I have an older, wiser, seasoned Pentecostal friend, Verna. We talk everyday.
Anyway...she has a grand-daughter, lesley. She's 23 or 24. She's living in poverty, in another state, dealing with drug problems and what looks like Bipolar disorder. I dunno. When I hear Verna talk about it, it sounds like...she just gave up on life, I guess. I don't doubt that she's mentally ill, but Verna says she had jobs before (she doesn't now) and things actually got worse after she started going to psychiatrists, counselors, etc.
Last time I talked to Verna, lesley had checked herself into some kind of rehab and/or mental hospital place in NC (she's from GA). She'd cut herself again, and this time she'd hit an artery, so she was put in a hospital and then sent to the mental health place.
Its hard just for me to hear about it. I can relate to some of it, except (fortunately for lesley) the psychiatrists haven't pulled out the electroshock or anything like that on her (Praise God!!!!!!). I pray for her daily. I pray that Jesus will save her and she'll get on the right track before Verna leaves this world.
Please pray.
