Matthew’s Story
I went through a tough divorce, had major financial issues and basically became depressed. I really didn't know depression could affect me, but it did. I lost 35 lbs., and I just felt broken inside. I decided to start talking to God for help.
I've always attended church, but wasn't really getting it. So I just asked God to give me peace, to help me through the issues I was facing because I knew I couldn’t do it myself anymore - my way didn’t work. Well, God reached out to me in many ways and continues to do so daily.
The best day of the week for me is Sunday. I never sang, now I do. My children love the church. I have gotten other people to attend. I have read books about Christ and can't wait to start the next. I haven't read books since college!
My temper is better; my attitude is better. Don't get me wrong - I still have meltdowns, but not as often. I still have stress, but it doesn't bother me like it used to. My finances are still tough, but I know they will get better with time.
I can't wait to put more God in my life. I wonder what God has in store for me, but for the first time I'm sure that whatever comes is His plan! I'm just walking through it. ‘Positive’ is my word and I'm sure God gave it to me. I know I’m going to struggle and have many more bumps in the road, but one thing is for sure: I'll never walk through the issues alone again.
