Let My Lifesong Sing

I just wanted to let you all know that I am getting professional help.  I didn’t think I needed to for a while but the more time goes on the more I see I do.  I hope this helps me get ME back.  I have an appointment Tuesday.  I’ve never done anything like this before and I’ll be honest and say I’m nervous about it.  But I really feel it’s the right thing to do.  Chris and I both separatley have spoken with counselors provided by his work over the phone.  That helped us sort out a lot of feelings we are having.  And it also helped me see that I am depressed.  I have all the symtoms.  So I appreciate you guys being concerned and your prayers.  Just keeping you updated.

    You don’t know me from Adam so take everything with a big grain of salt. First I am a Christian. I am married to a wonderful godly woman who has taught we so much. We have six children. My wife is a little older now and she was diagnosed with depression. She now takes a lite dose of anti-depressant and she is a much calmer person. She is such a driven person always going and doing, her constant ramped up personality has a price to pay. I always have to tell her to slow down so she can hear that still small voice. Just be still. Psalm 23 He makes me lie down in green pastures. Some times God has to MAKE us lie down. Do you know what it’s like trying to make an animal lay down when it doesn’t want to? Go ahead and laugh, It’s very difficult!
    Do you recall when you were a kid and you’d get in trouble, mom would make you sit still, or like wait for dad to come home(tough one), or the killer Lie down and rest(aaargh!) God does the same thing, so do yourself a favor stop reading this comment and go find a quiet spot and talk to your Father, but keep in mind Jer. 33:3 Call unto me and I will answer you and show you Great and Wondrous things of which you know not. If you call He will answer. You don’t know everything either, there are GREAT and WONDROUS Things just waiting to be revealed to you!! Enjoy your time with Him you will not regret it. Ben

    Susan, I am so glad that you are getting the help that you need and deserve. No one should have to live like that and I’m thankful for the helping professions for being there to bring so many people through what once seemed like hopeless situations.

    I’m really sorry to hear that you and Chris are seperated. I hope this time will bring you closer together and help you to see each other in a new light. Maybe not the way you did before, as you are not those same people, but in a way that celebrates the true people that God created you to be. There is loveliness in spite of ourselves because of Christ.

    I’m even more sorry though of what happened to you on that horrible night. My heart goes out to you Susan. I wish I had better words to speak but I’m just at a loss. I will surely pray for you and your family in this healing process.

    Amy
