My mom had a situation today that she was able to explain to us (the family) about. She was saying how she doubted God, and Heaven, and everything because of the deaths of some kids this past week and her mom dying. We must have talked for at least an hour and a half (gladly) trying to help her understand what that would mean, if those things didn't exist. For example, we had said, "What would be the point of Christ dying on the cross if there is no Heaven or Hell? It just wouldn't make since would it?". It was a wonderful discussion (not that her doubting that was good, but my family was able to minister to her and just basically shoved satan out of her mind. It was cool. My family is so cool, I love them so much! Oh, and for the first time, I was able to shove depression out of me in an instant! I was in the depression-mode while playing Phase 10 with my family, and just felt like I did many times before when I wasn't taking my meds. So in the middle of the game, I decided to get rid of it. I said I had to go to the bathroom, and once I closed the door, I prayed for God to help me look past the useless depression and just be my happy self. And sure enough, the moment I went back into the kitchen (where we were playing the game) it was gone, and I was joyous, and everyone noticed it! Which was an even better encouragement. After that was when we had the discussion with my mom. So hopefully everyone had a good day. Prayers and love, SSSLDD.
