I never go to WR anymore.<br /><br />marjamarjahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01810913152746930742noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33029643.post-3751299668840787502010-03-18T09:23:52.690-07:002010-03-18T09:23:52.690-07:00Hi Marja,

I know about that as some of my professionals have had to teach me that! I have the tendency to help others a lot too!<br /><br />Can we get together soon...it's been way too long!<br /><br />K. in WRAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33029643.post-13506713031552051722010-03-16T21:10:51.562-07:002010-03-16T21:10:51.562-07:00Dear Nancie,

Thank you for them. <br /><br />Love, marjamarjahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01810913152746930742noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33029643.post-82124366544060572372010-03-16T20:58:00.774-07:002010-03-16T20:58:00.774-07:00Dear Marja,
Thanks for this post and for sharing ...Dear Marja,<br /><br />Thanks for this post and for sharing about Will's struggles. Thank God for giving you the gifts of writing and the passion to help others. The Lord is surely using you in a different way though the seminar was canceled! Many people read the internet and those suffering often searched the internet for help. So your writings will be greatly used of the Lord as well, perhaps much more than a seminar as thousands not only today but every other day may search and find your writings which help them!<br /><br />In God's providence, Will found my blog and wrote to me. He must have felt very alone but thank God for giving him hope as he read of how the Lord is helping me to cope. I mentioned to him about you and a few others too so that he knows he is not alone. Support from people around us, especially fellow Christians, is so precious and crucial. Whenever I can, I too try to encourage Christians to have empathy and learn how they can be supportive, to build some understanding. With the love and support from others, people with bipolar and depression can also live a useful and productive life. <br /><br />Knowing how difficult coping with this condition can be, and with the burden the Lord has laid on our heart to share and help others, it is hard not think so much about always doing for other people :) I believe God allows us to go through sufferings and know His comfort, so that we can comfort others. It gives meaning to our life daily, meaning to our suffering too. But the challenge is how to maintain a balance, so that we do not get burn-out in the process :) It's so hard as we are called to lay down our lives for our brethren, and there always seemed to be so many in need! I am also trying to learn to be more dependent upon the Lord and rest in Him and His leading.<br /><br />Glad you wrote. May God continue to use your writing to be a blessing and help to those in need! Do pace yourself :) This is a reminder to me too :)<br /><br />With love and prayers,<br />NancieNanciehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08098102116087099990noreply@blogger.com
