But right now I am stopping to pray. I wish I was with you to do it in person. <BR/><BR/>Gracious and Loving God, thank you for holding on to this precious girl/woman. <BR/><BR/>Please go back with her and heal the wounds caused by the atheist boy. <BR/><BR/>Wherever he is, speak to him too.<BR/><BR/>Give "Bad Alice" back the pieces of herself that went missing after that.<BR/><BR/>I pray the black crow flies away. Away. Away.<BR/><BR/>And may the day come when these experiences that are anything but "good" do become exactly that. I pray that you will use the bad things, as only you can, to bring glory to yourself and healing to others. In your good time, perhaps even allowing Alice to minister to others who "self medicate." She would not, I am sure, just teach them relaxation breathing or tell her own life story....ack. Use her to bring your light to others, however that is to be. <BR/><BR/>Amen<BR/><BR/>(((((((((Bad Alice))))))))))))))<BR/><BR/>You are Brave Alice, IMO.Dorcas (aka SingingOwl)https://www.blogger.com/profile/15626748280614018533noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15524211.post-1137282702659331092006-01-14T18:51:00.000-05:002006-01-14T18:51:00.000-05:00{{{{{{Alice}}}}}}I can hear you.

As dark and crap everything feels, He'll always be there...with open arms. No judgements, no expectations, no condemnation. He just loves us. And always will. Nothing you think, feel, believe or do can ever change that. And the thing that blows my mind? He walks <I>with </I>us. He WEEPS WITH US.

Her current meds are working just fine and no one would know to look at her that she suffers in this particular way. We've had lots of talks about this over the years but I've never really been able to understand (because depression seems to be a "you had to be there" kind of thing). But your description of the "Black Crow" nesting in your heart made so much sense. Thanks for sharing your journey. I hope you know you aren't alone. I'll be praying for you.Lorrainehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15130321823549477784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15524211.post-1136847889773387122006-01-09T18:04:00.000-05:002006-01-09T18:04:00.000-05:00Depression is such hell...No easy words or easy an...Depression is such hell...No easy words or easy answers, but lots of love and prayers heading your way.
