First, I wonder (partially from my experience with doctors) is it wise to be truthful with them in the way we think a Christian should be truthful? I mean, when they ask if we hear voices, we tend to get our evangelisticness up and say yes. But I would guess they are mostly asking, do we hear audible voices, right? And most of us believers do not, I think. And so because we are in evangelistic mode, we say yes, we hear, and the doc thinks we are saying yes we hear audibly. And so the crazy label goes on because we are not speaking his language. And so I wonder, maybe it is better, I don&#039;t know, to look at what we are saying from the doc&#039;s point of view. He already suspects crazy, do we have to confirm it? And does it glorify God to add one more of His to the crazy list? Is evangelizing in the way we evangelize always giving people the feeling that going with God is going to be helpful for us in the long run? Is evangelizing more about us telling, or is it more about them understanding?I also like your honesty Kat. &quot;I did not have any feelings for the lost.&quot; I think I like to puff myself up a little online and maybe I wouldn&#039;t have shared that out of pride. But I&#039;ll be honest...many times I am just numb to myself, let alone unbelievers. Something in me has given up on me a long time ago, I don&#039;t understand it but it is there. But thankfully Holy Spirit is still ticking in me.And I just can&#039;t get away from the feeling that even if one takes the crazy train, through meds or not, the grace of God doesn&#039;t quit. God&#039;s got a crazy love!Hey, Kat you never know, maybe the pills helped (something obviously helped) but you should have started tapering back on them after a month or two of using them...maybe God was in all that...who knows, maybe your brain chemistry needed a little temporary whack, not that I recommend such a good hard whack as you got for others. A great god-story, Kat.</description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I get so many things out of this testimony.

I am 25 and in the beginning of my journey to righteousness. I find myself questioning so many things..&amp; struggling with treating others, not as they treat me but as I know from my heart THEY should be treated. I feel like I am constantly in a battle these days within myself to do completely right...but get entranced so to speak by the familiarity and easiness of sin. It&#039;s so much more convient to just go about conciously sinning but lying to oneself to think that are farther along in our journeys to be in his likeness than we really are.  I just want to say thank you because I truly feel God was speaking to me through this entry.God bless you</description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I stumbled upon this site&#8230;and this entry really resonates with me.
