I'm confronted with a situation. I wonder about what people did in the past when they got sick. What did they do when they became depressed. What did they do? I'm sure that many found comfort in their faith and prayed. I wonder if their families helped them or just gave up on them.
I know that I've found that my family just wants me well. Not for my sake as much as for their own. "I don't like seeing you like this." I don't like it that you are so unhappy. I think that the pressure can send one to the first remedy available without trying to find the reason behind the feelings of loss and sadness.
One of my friends talked about the fact that depression stems from anger. Probably repressed anger. I know that there is a root cause for everything. What I must decide is to get the quick fix or to take the other less traveled route.

You will be suckled, carried on her hip and fondled in her lap. As a mother comforts a child, so I will comfort you... Isaiah 66: 12-13
About Me
- Lou Ann
- September 13, 1953 was the beginning of my experiences. Most of my earliest memories are filled with hot sunshine, popsicles, large bottles of soda, learning to ride a white and pink Schwinn bicycle. Pretty summer short outfits. Sharing absolutely everything with my brothers and sisters. Time, clothes, candy, knowledge, forgiveness, and a bed until at nineteen I left my home to make another home for myself, my husband and a little girl who would be named Melanie. Two more beautiful daughters, Carrie and Stephanie Lia would soon follow. In turn, God would bless us with eleven grandchildren. I hope that this faith journey will encourage our children to seek always to do the will of the Father lead by the Holy Spirit into a relationship with Jesus, His son. This legacy was given to my mother by my grandmother and it is the only legacy I would ever dream of leaving for my own.
