As I began to write my current book about my encounter with depression, I found out that a lot of women, especially Christian women, were suffering from some sort of hurt. A deep wound of some sort and it astonished me.
But why are we hurting, when we have the victory in Jesus? Why are we walking around with a smile on our faces and inside we are broke, busted, and disgusted? I believe it begins with going back to the basics of who we are and what we believe.
Do you remember the child-like faith you had when you first became a Christian? How you depended on God for everything? We have gotten so systematic in our worship that we stray away from asking God to enter into our lives. We can’t walk this road of life without Him and yet in still we try to and fail and end up depressed like I did.
My book takes you through my place of depression, the self-discovery of how I ended up there, and the healing that God gave me. I was grateful for just being healed and then God did one other thing, showed me the true purpose of my life.
Living out my true destiny has been the best thing I have ever experienced! I feel like I am truly living now! Get back to the basics of your journey with God and see what He will do for you.
