Good Morning! Have a Bless Day..... A while back I had a long conversation with a friend that had lost hope, faith, & everything else.... So today I want to tell you that... Depression is a real struggle for many people. For some it may be a season, and for others it may be a life long battle. See, I want to offer hope and I want to be real. I want to point you to Jesus and I want to cry with you in your pain. The conclusion I’ve come to is that we can do both. To use the word depression and Jesus in the same sentence seems cray cray. Some would say that they can’t exits at the same time....... They say If you love Jesus, you can’t be depressed. But that’s simply not true. The fact that they can and they do exist at the same time is the hope that I hold onto every single day. I grew up in a family that surrounded me with more love than I could have ever asked for. My mom would give me a goodnight kiss every night until I graduated high school. My dad was a huge support when I had to make major decisions in life. My sisters could make me laugh louder than anyone else. On the outside, I had it all together. And on the inside I was falling apart. Im about to tell you something Ive never told anyone, in the Fall of 2003 around my Birthday. My youngest Baby was born & I had nothing........ I was done!!! Done with life!!! I had it all planned. The pills were in their place, the letter written. I would slip away peacefully. I was ready but God wasn’t. Depression is feeling like all hope is lost. It’s crying a lot, It’s not thinking rationally, It’s forgetting to take care of my basic needs.... eating, sleeping. It’s not being able to communicate well. It’s the feeling that God is absent, that he has forgotten me and that life will never be “normal.” It’s thinking about death more than thinking about life. It’s ugly and messy. And there is no “easy” solution. There may never be an easy solution. I don’t know where you’re at. I don’t know the condition of your heart and mind. But I want to encourage you wherever you are, that God is there. With you! In you! For you! I want to remind you that I really do UNDERSTAND YOU.Mostly, I want you to know that there is great Hope found in the person of Jesus Christ. I can promise you is that He is here. Now at age 34 my life has changed.... I LOVE LIFE!!!!! God has showed me he will never forget about me... He has showed me that I have a purpose in life (still dont know all what it is).... Note... Im not perfect but I dont have that darkness in me any longer.. I dont let depression grab me & destroy my faith..... If you need any advice in anything & you feel just like I did in 2003.... I really do encourage you to go to Church or simply talked to God!!! You can even inbox me & I will help you get thru this Journey! LIFE IS GREAT!!! ENJOY!!!! YUH!!!
