Hi Melinda – you might remember the correspondence about me wanting to buy your book, but being in BC, Canada and no store having it on their supplier list. However, just wanted to say that I didn’t get your book for me personally, but I asked the Burnaby public library to get a copy and they got 2 copies for 2 different libraries in their system! I’ve read through most of your book and thank you so much for writing it. May this booklet be used to help many who are in need of such healing.

My point wasn’t about not ever going to someone else. It was to go to God before you go to another human. Ask for discernment. God uses people all the time to help others I’m not an expert. I can only speak from my own experience. I know it’s hard to ask for help. When I’ve gone to counseling, I had to remind myself how I felt after the appt. Always better. I’m a venter. I have to talk it out. It’s how I process things. And finding the right person who can point you in the right direction of healing can be a challenge. Your first few visits won’t be easy but it gets better. But if you really feel like it’s a bad match, keep looking until you feel comfortable. It takes time.

I am so confused.
In many of your posts you suggest going to counseling or asking someone to pray or talk to you.
I was supposed to call the church about counseling yesterday but I could not do it. I just don’t even want to try, call the church and talk to them, call the number they give me, try to find a time that will work for an appt., going to the appts. It is such a struggle! I have quit going to counseling every time. And so here I am; no better. Read your bible and pray. Well, Okay I did read my bible and I did pray and then I got mad. and then when I had decided I wasn’t going to call him, because I don’t think he wants to talk to me because I can’t imagine why anyone would I drank. at least that helped with the panic attacks and I got some sleep.
Reading back over all of this today, I think I trust my brother more than I trust God. I think it’s possible he would still want me to call him. I don’t think I will have the bad thoughts when I talk to him, I never have. So if I have to get to God by going through my brother for a while? Until I can figure out how to get there on my own? Then I should do that, or call the church or maybe both.

I love your quote Mel.. Why is it hard to be a good person? Even how hard we try to do good, we can’t, just can’t. I was hit buy this line, “I want to point to Jesus,sometimes I stab at others”.

Oh Amy, my heart aches for you. I will be praying for you. It’s very hard to break away from our past. Satan will keep you there for as long as he can. Tell your fears to God. My friend and I have been talking about this, how we run to people first when something happens instead of going to God first. For some of us, it can take a lot of practice to call God instead of picking up the phone and calling a friend when something goes wrong. Hang in there. If you are seeking Him, He won’t let you down.

Comment on Depression by Chuidian

I was very interested in your writing about how you felt with your depression. My husband has it also and it is very hard to deal with sometimes. I know how hard it is for the person with depression to get along, but no one thinks about the people who love the person who is depressed.

I have taken ‘intention ‘ as my word for 2012. I use ‘intention’ in my meditation.
