (Daniel 2:20-21; 4:17).


In the Last Days perilous times will come, but there is a God in heaven—and if you know Christ as Savior, this God is your God. He rules and reigns, and our times are in His hands (Psalm 31:15).

Are medications Evil

 There is a great debate about this 


Yes medication is never the go to or first resort but it's not evil either. 


The point is some issues are not spiritual but medical. 

Read my book 

Depression anxiety and the child of god Pt1


Breaking the taboos of mental illness and the church. 


Medications are abused and over used but not always to be avoided. 


Been counseling for 20 years as a Christian counselor plus.  And even more I have personally walked in these shoes. 


Clarity and education and a whole lot of Jesus 


Blessings and Maranatha


Check out my first book to better understand 


Are medications evil and wrong


Medication does NOT make you a failure

 This needs to be shared, needs to be read, and most importantly heard. 


Sertraline- Zoloft

Venlafaxine- Effexor

Citalopram- Celexa

Mirtazapine-Remeron

Fluoxetine- Prozac

Duloxetine- Cymbalta

Seroquel- Quetiapine

Lamictal- Lamotrigine

Lexapro- Escitalopram

Wellbutrin- Bupropion

Lorazepam- Ativan

Klonopin- Clonazepam

Abilify - aripiprazole 

Tegrotal - carabamezipine

Buspar - buspirone


You may know what these tablets are or know a loved one who takes them, but in case you don't, I will fill you in. That medication allows people to deal with a normal day to day life. Although most days it leaves them tired, spaced out, emotionless, or even super emotional.

Crazy right? Why would anyone want to feel like that? Well this is why!

You see, some people suffer from severe depression and anxiety. 

In their brain it doesn't sit right, something seems different. They notice little differences that other people wouldn't. Most days they wake up sick and feel sleepless. 

They consistently overthink every situation.

Was a comment about them; was it a joke? 

Was that person supposed to laugh? 

Or did they mean it? 

Are they being nice? 

Are they talking about them? 

Do they talk about them? 

They then think, I bet they don’t like me really.

They say sorry all the time. They feel like they annoy everyone. 

And for all those questions they will spend hours trying to answer. Let it all build up in their mind, until it sends them to tears...... it's mental that they see things that way. 

It's not only mental changes, but physical changes. They don't eat a lot or they eat way too much. Insomnia, up all night answering questions to situations that don't even exist, or sleep too much and waste half their day still feeling tired. 

They still smile and they have every excuse for when you ask why.

But the tablets can help them. Because they know when they start to feel this way or think this way, they need help. 

They know that when their behavior starts to change, They need guidance.  And they understand that they don't need to be ashamed. They don't need to be understood. They just need to be accepted. Everyone is fighting a battle and sometimes you need to be kinder. 


So I may just be another person who's talking about mental health....

Living with this illness is hard, but trying to understand it, is even harder. It’s also 100 times harder if they have another condition on top of this.

Don't suffer in silence.

Mental health is just as important as physical health.


Be part of the healing.💙

Be understanding.💙

Be kind. 💙

💙 Copied and pasted.💙  

Sometimes don’t even try to understand, just simply love that person, support them, and be there when they need you. Some people in my life have truly mastered this, and for you I will forever be grateful!

Failing and why

 It is impossible to live without failing at something unless you live so cautiously that you might  not have lived at all.. In which case you fail by default

When you just want to die

 When your pressed out of measure


You and I are not alone in these struggles as it happens to the best of us. 


 2 Corinthians 1:8 ►


For we would not, brethren, have you ignorant of our trouble which came to us in Asia, that we were pressed out of measure, above strength, insomuch that we despaired even of life:
