It sometimes seems hard to trudge to work each day. Some jobs are not all that fun to go to. I was a very lucky man and worked as a teacher. The rewards were much brighter than the dark days of winter when I had to drive to work in the snow.

I did have those days when I wondered if I really wanted to get up and go to work. Then I would see a garbage man loading up someone’s garbage on a very raining day and the wind was blowing.

Sure I was going to a school where there are kids yelling and needing control, but to be out in the cold and shivering in a job that not many people would want to have made me glad to see the kids coming into my class. Besides, they always warmed me up with their smiling faces.

Do you have a kind of job that you wish you didn’t have? Do you drag yourself out of bed and force yourself to get ready? You aren’t alone. There are millions of people just like you. Off to work. Work hard all day. Come home, too tired to do anything but eat dinner and go to bed. Sound familiar?

God uses people in what ever job they may have. He doesn’t care if you dig ditches, or are a CEO for a huge business. He uses the meek, poor, rich, ordinary people of this earth.

What ever your lot is on life, God can use you. He will guide you to do far more wonderful things than you could ever imagine, if you just let Him.

Remember:

You are never alone.

You are never forsaken.

You are never unloved.

And above all…never, ever, give up!

The suicide of Robin Williams wakes us up again to the dangers of depression. My new book coming out soon, Signs of Hope for the Military, concentrates on helping the soldiers with their depression. We need more books and resources to reach out to those who suffer anxiety, fear, depression, self-doubt, and the many other usual suspects.

There are far too many young people, on this hotel called earth, that go that drastic next step to end their pain.

I know a great deal about this because I have been there. I was breathing my last breaths in 2001. I was sitting in my Ford explorer, and contemplating suicide.

I finally cried out to God, “I can’t take this anymore!”  At that moment I felt such a relief, and it seemed God was saying to me, “It is about time you came back to me. Now let me carry you the rest of the way.”

God saved my life that day, and He then lead me to write my first book, Signs of Hope: Ways to Survive in an Unfriendly World. The book was awarded over twenty 5 star reviews, and won a national award from the Reader’s Favorite Awards. 

If you or someone you know is dealing with depression, please check out the bookstore at the top of this page, and see information about the book, Signs of Hope: Ways to Survive in an Unfriendly World. I am not seeking a lot of money from this. I just want to help as many people as I can. Please tell others about the book if you like it.

How you doing? Do you seem to have more dark days than sunshine in your life? Are you floundering in the muck and mire? You aren’t alone, over 19 million people in the United States alone suffer from from depression type symptoms.

Satan loves to torment people and give them pain and suffering. Fight back. Hit Satan in the face, and tell him he is grass and you are a lawn mower. Don’t let him put you up on his trophy wall.

Get help and read as many books as you can that share how to cope in this not so friendly world, like, Signs of Hope: Ways to Survive in an Unfriendly World, does.

Remember:

You are never alone.

You are never forsaken.

You are never unloved.

And above all…never, ever, give up!

I have found that we won’t achieve much if we listen to negative people. I almost stopped writing a couple of times because of people telling me that I was going no where and that I was wasting my time. I didn’t listen and my first book not only got published, it received a national award from the Reader’s Favorite Awards, and was runner up in a contest that was like American Idol but it was for writers.

That got me on the right track to ignore the negatives and listen to the positives. There is a chapter in my first book called, “Worry is the Dark Room Where negatives are developed.” I spend a lot of time in that chapter telling people they have self worth and should never let others dictate their lives. It is one of my favorite chapters.

You can take a look at this book by clicking on the bookstore tab above. You will see that we are having trouble with our ordering process, but you can got to http://www.dailysignsofhope.com and order from the bookstore there. That is my blog.

You can do so much when you believe in yourself. Don’t ever think you are alone, and forgotten. God knows about you. You are written in His book. He created you in His own image, so if He would goes that far you can bet your bottom dollar He will be there to protect you, and guide you on to mighty things.

Remember:

You are never alone.

You are never forsaken.

You are never unloved.

And above all…never, ever, give up!
