Journaling means I am NOT depressed

I need to go to bed and get to sleep early because I go to work at 5:30 in the A.M. But I want to journal while I have the opportunity. I am not at home again. Second night in a row. But it is okay. I am safe and that is what is important. I wrote in the journal that me and my buddy from Florida share today. Several pages. And that is a good thing. You see, lately when I am depressed I quit writing. So, even though the situation at home is not good, I know depression is not overwhelming me as it usually does. I won't write anymore when I am depressed. I just can't seem to put pencil to paper. And not writing makes me even more depressed. So, it is a good thing that I am writing. I must write to combat depression. I must write to keep from being depressed. I must write because I am depressed. Writing is my way of keeping things together. And when I am writing I can focus better and spend time with the Lord through the written word. I write to God. I write about God. I write to be near to God. I write because that is who I am. The real me is in those journals. And later I can reread the entries and see how the Lord was victorious in the battles I have with depression. So, a short entry but an entry nonetheless. And I am NOT depressed because I am journaling. Praise the Lord for journaling.
