I've been reading your live journal, even though I haven't replied to it. You are a beautiful person on the inside and out. I'm so thankful that the Lord is again pouring his love down on you. Even though I have walked through the valley of the shadow of death, I feel the Lord was with me in the midst of my madness. He used people I never dreamed of to touch my heart with his love. I just spent my first night home alone (my husband was gone on a business trip) and I had such a peaceful sleep. I was a little nervous as during my mania I experienced such fear that I can't describe. The Lord is washing away my fear and putting new songs in my heart. I'm thankful for the death of myself as I knew me (even though I looked and felt almost perfect) there were some issues that needed to be dealt with and the Lord has a way of taking care of those that want to be dealt with. I'm not afraid of going through death again if that's what it takes to give me a bit more of Christ's heart. I want to be more like him and love all others more. I needed more grace on my husband especially. May the Lord continue to break me and rebuild me into his image. Thank you for your prayers and support. Many friends have backed away because there is a stigma that goes along with mental illness. I'm praying for them and hoping that they will not be afraid of me. May the Lord continue to bless and keep you Claire.
Selena, you are a total sweetheart, thankyou so very much. I pray that the Lord would continue to surround you with people unintimidated by your struggles and instead with a clear view of who God has created you as and who love you without condition. I pray that He might woo you and lavish His love upon you at all times. in Him x
