When nobody was there for me...

I gotta say, I love my life. I really do. Most mornings I wake up, and I'm excited for the day that's getting ready to happen.
But while I hate to be a bible thumper, I really think that if I didn't have the knowledge that jesus was alive and kicking, and working actively in my life, I couldn't do it. I couldn't go on existing. And here's why.
I just can't do it alone. I'm way too...stupid? Well, yes, but more than that, I really have struggled with depression at times in my life. One time in particular, I was in a really bad way. I couldn't sleep, and I lost almost 20 pounds in a month because my appetite was gone. For the first time in my life, thoughts of sadness just like, enveloped me. And so, I turned to my parents. And what did they do? Nothing. I'm not sure what the deal was, but I think they just didn't take me seriously. Anyways, I felt deserted. Totally alone.
One day, I was having some seriously dangerous thoughts. And then, all of the sudden, I could just like, feel the evil in the room. Creepy voodoo crap I know, but for serious, have you read the Screwtape Letters by C.S. Lewis? Demons are active in our lives I think. So it was freakin scary. And when I finally got the sense knocked into me, I cried out to God. I felt like a freakin bible story. I was like, sobbing. And you know, he was there with me. You call me crazy, but he was for sure. More than I could feel the floor under my feet or the tears in my eyes, I felt my god, right next to me. helping me when nobody else would.
ok i've said enough. we'll finish this later i think.

This is a very good testimony because some people view Jesus as a very evil and threatening God, but your story shows that God is very loving and compassionate. It also tells that God hears and answers the calls and cries of His children.

You are not crazy at all. God is really real and your encounter with Him proves it. Just continue reading the Word of God because the Bible is a very wonderful book. And every word in there is true because God can not lie and His words can not return unto Him void, it must fulfill its purpose. Keep on praying also. God Bless you.

Goodness, you're gonna make me cry....reminded me of myself. I went through some really terrifying times, and God has constantly been by my side. I could feel his presence, his loving embrace, and hear his voice whisper reassuringly in my ear. And that has made all the difference in my life. I'm no longer merely pretending to be happy...I AM happy. I can get through whatever life throws my way with a smile upon my face, because I know God will help me through it.

And that's comin' at ya' from yer local redneck hippie.
