Going and Growing vs Drying and Dying

Welcome Pattern Realm

     Indeed it has been a few days since I have written to you but I must impart to you what has been hidden deep in the soil of my mind for the past couple of weeks a gym that has come through some coaching by a mentor of mine bubba name of the Coach Presley Swaggerty.  He said "your team is either going and growing or it is drying and dying.". Thus if we can assume the hypothesis of the coach about a team the same thing can be applied to us ourselves.

     We personally are either going and growing or drying sighing and dying.

      The Saturday of Labor Day weekend I came home from watching virtually and impact convention of my team.  The speeches that impacted me the most were the speeches by my mentor Presley Swaggerty and another keynote speaker by the name of Nick Voijicic who had no arms.  I thought to myself if he can become a multi millionaire and go around preaching the gospel with no arms I can do the same thing with limited sight.

     But then something happened  Tuesday afternoon and Wednesday night as I tripped slipped and fell into a deep depression.  Satan the adversary was feeding me plenty of lies about how I didn't belong and it because I was blind I was the child my father didn't want.  I began to think that there was no place for me here in West Texas.

     Things came to a head Friday night when my sister confronted me about my mental illness and I thought to myself if I'm no better by Saturday afternoon I'm going to the hospital.

     When I woke up Saturday morning and went to the training I thought my depression would would be better however it returned with a vengeance but this time my business partner was there to see what was going on.  

     She suggested that I put on some praise music and so what would I reach for I reached for the hymns of Zion in the Church of Jesus Christ of latter-day saints sung by the Tabernacle Choir at Temple Square.

     By Sunday morning my depression was still there but I begin to come to my senses and realize that part of what could have fixed my mindset it's if I was more proactive about it.  I took notice some of the things that I fell off from doing and vowed to fix it.  Church was the big shot in the arm I needed.

     Sunday afternoon the depression kept lingering on but then I started going back for more training and that's when I realized my why needed expanding it tried to return again Monday but this time I wouldn't listen because I realize now that instead of drawing sighing and dying I needed to instead grow and go so that I can develop a team to do the same 

     Monday afternoon Satan tempted me again by saying that I was the child My biological father never wanted but I told him to shut up because a new man Heavenly Father left me and wanted me.

      We may at times if you're loneliness and depression and if you're going through that I empathize with you and love you and care about you.  But I care enough about you to let you know that you can rise above this with a little push I help to achieve your dreams.  You see you are made in the image of God and two-thirds of God is Go!

     With his help you can do this and I trust you and I believe in you to do that.  Please be about going and growing so that you're not drying sighing and dying please.  I want you all to succeed

In Christ
