K, I wanted to say I am glad your party was a hit.

I always feel good about a new month. I arranged in my head things I hope to accomplish in June, God willing.

I pray that whatever you put your hand to do, God will prosper it! Have a great Sunday, all.

JESUS, JESUS, JESUS! Just had to say that. And, of course, good morning! LT :-)

Good morning, LT. How are you? Did you just say, JESUS, JESUS, JESUS? It sure is our all time favorite greeting. I think I better say it too.

JESUS, JESUS, JESUS!

What you you have planned for the day?

JESUS, JESUS, JESUS!!! mornin' all. this is the day that the Lord has made. let us rejoice and be glad in it!!!

See what you started, Cinder!

hello everyone. i hope you dont mind if i share a bugaboo i've got going on with my church right now.

i havent been feelling so great, mentally and emotionally. i am feeling overwhelmed and unable to keep up with my life responsibilities. i know its another way the depression affects me. i also know it has to do with my daughter graduating later this month and all the changes that milestone means for me. it's like watching the earthquake come on, slowly.

so i tend to drop out of sight when things get sticky for me. i call it my 'madwoman in the attack' time. and what bugs me is no one from church calls me. no one from church comes to see if i am okay. they all just keep their distance.

it makes me angry. and it makes me feel like i am not worthy of love. it makes me wonder if i had cancer, for example, or a daughter who was just sentenced to prison, for example, if someone would check in on me. cos no one does. they just leave me hanging.

people do not understand mental illness. people do not understand the healing power of kindness and love. i am not a monster. no one reaches out to me.

we had a church picnic today. i had told them i was going. but no one offered me a ride and no one checked to see if i was okay when i didnt go to church today. are they assuming i have to ask for help every time i need it? what if i dont feel worthy of help? what if i am all tangled up in my mind and just cant reach out to them. i would have thought they understood by now. after all this time. it makes me feel like i dont matter. that what i struggle with is not important.

i needed to unload that. thanks for listening.

RosieBear, this is me reaching out to you. This is the BIGGEST (((HUGGGG))) that I have all the way from California. I wish I lived close so we could go to the picnic together. Or better yet, you could come to my church and we would join in fellowship together. Be Good To You, dear heart. Know that He loves you and understands you and you are a blessed daughter of God. Always your friend, Kelli
