Sound Peace

I love nature. As a child of God with bipolar disorder, I love nature!!

For me, nature provides me a sense of peace that only God can give to me. I receive this sweet peace, in the Name of Jesus Christ!

~”I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.”~ John 16:33, NIV~

Being in nature reminds me of who I am, as a child of God with bipolar disorder. I am saved. I am healed. I am delivered. I am set free, in the Name of Jesus Christ.

Being in nature reminds me that I am more than an overcomer, especially in the moments of which I climb up a mountain. It reminds me that I have overcome all evil and every manner of wickedness in high places. The things which I cannot see are spiritual.

~”As we look not to the things that are seen but to the things that are unseen. For the things that are seen are transient, but the things that are unseen are eternal.”~2 Corinthians 4:18, ESV~

~”For the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh but have divine power to destroy strongholds.”~2 Corinthians 10:4, ESV~

Being in nature reminds me of who I am in my Creator and who my Creator says I am. When I look at a flower, I think to myself, “I am beautifully made, like this flower!”

When I look at a tree, I think to myself, “I am confident, in the Lord, because my confidence comes from Him!”

When I look at a river that is flowing, I think to myself, “I have peace of God in me, despite the stigma that I face surrounding my bipolar disorder diagnosis. Therefore, I AM says about me that, “I am at peace with God and myself.”

I am peace. I am at peace. I am at peace with God and myself. I have peace. I have peace with God and myself. The Lord is faithful!! Amen!

If you are planning to buy a copy of my book to be published, “A Victory Song: Beneath the Veil,” I encourage you to buy a copy once it is released in February 2022. Grace, peace, and blessings to you!

The Power of the Word

I am a child of God. I am a child of God with bipolar disorder.

I was diagnosed with bipolar disorder in my later adolescent years. I talk about this more extensively in my first book, “A Victory Song: Beneath the Veil.” While I viewed this as a curse in my life at first, the Lord turned it around and made this diagnosis a blessing.

~”But blessed is the one who trusts in the Lord, whose confidence is in him. They will be like a tree planted by the water that sends out its roots by the stream. It does not fear when heat comes; its leaves are always green. It has no worries in a year of drought and never fails to bear fruit.” ~Jeremiah 17:7-8, NIV~

My confidence, as a child of God with bipolar disorder, comes from the Lord. It does not come from man. It does not come from woman. It comes from Jesus Christ, as my Lord and Savior.

My confidence, as a child of God with bipolar disorder, comes from the Lord. It does not come from material things. It does not come from wealth. It comes from Jesus Christ, as my Lord and Savior.

My confidence, as a child of God with bipolar disorder, comes from the Lord. It does not come from books. It does not come from knowledge. It comes from Jesus Christ, as my Lord and Savior.

I have to keep telling myself these Words of promises from the Lord daily, as reminders to myself, that I am not just a woman diagnosed with bipolar disorder. I am a child of God with bipolar disorder. These words of power, from the Lord, remind me who I am in Christ Jesus: a child of God with bipolar disorder.

The more that I continue to remind myself of my identity in Christ, the more that I am reminded how my bipolar disorder diagnosis plays a role in my identity, not just as a child of God, BUT a child of God with bipolar disorder. These words of power, from the Lord, remind me who I am in Christ Jesus: a child of God with bipolar disorder.

When I remind myself who I am, as a child of God with bipolar disorder, I gain confidence in God and confidence in myself. I gain confidence in my identity in my bipolar disorder diagnosis and in my salvation power, which is of Christ the Lord. These words of power, from the Lord, remind me who I am and always will be: was, and is, and is to come until the day I reach eternity: a child of God with bipolar disorder.

~”For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.”~ 2 Timothy 1:7, KJV~

If you are planning to get a copy of my book to be published, “A Victory Song: Beneath the Veil,” you will be able to get it once it is released in February 2022. Grace and peace!

