Felicity,

That is so true! Many of us lose days, weeks, months, and years fighting God when if we would just believe that He is working things to our own good...we would be happier and stress free!

Have a blessed evening...I am going to bed and dream about the great things God is going to do in my life this year!

Love & Blessings, Rhoni

I don't doubt this at all, but maybe things could have been unbelievably awesome instead of just good.

I'm not one to promote drugs at all, but if your mind was altered anyway (because of depression), then what you are saying doesn't hold up.

Along with your stubbornness is a bit of pride too (lol).
Nothing wrong with saying you were down and who knows how things "could have been" had you done something differently. It might not have lasted so long.

You don't understand and I'm not going into it.

My life has been awesome in spite of some great difficulty over the past several years. . Problems, stress, going through tough things is part of life. Nobody is going to live all their life without going through hard things.

My testimony is that God has kept me, spared me, helped me, strengthened me, encouraged me, counseled me, and gave me the enablement to carry out His purpose for my life and all that went with it. I carried out my duties and responsibilities and I did it well while it was necessary.

I don't and you don't have to.

Then Chancellor knocks what I do as [secular humanism-doctrine of the devils],; then Coonskinner tries to butt in before I am finished to tell everyone I have a problem with church leadership, then Suiggy pats him on the back and then we get some others posting and the thread isn't what is started out being.

I am tired too. I have considered not posting and getting off the forum...I am working up the fortitude to do that. I have tried hard to minister to a segment of people in our churches who need what I have to say...and I get tired of fighting the battle...

The only one who knows how tired I am is concerned about me and tried her best to help me up...but I know that it is between Jesus and I. I will make the right choice because God is with me.

I am sorry this thread depresses you...it was more meant to help those who may be depressed...anyway...I am sorry that you feel this way.

Sincerely, Rhoni

Rhoni and others. I was asking for your real advice on the entire forum, of which is this website. Not your Thread which is your advice Thread. I enjoy reading all the things you have to say.

So let me word it this way.

I am I getting so depressed reading all the post's and threads on this website?

It just seems like folks are bashing each other.

Just looking to get cheered up!

Nathan .......

Actually the posting that's happening on this forum is pretty easy going compared to some I've seen on the forums that preceded this one. Namely FCF and nFCF. In my opinion the posting here on AFF has been pretty mellow and laid back comparatively speaking. And I have to say that some of the posting happening here right now is some of the best I've seen for quite awhile.

Maybe you just need to take a break - do some reading or whatever. One thing's for sure. Posting here will never take the place of the satisfaction and the lift you get from being in the presence of God and in His Word.

But there is encouragement, fun, laughter, camaraderie of sorts and the "iron sharpening iron" effect to be had if you join in or even just read.

I've laughed out loud at some of the things posted here this evening. Don't lose your sense of humour!
