...thanks only to Jesus. Yesss!
9 years ago around this time, I was in a mental hospital. I didn't know it, but they did involuntary ECT when I should have had my stomach pumped. Kinda fried my brain, just a little, lol. Seriously. When I slept, I did not dream. My memories were gone. My eyes were dead for a few years. My hair, thinned from too much hair dye and stress, started falling out in clumps.
And now...9 years later, 1ish year post-repentance...
...my memories have returned, despite a second round of involuntary ECT at 23. I thought shrinks hated me, personally; turns out, this is how they treat poor people who "don't know their place." My parents hired me an attorney last year, a good one at that, and now people around here have to leave me alone. I'm surprisingly well-preserved. My hair is thicker than it was when I was a teenager. My eyes are bright. And...
...SCHOOL! I have exactly 69 usable credits towards a 120 credit hour degree at Liberty. In 3 semester (online, that means about 1 calendar year), I can have a 4 year degree. Yes!
.,..EXERCISE! Jesus woke me up from what can only be described as a hazy, semi-vegetative stupor. I'm alive and well, and its time to work out. I'm getting on it, lol.
....CHURCH! I'm not actively church shopping, but I'm researching Pentecostal churches nearby so I can find one that'll suit me and hopefully my parents.
Its been a rough road. Joel 2:25 has long been one of my favorite Bible verses. "I will repay for the years the locusts have eaten." So true. Its happening, right now, in my life and the lives of Born Again Christians all over the place.

It's so good to disassociate from the past to be able to enjoy the presence of our eternal future. Thank you Jesus for our brother Christ_empowered for he truly is finding that he is Christ empowered.
