Show Notes:
The tough times in life are beautiful lessons that we can all learn from! In today’s episode I share my testimony of the hard times and what led me back to my faith. I was originally raised in a Catholic household but struggled with feelings of not belonging. A few times in high school and college I had suicidal thoughts that I battled which led to the use of alcohol and drugs to numb the pain. In college I met my husband and felt that if I got the degree and the career I would finally be happy and feel that I was enough. Unfortunately, that wasn’t that case. It wasn’t until I was battling postpartum depression after my third child that I realized I really needed help. This led to my diagnosis of bipolar 2 depression which I then treated with both therapy and a single medication. Shortly after this my husband lost his job and we decided to move to Arizona for a new job and new lifestyle. Following our move we found a home church and adopted the healthy lifestyle that so many people in Phoenix love! Within the first few years all the members of my family got baptized again. This was what made me realize that my belonging doesn't come from people, it comes from God. Once we realize this our whole lives become more clear. How is God using trials to shape your life?
