Hi Angel, I have suffered all my life, of course I had a terrible childhood. I will tell you about it, not to be felt sorry for, but to show you what maybe others have been through. I was born to a blind mother, my dad died when I was 9 months old. I was put in an orphanage for a while, then my uncle took me for about 5 years. Then my aunt and uncle got a divorce and I went to live with my Grandmother. Lived there for about 9 months. Meantime my blind mother remarried. I went to live there then with my mother and her husband. they were very very poor.. 8 of us,(I had brothers and sisters) lived in a two room apartment. my bed was two chairs put together. The food they ate was slop. I would gag on it. and if I did not eat it, they would rub my face in it and make me eat it any way. The would put a bowl on my head and cut my hair and send me to school and laugh about it. They would lock me in the closet and scare me till I would beg them to let me out. One summer they wrote kick me on my back with an ink pen and sent me to the store. Even the black community felt sorry for me. It just so happened that my Grandmother came to visit that day and seen the writing on my back and took me out of there. I went back to live with my uncle, he remarried. I was so miserable there I was going to drink some poison (ammonia) but the smell of it almost knocked me out. I ran away, but was taken back.. This went on most of my life. I had older brothers and sisters, but they were not concerned about me. They did not want to be bothered. I was homeless and slept out side for almost a year. Some of this might even be humorous...........unless it happens to you. But through all of this and (much more), I manage to graduate from High School, trade school, some college, a career in Environmental Science. Get married, raise two children in the Lord. But I still suffered from depression of which I take medicine for.........But this I know, no matter how depression makes me sad or anxious and worthless, Jesus is sure and true to His promise to me and you.
Hi Angel, When I posted you about my life perils, I did not mean to give the impression that what was accomplished was by my will and power to overcome, it was The Lord. I did not realize it at the time, but as I looked back, I do not know how I would have ever survived with out the Lord's intervention. Even when I gave up on asking for the Lord's help, He was right there with me. As I have heard another pastor say, "The Lord does not always come when I call Him.........But He is always on time. And He is Ready, "when it is time", to take my Soul and keep it.
Two things: Depression has just recently been recognized as a treatable and real aliment in about the last 30 years. And the other thing is, in spite of what the enemy would like you not to believe,that our country, up and around the Vietnam War era, was on a biblical and moral foundation. Since then, our country's moral code has been eroding to the point that our government is representing Satan (really!), not it's citizens, and even worse, citizens who claim they are Christians are voting in certified corrupt and evil candidates, knowing what they are.