I Am New

I am new. I am a new creation in Christ Jesus, as a child of God with bipolar disorder.

~”Therefore if any manΒ beΒ in Christ,Β he isΒ a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.”~2 Corintihans 5:17, KJV~

As a child of God with bipolar disorder, I am talented. I am creative. I am destined for goodness and greatness through the power of the only Begotten Son of God, Jesus Christ. The Lord Jesus has granted me permission to enter and to walk into my calling and my destiny.

My calling and my destiny, as a child of God with bipolar disorder, is to write stories as an author. I am not just an author, who writes for my own healing: I write so that others may experience the healing power of God through His Son, Jesus Christ, as a result of my experiences through my stories.

My first book, “A Victory Song: Beneath the Veil,” will be published in February 2022. I am grateful to the Lord for the journey that His hand has taken me on so far in the publishing process of my first book. I have come so far on this journey, in the Name of Jesus Christ!

I remember when I was first searching for publishing companies to either publish or self-publish my book. I got many rejections from the publishing companies and other self-publishing companies (I am not going to mention the names of these self-publishing companies) that wanted to change the way that my story was written so as to change my testimony.

As I prayed, and prayed, and prayed, the Lord finally led me to Christian Faith Publishing to get my book self-published. I am really thankful to God for this new thing that He is allowing for me to birth, “A Victory Song: Beneath the Veil,” so that it will be published for the multitudes to read. Praise the Lord!

I am excited to see how the Lord will work through the multitudes of believers and nonbelievers once my book is published. If you have not heard of my first book or are contemplating if you should purchase a copy of my first book, “A Victory Song: Beneath the Veil,” I encourage you to purchase a copy once it is released in February 2022 so that my testimony can bring you healing, help, and hope. This is whether you battle a mental illness or if you are not battling a mental illness and are just curious to read my book!

As a child of God with bipolar disorder, I am a new creation in Christ Jesus. I am new.

A State of Humility

I am feeling inspired. I am feeling divinely inspired this new year of 2022!

As a child of God with bipolar disorder, I feel inspired to write to all of you today! God is faithful and His love me for is abundant for me yesterday, today, and forever!

~”Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.”~ Hebrews 13:8, ESV~

Jesus Christ, as my Lord and Savior, is the same God of my life that He was in 2021 that He is and is to come in 2022! The faith of the Lord is marvelous in my life, as a child of God with bipolar disorder! Yes and Amen!

I remember when I entered the year of 2021. It started out for me as a very hard and difficult year, filled with ups and downs in my emotions because of the change that God allowed for me to go through, as a child of God with bipolar disorder.

I went to a mental health hospital in 2021 and being there taught me, through the power of God, how to be the light and love of His Son, Jesus Christ, to the multitudes, including the mentally-ill and those without a mental illness.

Even though I have not been to another mental health hospital since the previous year of 2021, I still decree and declare the goodness of the Lord in life today!

Being in the mental health hospital allowed the Holy Spirit of God to position me in a state of humility. This is because I am just like every other person on this planet: in need of Jesus and in that moment of my life, I really needed Him!

I remember when I was in the mental health hospital. I was waiting for the mental health professional to come into the room so that he could make sure that I did not have Coronavirus ( I tested negative for Coronavirus during my stay at the mental health hospital, so I praise and thank God for that!)

The mental health professional gave me a hard look….it was not one of a cold look, but of a stern look through his narrow and beady eyes and told me, “You are just like everybody else,” before swabbing my nose for the Coronavirus test for the testing of Coronavirus.

When the mental health professional made that comment, it humbled me, the more that I thought about it. It also made me think about how good and gracious that God was working in my life at the time.

One year later, into 2022, God is STILL GOOD and STILL FAITHFUL!!

It is the times of faithfulness that really pull us to God and not away from Him, so as to humble us! So, with that said, how has God humbled you, whether you struggle with a mental illness or not? Please comment below and peace and blessings!
