We can trust God to help us through our difficulties:
The only temptations that you have are the same temptations that all people have. But you can trust God. He will not let you be tempted more than you can bear. But when you are tempted, God will also give you a way to escape that temptation. Then you will be able to endure it.
If I'm being honest, there are times in recent days when I question, I truly do. Other times when I don't, and then I feel guilt as though I have sinned against my parent and offer up profuse prayers and apologies.
Battling with depression, battling to leave Canada (and struggling to do so) often leads to frustration (and occasionally blasphemous comments then quick apologies, and prayers) so that the past two weeks are a real struggle.
Hopefully though, things will start to cheer up in March, I mean it is Dragon-Month, I've got a rapidly growing Substack, and have a Japanese company (and 3 Korean ones) with an interest in me. I also have begun a correspondance once more, with my Japanese-history professor (who is from Ireland) and discovered he is a passionate Irish history & fantasy nerd also.
So I am blessed, I just struggle with waiting to get back to Japan, and living temporarily apart from my gf.
I'll think about it, as it is I'm about to be out all week (visiting a friend in the US of A), I'll consider it maybe after the trip as my hope is to also take a week off from the internet (except to post hereon Substack and run the usual events).
Today I asked myself: Who lives behind those eyes?
I discovered that there's so much about me that I don't know, and it showed me that there's so much about others that I don't know either.
Are we all familiar strangers?
So much more!

Wonderful commentary as usual, thank you

If you need to talk more let me know, I wouldn’t mind at all!

I truly appreciate it Alexander.

Good morning. Blessed for I see the sun coming up.
Romans 8:28 NLT
“ And we know that God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to his purpose for them.”
Everything we do is a stepping stone to the next destiny.
100%!
A lot of the time it’s like this, for sure.
