I guess God wants me to give you a li'l personal look into my life.

I struggle (and have been diagnosed with) depression. Most days, weeks, months are good but there are a few sneaky days in all that goodness where I unwillingly succumb to darkness. Monday-Wednesday of this week were some of those days.

The whole team has been struggling this week. I will not go into details, but we've all be under attack. Due to all the tension around the base and some things said, I realized Monday afternoon that I'd let the darkness creep in. And it stayed...for a long time.

But I have to praise God because he's given me a fabulous one-on-one discipler. Christine, our new leader, and I have clicked on our Wednesday afternoon meetings far better than I thought possible. We have an incredible love for dogs and have similar backgrounds. Due to her willingness and flexibility to help and change anything needed, she let me talk through my problems and shined a light into the darkness. I praise God because I would still be wallowing in that pit if it weren't for her.

The problems are still lingering around here, but we're all lifting them up in prayer. God is the ultimate victor and He will not go without a fight.

Peace & blessings to all of you!
