Unity

Unity, what a word. Have you ever really thought on it? Today in our small group we saw a version of it I'd love to see throughout all the Church's who serve the Lord. We saw Chonda Pearce share her testimony about her season of depression and how the group she attend just simply thanked her for sharing. They didn't tell her to get connected, read one more scripture, or tell her to go worship. They simply said thank you and next. WOW what a revelation. How many times have you just wanted someone to LISTEN? I know for myself, last spring was that time for me. I didn't end up in a rehab but, I can surely relate to the awakening to the "dark" everyday and wondering when it will pass. Thank God for Medical Doctors that listen and believe!!!! My doctor suggested meds and when that wasn't working and I sought a herbal solution, he trusted me and supported me! My husband, God love him, heard the medical terms, sought prayer and just trusted I would be okay and jumped in to help with the kids. You know, that is about the time the Lord lead us to Celebration. Praise God. Fatigue filled body and all, I worshiped and slowly the pain would subside, song by song! I'd wonder why I couldn't make my bed or vacuum without having to stop or catch my breathe. Now looking back, well, you get the picture, we are to praise Him no matter what! That was my source of healing and praise God my husband LOVES music and we have lots to choose from. Okay, the unity part. Well, we have a burden, something we seem to be dealing with or have recently and WHO might you know going through the same or about to? Could/should we not come along side them and present a unified front to those that come against us/them. The Bible tells us where two or more are gathered in His name, there He is also. What more could you ask for. We are but to seek His face and know that......we are never alone!

Regine,
This is cool!!! I love this and how you've done it. I like the fact that you can "voice" how you feel without having to literally say it out loud!!! I want to know know about this so I'll call you. I also agree that we all go through times like this it's just that some of us get through it faster than others.
