Act II: "First Lady" Style

The Church and Depression

A-LINE FROM THE VIDEO: 

"I was supposed to have my 'ACT' together as a pastor's wife." 

Hmmm...what did you think she said?

We are filled with impregnable strength when joy keeps its glow even under challenging circumstances. Joy generates power! 

Joy is a special wisdom. In sadness, people become blind and lose their faith.

What is required, then, is a shift in consciousness. It has been said that ‘thoughts are things,” meaning that what you pay attention to, you become. So, lower thoughts need to dissolve so new, higher thoughts can emerge.

Just a little nugget that carries a lot of truth.

Much Love.

Legna Jay is a fictional character. However, her monologues are from real people. Her stories carry the scars of roads traveled, triumphs won, and lessons learned. She exposes those hard-worn places without fear that they might be misinterpreted, misunderstood, or rejected. 

She determines not to repress, reshape and retell her stories. She chooses not to tell "highlight" stories, knowing it dulls the very weapon God has given her to assist in empowering herself and others.

FAITH took me..HOPE carried me...LOVE held me...

"Hope is being able to see that there is light despite all of the darkness."   – Desmond Tutu

As the world has become fully immersed in fear, depression, and scattered mentalities, remember that you have the power to rise above this collective experience. 

NOTE: You are not your external conditions, and Faith is not the result of striving. It's the result of surrender. 

I hope this series of monologues will help inspire and empower you in your life's journey. 

Just a little nugget that carries a lot of truth.

Much Love.

Depression can drive you to question God or feel separated from Him. In addition, it can also make navigating the Christian world more difficult. Depression can be even more difficult for Christians because of the stigmas, dogmas, and misinterpretations linked to many Christian congregations.

When you or the people you have around you don't comprehend the reality of depression, it makes seeking help difficult. Depression can distort your perception of the truth or cause you to doubt your judgment. It's essential to recognize the misconceptions about depression in Christian schooling.
