There is some editing and removing some things that I have been intending to do for some time. For now I'm mostly putting any post that I want to edit on draft status and they'll come back as I make some slight changes. The bad thing about writing a blog when as sick as I've been is that sometimes things may not come out gently.

Whenever the rainbow appears in the clouds, I will see it and remember the everlasting covenant between God and all living creatures of every kind on the earth." Genesis 9:13

About Me
- Just Me
- Over the years I have noticed that when I have the least hope a rainbow appears. Rainbows are a wonderful combination of beauty, hope, happiness and rain, the product of ugly grey clouds that hide the beauty of the sky. The beauty that is a rainbow can only come with the presence of both rain and sun. Such is life with bipolar disorder. There are good times, there are tough times, and there are rainbows to remind us that beauty will return, sometimes fleetingly and sometimes for a long time. This blog is my story of sadness and hope. Please scroll down to "Who I Am" under Pages to read more about me and the people who populate this blog.
In Case
Please note that any patient experiences noted in this blog are heavily edited to disguise events. Similarities to real persons are coincidental.
Please also know that while I speak as a professional at times, I am not a doctor. I have strong opinions, some based on professional training and/or experience, some based on research, and some based on personal experience of my own variety of this illness. Therefore what I say is my opinion, not a fact and doctors should always be consulted.

I'm feeling kind of down today. School is coming to a close and I feel lacking in energy to make the final push and even more unmotivated to create a business or employment plan for the future. Sigh. I need to "pull myself up by the bootstraps"...even strap on my walking shoes and get moving...rather than sink into the familiar doldrums.
I hope that one of today's devotionals is encouraging. I copied the text but if you want to sign up for them and/or see the beautiful daily photograph, here's the link:

Psalm 31:7 WEB
I will be glad and rejoice in Your loving kindness,
for You have seen my affliction.
You have known my soul in adversities.
Promise #74: I see all your hardships and I care about your suffering.
The English Standard Version of the Psalm 31:7 says this... I will rejoice and be glad in Your steadfast love, because You have seen my affliction; You have known the distress of my soul (ESV)
King David, who wrote this psalm, knew a lot about hardship and affliction. He experienced much loss, betrayal, grief and violence in his tumultuous life.
The one thing I have always appreciated about David was his transparency when writing the Psalms. He never tried to cover up his true feelings. He was honest in his communication with God. In today's Bible verse found in Psalm 31:7, we read how David was keenly aware of the steadfast love that God had for him. He was also aware that God understood his suffering and deeply cared for him in the midst of his distress.
No matter what pain you are going through in your life today, God understands. He knows us more than we know ourselves. When He sees our struggles and our suffering, His heart is filled with compassion for us. As David also wrote in Psalm 103:13-14, God has compassion on us just like a good father has compassion on his children. May you and I be overwhelmed with His steadfast love today in the midst of our suffering.
