I believe in Jesus. I am a born again Christan. To say that if I believed more or prayed harder and I would be healed is a slap in my face. How dare you. Did you say that to Pamela when she was dying of cancer? No, I don't think so. Stuart who is minster has the same problems as I do. Is he not good enough either? I am deleting that comment. Yes you made me mad. Pray for me all you want. But don't tell me my faith and prayers are good enough!!!!!!!!! You obviously have NO CLUE to what you are talking about. When you tell people that are dying of cancer or that have diabetes that they just need to believe or to pray harder and God will heal them then you can come tell me the same. But until then you need to do your research about mental illness. Pray all you want. I do, my family does. I will pray that God will enlighten those that think I need to have more faith.

Ignorance speaks volumes, doesn't it? ((Kathy)) The only thing that comes near to helping me in a physical way is writing, writing and more writing in my paper journal ~ and the online journal. Teresa
GOD doenst owe it to any of us to heal us but for his own reasons he does some and others he doesnt. YES I AM SURE some are NOT healed for lack of faith YET again I am very sure that some are healed and have no faith!!!!!!!! let me just say its not our place to judge why you are or are not healed. Some of us are to be a testimoney that reguardless of our healing we make it thru life one way or another. HEY MOSES had a speach impediment and look at job he did not get his original family back. He was given other family but not what he had. babies die and who can say they need to pray harder or believe more. OH MAN!!!!!!!!! OH BROTHER!!!!!!!!!!!! KATHY HONEY Dont worry about what others say.
I get that kind of crap all the time I just delete it all and ignore it and pray these people never find out the truth thermselves.
O Kathy i am not the praying type byt please know that my thaughts are with you. I don't want you to think that i am making excuses for the person who said such thaughtless things for you but sometimes people think they are helping and don't know that they are just making things worse. I wish i could be more help. and i know this doesn't replact the real thing but you need a (((((((((HUG)))))))) i know i would need one
I don't know what happened but I sure agree with you.
OMG! Kathy, you know I have been a Missionary/Minister for 40 yrs! Look at the physical shape I'm in!!!! So much pain, disabled, etc! I pray & believe & have faith...but also know God works in His own time which is different than ours, & in His own way. There is a reason one person is healed & another is not...we just may not see it at that time! Many suffer to be a beacon to others!
I have no ideal what this was about, as I've been deleting lots of my alerts the past few days...just too many for me to keep up with at times, esp when I'm hurting.
Pay no attention to the ones that are trying to pull you down. We love you sweetie, & God loves you more!!!
Blessings, Sugar
As an RN I've seen many people who were God fearing, loving, genuinely good people....and how they have suffered. Wow! I don't like it when people are on the attack like that. Take care ....Pam
Sorry somebody said that to you Kathy. I get that all the time, about both mental and physical illnesses. Yes, people are so ignorant sometimes.

I don't have the beliefs you do, but I respect them....because I KNOW yours come from a GOOD place. Your heart. Your soul. My mom was a very godly woman and she still got cancer and suffered so bad for almost half a year. Disease doesn't recognize faith. :(

To say one needs more faith to be healed seems a contradiction of Jesus himself, who said faith of only a grain of mustard seed could move mountains!!!! It is true, that many things can hamper our prayer life: unforgiveness, unconfessed sin, praying for our will instead of his, just to name a few. I didn't see the post that brought the comments about the pictures. And I don't know exactly what someone said to you about your depression. I do believe clinical depression is a real ailment. I do believe it is right and good to seek treatment for our ailments. They did not administer warm oil on the people they prayed for in the Bible because it held some mystical power. It was a comforting treatment for pain. They were doing all they knew to do medically as well as praying! I don't know how you feel. Why does God simply remove some things and others he doesn't? I don't know. I offer know one knows the mind of God. His ways are higher than ours. We use our heart and souls to reach out to him for comfort, leading and healing AND we do all we know to do with our intellect he gave us. Hang in there! Keep trying. Maybe new meds.....maybe new doctor. Try to have the courage to reach out and form more REAL relationships. You know.....ones offline. Where you can touch. Where you can see the caring in someone's eyes. I pray God will send this gift into your life! - Barbara
I am so sorry somebody went stupid on you. It must have hurt a lot. Lots of us- whatever our religion-know better than that. Margo

I hate the fact that some things have happened to cause you to post the past few entries I've just read. When I clicked on your blog this morning I expected to find the cheer that has always been here. Over the course of the past three years some folks have used these journals as a place to affront others in ways that they know they could never do in person because they wouldn't have the courage. I'm glad you're letting them know they are wrong and that they have no right to their actions against you.
I am no stranger to depression. Mine is not clinically severe, but I do not manage it well and that is evident to the outside world in the weight I've gained through my depression. When I share the pictures from our trip to Nigeria over Christmas, you'll see my depression pounds. I'm sorry Kathy. You have been such a wonderful friend to me. I thank you for your friendship and want you to know how much it has always meant to me.

mental illness is very strong in my family. I know what you are going through because i deal with it myself. My mom is on meds , her mom, was Bipolar and Scitzaphrenic, My Uncle Killed himself. so on And so on. I joked around with you but mental illness is serious, and i was mostly trying to make you laugh. I hope you saw this.
Take care of yourself. Im sure some people meant well.
Love Christine
I think people should not make rude comments. You have a right to say and believe in what you want.
Darn. People are just plain thoughtless and mean sometimes.
