I am living with depression. I was implanted with VNS therapy on March 11,2008 and am blogging what experiences I have, not only with the device but with depression itself, and just what depression is. This is to let people know depression is not just the "blues". True depression is a disease, not a mood problem. One can manage the depression with various treatments and I invite you to learn with me as I go through it.

Thought Bubbles: Unexpected Blessings
I WAS UP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT WHEN A FRIEND SENT THIS
GOD SPEAKS
The woman whispered, "God, speak to me" and a meadowlark sang.
But, the woman did not hear.
So the woman yelled, "God, speak to me" and the thunder rolled across the sky.
But, the woman did not listen.
The woman looked around and said, "God let me see you." And a star shined brightly.
But the woman did not see.
And, the woman shouted, "God show me a miracle." And, a life was born.
But, the woman did not notice.
So, the woman cried out in despair, "Touch me God, and let me know you are here."
Whereupon, God reached down and touched the woman. But, the woman brushed the butterfly away .and walked on.
I found this to be a great reminder that God is always around us in the little and simple things that we take for granted ... even in our electronic age..
So I would like to add one more:
The woman cried, "God, I need your help!" And an e-mail arrived reaching out with good news and encouragement.
But, the woman deleted it and continued crying . Don't miss out on a blessing because it isn't packaged the way that you expect.
