God is truly merciful. Today has been better than all the previous days. Today as I opened God's word I felt an awakening in both my spirit and mind.

My energy is coming back. I am able to get up. Depression robs the mind, body and spirit. I trust the Lord and yet I still struggle to let go. Why? I am progressing though.

Jude 21 says "Keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life." KJV

I rest in Him.

The Marines, as I stated in a previous post has a website that has a lot of infomation and really takes delving into to benefit from all the material on it.

I found this on the website and found it noteworthy.
