Ben,
I understand what you've seen.....But sitting here telling us God can fix everything..I get mad sometimes cause I can't fix my mom. No one will ever really know what a vibrant woman she was before the stroke.....and as for me I deal with alot of internal hurting not to the point of hurting myself but to the point of trying to kill myself....I use to know a friend that would cut herself...I wanted to go to the authorities but it wouldn't have been right.....We all have to work things out in our own time.
People use to tell me when I was on the medicines that I didn't need it. To be honest the only thing they did do was make me feel like i was lying to myself. Admittly yes, No one really does listen to me here. But I am just trying to voice my opinion.
The only time I see to intervene anymore is when someone is trying to kill thereself.......Believe it or not I got in my car one day and decided to run into something. It got time to do and I straightforward asked God if my life ment something more than this He would stop me not me or anything like that.
For people like me, april, billy, and others....its not really by choice...it sometimes happens due to what happens in our lives. Your saying that you want to help me....In my mind if you've never been in my shoes or anything close to it....How can you help...How can you feel anything close to that.
God gave me the courage to forgive myself for what happened with my mom it took a while yes but eventually I did....God does help but sometimes we need others help from doctors and such...Its not wrong but its not ususally what would be helping on our own free will.
If I have offended you Ben I'm sorry this is just the way I feel. If you want to attack me for my views fine but its not a christian thing to do.
GBY,
Julie
