I've been a little down today. I've been in one of those moods where it just felt like noone cared. But as I was praying tonight with the kids, I could hardly get the words out to pray. My heart is just so heavy and all I wanted to do was cry. I really don't know what is the matter. Did you ever get those days where you just felt like you were all alone in this world and no matter what you did to please everyone they still treated you like you were nothing. I get so tired sometimes. I feel like I'm always pleasing everyone else and then they step on me and act like I'm not even there. The more I do, the worse I get treated. It hurts. I was reading the Bible after prayer and I read
1 Chronicles 16:8-12
8. Give thanks unto the Lord, call upon his name, make known his deeds among the people.
9. Sing unto him, sing psalms unto him, talk ye of all his wondrous works.
10. Glory ye in his holy name: let the heart of them rejoice that seek the Lord.
11. Seek the Lord and his strength, seek his face continually.
12. Remember his marvellous works that he hath done, his wonders, and the judgements of his mouth.
After I read this, I know that the Lord is there even when I feel like this. I just need to seek him and call upon His name and He will give me strength. I really need his strength right now. The devil is fighting me hard. I feel like I'm getting closer to the Lord and the devil don't like it at all. Please remember me and my family in your prayers. Thanks

Hey, Crazy Girl. What time of the month is it? I found out several years ago (thanks to my husband pointing it out) that when I was feeling blue, downcast, discouraged, hopeless and was certain the sun would NEVER shine again and there was just NO HOPE for ANYTHING, it was almost always PMS plagueing me. For me, it would be 7 to 10 days before my cycle started. Some women face their PMS time DURING their cycle. Whatever body type the woman has, if she has any trouble with PMS (some don't--lucky dogs!), then is when they feel discouraged and like nothing's working, nobody loves then and nobody cares what you're going through. Once I would realize that PMS was the culprit I could immediately sense some hope. I would tell myself to just hang in there for a few days and see if I didn't feel better. I almost always felt better. In fact, I would START feeling better just realizing what time of month it was! We women face challenges men will never know about. I am forever thankful to God for giving me a man who seems to understand my mood swings even better than I do. Or, at least he did until I started through menopause. Now THAT's a whole OTHER issue. *cringing* But God is even greater than menopause and He can give victory for EVERYTHING. He promised He'd never leave nor forsake you. Hang in there, girl. This, too, shall pass.
BTW, just for the record, I love you.
Boy, can I relate! I'll add a little to what Sister Smith has already said...large doses of constant STRESS can also cause those feelings because it wears you out physically, emotionally and wears on you spiritually. Get your rest (lots of sleep and quiet time with God) and take care of yourself, because if you don't, you won't be able to take care of anyone else. Check for the PMS times and examine your life to see if you have been dealing with extreme stress...one or both may be the problem. Once you know what you are dealing with...the mountain doesn't seem so big anymore. *wink* BTW...I love ya too and I'm praying that God will get you through this!
we wuv you Kristal!
Uh, hello, . . . Dr. Smith here. I prescribe an established regimen of blog posting. It's certain to restore good health and well being. I know it's a big pill to swallow, but the results will be worth it.
(My bill will be forthcoming)
I promise to blog soon. I am the Assistant Editor of the Alabama Evening Light and I've got to do it this week. I'll try to find time soon.
I am feeling much better though. Thanks for everyone's prayers.
