I want to thank everyone for praying for me & my daughter. I truly needed your prayers. Your prayers have made a huge difference for me. You prayed me through 2 very tough days. I know God loves us & wants what's best for us. I know He is in control. But I needed your prayers to lift me out of a darkness that is indescribable. Those who have dealt with major depression will know exactly what I'm talking about. I've come to the edge many times, and I have fallen off the edge a few times. Again, those of you who have been there know exactly what I mean. And then there are those of you who have never been depressed a day in your life, and if that is you, you will never understand why everybody can't just pick yourself up and get on with it. Bless your hearts; you prayed anyway. Thanks to every single person who interceded on my behalf. You helped keep me from falling into an abyss. Your continued prayers for my daughter I know will be honored by our Father. We've been instructed to pray for one another and encourage each other in Jesus' Name. I pray blessings upon each of you! Patti

Patti, you are worth it! We may be mere penpals, but it's every bit as real, this love between us all, as if we were right in front of each other looking square in the eyes. Do you know how HUGGED you would have been if we were all together in the same room? We would have squeezed the sad right out of you!

Thank you for the Honour of your trust in the transparency of your struggle. I am one who DOES know your struggle, and understands well. I send you love.

I'm so proud of you for reaching out through the heavy blackness to ask for light. Many times when we are that far down, we cant see straight or in perspective anymore. And the enemy tries to convince us to stay alone and not bother anyone, and to stay silent. But that's how we sink deeper, isn't it? We need each other Patti. We need to be honest, and real, and we need to be able to say 'I'm drowning, I can't swim right now'. And for our family to put out that hand, pull us in to shore, and show us we are always an arms-length from help.

I love you, and I will pray for you again tonight. Rest a lot, have lots of prayer time, and keep us posted, ok?

Dear Patti, I'm so glad to hear things are getting better. I think that each and every one of us has been through tough times in our lives, especially after being saved, as the enemy keeps trying to come up with ways to make our lives difficult. But the Lord is with us, including with you, protecting, helping and guiding us, and so are we here looking out for each other in prayer and any other way we can. You are never alone, my dear Patti.

I praise Him! May the Lord continue to keep us all in all our ways.

Glad for you report , Sis ! WE LOVE YOU SO MUCH !!!!!

Thank you for your encouragement, support, understanding, and prayers. I love you all very much and am so glad to be a part of this family.

Can't wait to get Home and collect hugs from everyone!
