God is God and I am not - Steven Curtis Chapman

 I need to address one of the wild delusions I had while I was off my meds.

I thought I was Jesus. Then I thought I was Holy Ghost.

THEN I thought I was their child.

Here is the obvious truth: I'm not God, not even A god.

Obvious, I know.

Some of you saw the videos I made when I was delusional. 

If you haven't, please DON'T. It's embarrassing. 

In the end, I have the Holy Ghost within me, but I'm not Him. Every Christian has the Holy Ghost within them. It happens when you accept Jesus as Lord and Savior. God is Three Persons in One: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Ghost. 

So, Jesus is "God with us". The Holy Ghost is "God within us". The Father is "God around us".

And me? I'm plain old Lydia, who KNOWS Him. 

Slowly but surely, God gently brought me out of my delusions and placed me in reality. 

This is a reality:

As a Christian, I am a daughter of the King. We all know this. I am a child of God. Adopted though the blood of Jesus Christ. No, this is not a delusion. Ask any Bible believing Christian or look it up: 


Washed by the blood of the Lamb. 

 Revelation 7:14

Revelation 12:11


Brought into the Kingdom of light:

10so that you will walk in a manner worthy of the Lord, to please Him in all respects, bearing fruit in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God; 11strengthened with all power, according to His glorious might, for the attaining of all steadfastness and patience; joyously 12giving thanks to the Father, who has qualified us to share in the inheritance of the saints in Light.

The Incomparable Christ

      13For He rescued us from the domain of darkness, and transferred us to the kingdom of His beloved Son, 14in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins.

Colossians 1:10-13


Because you are his sons, God sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, the Spirit who calls out, “Abba, Father.”

Galatians 4:6


I am grateful to be God's child though Jesus Christ.

Thank you, Father, Son, and Spirit for not striking me death for blasphemy.

Joy Ride

Image
          The past two months have been like a Joy Ride. Not that I've ever been on one. Lol. I'm a good girl. Right, you say. Well, I used to be. Not anymore. Now, I'm a Joy Girl. This is a relatable story about how you can be a Joy Girl too.      I was doped up on prescribed medications for years. I didn't know how bad it was because I felt so numb inside.       My life was boring when I was "stable". In recent years, while I was "stable" from my chemical imbalance, labeled "bipolar I and II", I would make my bed and light a candle on my days off. I had little interest in doing anything. The highlight of my day off was doing laundry, because that made me feel good about myself. My favorite thing to do was go to the mall, where I'd use my free item Bath and Body Works coupons. That was my life.       Before I was medicated, I'd self-medicate on physical intimacy. That was slavery. I was chained to phys...

First Date

Image
    My  first date with Bran was at Denny's at 11:45 PM, give or take 30 minutes. He was dragging his feet and therefore was running late. We were supposed to meet at 11 pm, after I finished closing the store.      I had met him earlier that day, for the second time in my life. Rewind five months, Bran introduced himself to me at my Register.       I'm a cashier. I've been in Retail since 2021, working various jobs because of my ADHD.       Back to the point, he shared his life story and left. That was when I had just started my new job at Dollar Tree in January. I didn't see him again until the middle of May.       I had literally prayed for a date, and God answered. I was ready to "replace" my ex-husband of five years. I just could not get over my ex-husband. Nothing worked! We were married for five years and now we are going on five and a half years of divorce. It's been over ten years since I h...

Forgiven and moving forward

Image
       The past will never be forgotten, but God has forgiven me, and I hope my exes have too.       I forgive them for their part and have asked to be forgiven for my part.       Multiple times. I have lots of guilt for what I've done.       But now I am moving forward, making friends and cutting pathways with God's help.       God has told me to take a break from romance.  To "chill" and "Cool my jets".  And I will listen. I will obey.  You Know Better - Mercy Me                                                                                     (I do not own this video) Yours truly, Lydia Joy
