Toxic People

We need to surround ourselves with people who are going to help us not only to heal but to grow. That being said, this process of building our support network also involves identifying and keeping our distance from those who will NOT help us to heal and grow.
People who will walk beside us on our journey, who will pick us up when we fall down, who will point us in the right direction. We were not meant to go it alone.

Thanks for helping all of us feel like we are not alone! While suffering is part of everyone's life it is important to understand that there are great people of faith out their who can shoulder the pain. May God continue to bless you and your amazing ministry.

Pastor Dan, My sweet Brother,
I miss you with all my heart and wish I could see you again. I'm sure you remember me telling you about a cousin raping me for 2 years before I was in Kindergarten. Now that both her parents are in heaven, I don't want to go to any of the family reunions anymore, and have to face up to her.
I spent a full year getting counseling at the Chicago Christian Counseling Center, located in Schererville, being paid by a scholarship. Now that the scholarship can no longer be renewed, I don't know what to do or who to go to anymore.
My husband and I are surviving off of my SSI & SSDI...once we got married, I lost Daddy's portion of it. Now, with what little we have left, we can only pay 2/3 of our apt rent; and need to save the rest for RX refills and household cleansers and bathing supplies, and minutes for our pre-paid cell phone.
Not only do I have my epilepsy, anxiety & depression; but my husband also has epilepsy.
My depression tends to get much worse in the winter; especially after getting hit on my bike by a car that was coming out of McDonalds in 2013. Ever since then, I've also had soar joints all over me from head to toe; especially all through my back. I now wear a back brace durring the cold season; and this year the back pain is soooo painful that I won't be able to return to church until sprintime arrives. I wish my husband and I could afford to spend the rest of the season in FL with his brother and my cousins until springtime.
PLEASE KEEP PRAYING for the two of us. Lots of hugs being sent your way!
