God certainly DOES love you and has a plan for your life! Have you been ministering to other people who suffer from depression? My best friend for last 40+ years has done alot of the things you spoke of.Her husband would call me "She's been in bed two weeks, Can you come get her out of the house? She isn't speaking to anyone here." I'd go get her and before long we'd be laughing. She was diagnosed Bipolar but the depressed side of it/ Thank you so much for sharing Sonya! Love and hugs! :) And congratulations on the weight loss! That's SO AWESOME! And you surely know how much your husband loves you, too!

Somehow I deleted it, so this one will be a short version. I've had depression all my life. My husband and I have been married 28 years. I became a Christian in 1989. A couple years after we married the depression got worst. Over the past 24 years I've been through so much. I was so depressed, I slept all the time, got up to just eat, few other things, then back to bed. I cried all the time. I saw Dr. and Psy. and was put on medication, nothing worked, have been hospitalized over those years about 20 times. I prayed religiously but God would not heal me. I had to keep changing Dr. due to insurance purposes. After so long of suffering from depression, being in the hospital's, medicine not working, I attempted suicide, they got me to the hospital in time. When I returned home, nothing changed. I was at my lowest, I saw God wasn't going to answer my prayers, I didn't want to live anymore. I attempted suicide 2or 3 more times. I know God wanted me on this earth for some reason. I still prayed religiously, still at my lowest, no only remaining depressed,etc, started having panic attacks. I hated myself and everybody so much. I started self cutting. I also during this time gained 100 pds. Had to change Dr. again. This Dr. put me on a medication, wouldn't change it but made me work through my problems. I learned to love myself, to forgive others, to love others, to quit living in the past and most important of all I think God wanted me to meet him halfway (I give God all the praise and Glory) A few days later i woke up and the depression was gone, I have such happiness, love myself, I've lost 120 pds. I haven't had an episode in about 5 years. My husband stood by my side through it all. God has really blessed me.S.Durrettnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7474271316278058173.post-83886580238954553142016-08-03T21:45:40.301-04:002016-08-03T21:45:40.301-04:00Hey craftyDR!

I know it's Him, whether I'm playing Farkle or Acquire or whatever...I just have His favor! tee hee hee I definitely believe you. Last month I was on a big boat for a month and every evening we played a dice game...the man who taught us called if Ten Thousand. I thought it should be called Ooops. But over the course of the trip, we played like 18 or 19 games and I won 10...others one once or twice - the guy who taught us, maybe 5, but I won TEN! God knows I really like to win :) tee hee hee He IS always there with you because He loves you so dearly! I know little things matter to Him! :) Caryl McAdoohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00392468033143238490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7474271316278058173.post-57395628175233351842016-08-03T21:33:51.396-04:002016-08-03T21:33:51.396-04:00OH that is so true, Jackie!

And I'll be praying for good reports from your tests tomorrow! I recently went to ER with chest pains and blood pressure like 48 over 20 or something (they said later that's like when you're dying, but I don't remember now what it was). Anyway they admitted me and kept me 3 days and ran a lot of tests and at my discharge the report was, "You have a strong and healthy heart, Mrs. McAdoo."

I like to play the games on Facebook like Candy Crush, and many others. When I do I am often talking to Him at the same time. Sometimes it is just because I love to talk to Him, other times it is because of something my husband will do or say or both that has me worked up and often crying. I am playing a game that I have been on for long I get frustrated and for whatever His reason is, I know without a doubt that he just helped me get through it. Now stop the laughing.<br />I thank Him and praise Him for doing what sometimes for months it seems that I couldn't do on my own.<br />Okay she is crazy you say,but laugh all you will, it is always when I upset about somethings or many things that this happens and I don't know what I am doing that He gets me through that level. It has happened in all the games I play. I know in my heart He did that because I am upset about something else. I give Him the Glory and praise His Holy Name, lifting Him up. Sometimes I ha e the radio on, my favorite Christian station and singing away as I am playing and talking to Him when this also occurs.<br /><br />I think He does this to help where I am hurting and to let me know He indeed is there helping with the small things even as silly as this is. Sometimes He sees me through several hard levels of the same game or many of the ones I play one after another.<br />I have health issues and can't go anywhere on my own much and I stay home all day not being able to do most of the things I loved to do, so I play these games. God is so good and loving that He helps in everything if admit you can't do anything without Him.<br />Thank you Lord for helping me in all things through Christ.craftydrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03194708187772228944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7474271316278058173.post-51285186591955441472016-08-03T00:50:51.707-04:002016-08-03T00:50:51.707-04:00God shows his love to me every day,in someway or o...God shows his love to me every day,in someway or other.From painting a beautiful sunset to a hug from a precious child.I am having health issues and go in the morning for tests,he showed his love to me today by helping me to drink the test prep liquid.Thank you Lord for your outpouring love.Jackie Tessnairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17818267366982296026noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7474271316278058173.post-13348489951618739042016-08-02T22:54:58.518-04:002016-08-02T22:54:58.518-04:00Amen and amen.

It's easy to see how she could believe the devil's lie that God doesn't really care, but He will bring her back into the fold, indeed. I'll join my prayers in agreement with your for her full restoration to His service. Having gone through what she's been through, she'll have a wonderful testimony and ministry to other widows. You can't know the horror until you've walked through it :( Thank you for sharing!

It's so hard when we see people we love so much to not be walking with God...from where we are standing, we know how easy it is, but I think the devil lies to them and they believe his lies that they're not good enough or they've been too bad. If they could only grasp NONE of us are good enough and we've ALL been too bad! Hallelujah. I join you in agreement prayers for your loved one! :) Hugs and thanks for sharing! :)<br /> Caryl McAdoohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00392468033143238490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7474271316278058173.post-12623626952740459042016-08-02T22:42:48.561-04:002016-08-02T22:42:48.561-04:00Amen!

She is a lukewarm- no church-believer although she was raised in the faith. Last Sunday she attended a church with us not 5 minutes from her home.

I went to the ER and they discovered I was becoming septic due to an abscess in my kidney. I never had any symptoms at all until the fever hit me.<br /><br />I live alone but through the Grace of God I had a friend visiting when the fever attacked me so suddenly. She was able to call 911 and speak for me when they showed up. <br /><br />I praise God for our medical professionals who can diagnose my medical problem. <br /><br />This has taught me that each second of our life is in God's hands. We may think every thing is fine but God is busy protecting us constantly. Praise God for His loving protection.
