I’ve heard it said that “Wisdom comes from experience.“
I am an older woman who still battles from time to time with various stages of depression. I live in central Pennsylvania. I am a wife, mother, and grandmother. I believe in the Trinity: God the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. I believe the Bible was given to us so we will know our Creator, who we are, and how we are to live. I started this website in hopes that God would use my life experiences to encourage you. Though our battles may look different, we fight the same enemy (Satan), who kills, steals, and destroys. May this website help you not only come up with a battle plan for your life, but also for you to know you are loved and seen by the God of the universe.
Hagar
She was alone on the side of a road — pregnant, cast out, feeling forgotten. But when the angel of the Lord found her there, she felt truly seen. So she did something no one before her had ever done: she gave God a name. “You are the God who sees me,” she said. “I have now seen the One who sees me” (Genesis 16:13). She called Him El Roi, the God Who Sees.
May God bless you and keep you. May His face shine upon you and give you peace.

A Personal Note
For various reasons, many Christian women choose to keep their fight with depression private. Therefore, I have chosen not to have a place for comments on this website. If you struggle with clinical depression, I am not a licensed counselor and encourage you to seek out professional help.
If you are under professional care, but would like to try some of my suggestions and ideas, please talk to your caregiver to see if they would agree.
