In my book, Broken by Addiction, Blessed by God, the story of Nancy runs through each chapter. Nancy called today as she does almost monthly. She had been feeling suicidal but wanted to let me know she was now feeling some better. Her physical health has deterioated and her activity level is limited. She had stopped taking her anti-depressant meds which is a bad idea for Nancy.She was feeling better now that she was back on the meds.
I asked her how she had worked her way through the suicidal feelings. She said she continually reminded herself that she really is "a daughter of God." No matter what the old voices in her head say, she pictures herself sitting at God's feet. She is safe there.
Where are you safe?
Blessings-Penny

adventure
Development of this blog is a new adventure for me. An adventure that I hope you will join me in for support, for laughter, for encouragement. We will explore not only recovery issues but also about meeting life's other adventures as courageous women willing to take risks. I love Paul Tillich's quote, "Here and there in the world and now and then in ourselves is a New Creation." What does that "New Creation" in you look like?" Penny
