Bipolar, but still Christian : Just Another Challege

I know I have said it before thus the weird title. Today and yesterday I was really discouraged about something. I spoke to a friend and she really gave me a boost. When Elijah was discouraged and thought he was the only prophet left, God reminded him how wrong he was. I feel like that friend was my reminder today that God is still in control and I am not alone. I can stand up for what is right and whatever happens, it will be okay. Maybe things won't end the way I want them to, but I can trust God to help me keep on going.

Today is my youngest son's birthday. His birth was much less traumatic than his older brother's. He was the best baby. I would put him in his crib and he would just coo and talk to himself until he got sleepy. He hardly ever cried. He did pull down the curtains in his room and I had to remove most of the bedding from his crib. He is our destroyer. He is also the family ham. You know, the child that puts underwear on his head until he gets a reaction. Of course if you asked him that now, he would deny it. He doesn't like to be called out on his silly behavior. But do any of us really? I think we have managed to give him enough healthy attention that he won't be permanently warped. This is the boy who usually will give me hugs. I will miss that. The little boy is going away. I am thankful for him and I pray that I will have the wisdom to help him mature.
