Man, when did i get like this. It seems im never really happy, i mean i have fun but at the end of the day, im not happy. And the worst part is, i have no idea why. Maybe because im just bored right now..or i miss the excitement of being in California, but i wish this feeling would go away. I want to be happy again. I used to find joy in the little things. These days joy is a mystery to me. I know this isn't a happy post but there is really nothing else going on in my life to write about, no funny thoughts, or interesting stories. Just me, looking, searching desperate to find ture happiness. Any suggestions on where i could get that??

Keisha,
I hope your Saturday was happy! You know there are many days where I am just tired and sad. When those days occur, I find that getting out and serving brings back the smile and the realization that God has a purpose for me and that joy makes God's joy your goal. So maybe tomorrow you can get up, give the day to the Lord, soak in the luxury of the sunbeams, and serve. :) You can always come visit too.

Amazing advice, Tal! Keisha, you have so many awesome people who love you! Maybe focusing on your blessings and making the decision to live a life of PRAISE is the answer. It's hard to be depressed and praise the God of the universe at the same time. Listen to music that reminds you of His greatness. Music is VERY powerful.....But I don't have to tell you that, do I? ;) I love you and know God has great things for you. Just be ready..............
I agree with both Tal and your mom. My only other advice is not to look for true happiness in people. People will always let you down and even though you may find happiness for a time in someone, that will only last for a season.
This is my prayer for you this week:
"And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God." (Romans 12:1)
Love you and call if you need someone to talk to. Or even better, come to visit... anytime!!!
Keisha, you are an amazing child of God, remember He did not promise a life of mountain tops. There will always be in your life the valleys, but God tells us we learn and depend on Him in the valleys. These days are when we have to pull up the boot straps and say "what will I do today to please my saviour". As your mom said sing praises, read Gods word, read a great book, call a friend, take a walk and remember This is the day the Lord has made and I will rejoice and be glad in it. This is my verse I say before I ever get out of bed knowing whatever my day brings the Lord has made my day even if it is sad, lonely, depressed, or happy I will praise HIM. I LOVE YOU and remember God loves you more.
Keisha,
I think true happiness comes from within, not in people, not in circumstances, not in if things are going my way or not...just being content with who you are and
where you are. One thing that helps me get out of my blue mood is thinking of less fortunate people than me. I start listing my blessings one by one and before I know it, I realize that I am blessed beyond measure. You don't ever have to look far to see people who are really hurting and have so little. God has blessed you with a fabulous family (if I do say so myself) and think about that new little one who will be here in December...a life you can touch and impact. He or she will be so fortunate to have you in their life. You are an incredible person who is loved by many...keeping pushing on and keep you eyes on the Lord and all the blessing he pours into your life daily! I love ya!
