Dig

So, I think I will just stop going out in public except for church; I mean I go out and try to meet people and they find out I don’t work and decide they don’t like me because of that. Is that judgmental on their part? You darn right. What other proof do you need other than the words on this screen or the words coming out of my mouth. Perhaps you would feel better if you could talk to the three UNC doctors who diagnosed me. Well, that is not going to happen, so I guess this is not happening. The worst thing about this is, it drives a wedge between mine and Crystal’s time together. I do not want to be a hermit, but what else can I do? The majority of people I know are acquaintances and that is all they want to be.

Crystal, I want to apologize to you; had it not been for me, some of your family would treat you like an actual sister, and they would deem you successful. Like a lot of people, some of Crystal’s family hates my guts, and I know had she married a young, rich executive she would get the attention she so deserves from them. I cannot even support your ministry without making everyone question your faith. I only wish they see it is me and not you.

All in all, I feel pretty good about things. Crystal knew what she would be giving up when she married me. Does that make me love her even more? You bet. I wish I could explain just how awesome Crystal is, but the fact that she could have any guy she wanted, yet she chose me says it all; she is just a real special person, and it takes a special person to put up with my crap.

Take care and God bless!

Chris

  1. Dear Chris,
    Your post breaks my heart. I am so concerned about you. My heart wraps around you lovingly and hopeful. Although we have never met, I feel a kindred spirit with you.
    I cannot totally wrap me head around all you are feeling right now we do have somethings in common:
    I am a female pastor, like Crystal. You men who God has handpicked to be in ministry beside your wives have unique roles that are often not acceptable to critics. Their prejudice ridicule verbal or other actions and/ or attitudes are not God’s opinion.
    Before you were born your/our Creator smiled as you were made in His image fearfully & wonderfully. Because you have so many struggles that few people have, you are able to walk beside them & bring comfort. Your ministry is hard & deep. Satan knows this and hurls his lies at you to discourage and sidetrack You.
    Right now although you fell like a failure and depressed possibly to the point of suicide go to the cross and know your worth.
    Read what Father God says about you in Psalm 139: 13-15.
    I also have struggled with the mental issue of depression most of my life. It stinks. On my own it is a hopeless battle, BUT GOD!!!
    You are loved & prayed for. Choose to listen to Holy Spirit over the lies of the enemy of your soul.
    Text or call me in messenger…In the one who loves you,

  2. Chris – you have always been a wonderful person and you are now…even if you can’t see it. Choices make you who you are. You are loved unconditionally….by God, by Crystal, by friends and family, by me. Please reach out to your mental health professional to see if they can help you walk this path. God is with you too even if you’re unsure. You are loved. You are worthy.
