The past year or so has not been an easy one, suffice it to say I've discovered that my depression is rooted much deeper than just a chemical imbalance, and that working through this deepness has been the hardest thing I've ever done and continue to do. For the past six months or so I've been on a road of personal healing; mentally, emotionally, and spiritually, and although I've come far, I still have very far to go. There have been times that I've been so close to giving up, to stop healing, to stop this painful road that I've put myself on, but when those times come, and I'm just about to throw in the towel, I am reminded of my knowledge of God, and of His Son Jesus Christ, and of the knowledge that I am a daughter of God, and that there is nothing I will experience in this life that I won't have the strength to overcome. And above all, on these hard days, I'm reminded that my Savior and Redeemer, Jesus Christ, knows how I feel, that he has experienced my exact emotions and feelings, and that he will never leave me alone, which is something that this video beautifully depicts.
For because he lives, I continue to do so. Easter is a very special time of year, and it's not just about baskets and eggs full of candy. It's about life, the life Christ gave for all of us, including you and me, and the life that he then took back, through the resurrection, so that we can all live again in the prescense of our God. I know God lives, I know Christ lives, and that through him, we can all survive our personal Gethsemane.
Happy Easter
