verse I read today

[meh]

This was the verse in one of my daily devotional books.

Psalms 139:14 -- Thank you for making me so wonderfully complex! Your workmanship is marvelous -- and how well I know it. ​

This struck me quite hard, considering the bipolar I and we all deal with. I sat here and tried to find some way having bipolar is good. It has brought me closer to Christ than I probably would have been otherwise, as I have learned to just cast all my fears, doubts and pain to Him. He will help me shoulder the burden.

I also realized that if I didn't have bipolar and hadn't had many of the obstacles in my life because of it, I probably would have followed my first career dream and would have moved to California or NYC. I live in the midwest. If I had done that, I would have missed many years of living with my parents. My father died two years ago at age 58. He was my best friend. I adored him.

And today I am thrilled that God placed obstacles in my path. Had he not, I would have missed so much time with my father.​

Anyway. God is good. And today I am thanking Him for having a plan. I might not be smart enough to always figure it out. I might not see the plan the way He does. I may grumble and have bad days. But today I am thankful for God's plan, knowing if I listen and submit, He leads me right where I need to go.​

Just wanted to share that.​

Thanks so much for sharing! God is definitely good yes and my bipolar disorder has finally brought me back home and taught me that GOd does love me and not to run in fear of mistakes you make or fear of family....and to take your meds and be honest with docs and find people who are supportive and are into Jesus and focused on that first and foremost

love you sis

That's great stuff.

Because of my suffering recently, I have sought God more than since I was first a Christian 20 years ago.
