Singing my way through depression!

Singing in an open mic night on my bday in 2019 Sing, O heavens; and be joyful, O earth; and break forth into singing, O mountains: for the LORD hath comforted his people, and will have mercy upon his afflicted. ~ Isaiah 49:13 As I'm headed back into the studio to record new music, I'm reflecting on my journey in the last five years. Whew -where do I begin? It was the hardest five years of my life. Not only due to circumstances but emotions associated with the circumstances. I was deeply depressed to say the least. I have gone through so many moods and feelings. While my son was in the NICU for four months, I endured sadness, anxiety, anger, aggravation, heartbreak and intense worry. It was no joke! My heart goes out to parents with babies in the NICU till this day and I will always remember my experience. Of course mine was even more difficult when you add my separation to the equation.

It just means that you are letting go of the resentment or bitterness you are carrying towards them. It's too great of a burden for you to bear, so give it to Jesus. If not you will continue to walk around angry and unhappy because you refuse to let go of what happened to you in the past. No one has been wronged like Christ who was perfect and without sin.

"Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord."
