Monsters...

Most people think monsters live under the bed. They believe they may be in the closet.

They may be in the woods near your house. They may be in the old rundown house.

But, that isn't necessarily true.

Monsters could live inside our around us.

I face the monster or depression. He tries and tries to bring me down and, sometimes he does. He tries to turn me into someone that I used to be, someone that hated communication. Someone that hated socializing. Someone that plan outright hated life.

I face the monster or regret. The one that makes me feel like I should regret not going to get Lezlie from school that day just to go eat, since I got off so early.

I face the monster of pride. The one that does not want me to ask for help when needed. The one that does not want me to talk about what has been bothering me or going on.

I face the monster of defeat. The one that regardless of when and what is going on, it makes me want to throw in the towel. This monster is not the same as the one of depression. He's far worse. He is the one that makes me want to slide to the bottom, and stay there. Not come out and maybe, not recuperate from any of this.

But, I can defeat these monsters. It is pretty easy to do. I know that eternity and Lezlie are waiting for me. I know that remaining strong in my Faith and believing that God can get me through the rest of this life, I can do anything.

Do not let the monsters bring you down. You can beat them. I know if I can, anyone else can too.

Luke 1:37 "Faith does not make things easy, it makes them possible."
