I felt like it could've been telling my story. The verse that says, "Faith is knowing that God sees all my hurt/and He won't waste it, He'll allow it to give birth/to depth and compassion and a stirring in my soul/ with God nothing's impossible" <br /><br />As I mentioned before I'm 27 but I've struggled with depression and anxiety since I was in elementary school and cutting (self-injury) since High School. These experiences have made me so much more sensitive to others out there like me. I love to share my story of how God is helping me deal with these things and I look forward to the day when I can say that these "mountains" have been cast into the sea! Thanks again!<br /><br />-Christina R.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4020596555315595447.post-30698905666180106712011-11-15T19:07:47.427-08:002011-11-15T19:07:47.427-08:00Thank you so much for the comments.

One way God expresses His love to us is through the love expressed as we encourage one another - the Body of Christ in action.Debby Kerner Rettinohttp://www.worshipinreallife.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4020596555315595447.post-27326965146924384492011-11-14T21:18:42.536-08:002011-11-14T21:18:42.536-08:00As much as I appreciate your enthusiam for the new...As much as I appreciate your enthusiam for the new album, I'm not sure it was entirely necessary for you to hit the wall to illustrate your point. :) Seriously though, I hope your recovery is quick and smooth. <br /><br />I've really enjoyed what I've read of your blog so far. I would fall under the category of someone who struggles to remember just how much God loves me. I grew up on the Psalty tapes (back before they invented CDs) and then a year or so ago I had the opportunity to purchase the entire collection of CDs and DVDs which I have listened to and watched a few times since then. Even though I am 27, it's amazing how you guys manage to keep the message simple enough for kids and yet profound enough to reach someone like me. <br /><br />Thank you for all that you're doing and may God bless you and your ministry! <br /><br />-Christina R.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4020596555315595447.post-8776080144665124482011-11-12T23:50:18.799-08:002011-11-12T23:50:18.799-08:00Debby, Debby!

Maybe you need to be a little more careful about what you write...don't they teach you that in D.Min school? I think that beyond the lesson in faith that you endeavor to convey, there is one on courage, and fortitude, and looking to God for strength when our meager reserves are depleted that you have blessed the reader with, intentionally or otherwise. Blessings to you, beautiful woman of God.

Sometimes I can't so much comment and say it back to the writer in other words, but I can say "Thank you" for your honest story.Vincehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06109211950326579838noreply@blogger.com
