Saved from suicide
If you read my book 📕 then you know all about my struggles with suicidal thoughts. I had those thoughts on and off for years from age 12 til age 30. Wow! Of course God always spoke against those thoughts, but ultimately God will send us help as well. He can use others to save us and minister to us, ministry is not just limited to preaching in the pulpit! Early September 2023 the thoughts of suicide came back and in overdrive, I hadn’t told anybody and was quietly alone in my bedroom suffering. Now this was right before I officially joined my church, I was in a few small groups though, so I sent a text in our group thread about how I was feeling and literally about 1 second later I got a call. One of the older lady’s in the group called me to encourage me and uplift me wow! I was so shocked she called me and even cared about what I was going through! No one at any of the other churches that I attended ever did this. I mean literally she didn’t know me at all nor had we even met in person yet. Wow! We talked for hours. After we finished talking I felt an immediate change. The atmosphere in my bedroom completely shifted, it became so joyful like never before, I could not stop smiling at that point and I could literally feel the presence of God take over and illuminate all throughout my bedroom. Wow. God cares and He will use people to save you, people you may not even know and people who have no blood connection to you at all. I officially joined the church a few days later and knew I made best decision and the thoughts of suicide never returned. Amen! My church family is my true family! Ecclesiastes 4:9-12King James Version
9 Two are better than one; because they have a good reward for their labour.
10 For if they fall, the one will lift up his fellow: but woe to him that is alone when he falleth; for he hath not another to help him up.
11 Again, if two lie together, then they have heat: but how can one be warm alone?
12 And if one prevail against him, two shall withstand him; and a threefold cord is not quickly broken.
