Hey, Folks!  This is a special invitation from me to you.  I know that this season tends to be harsh for some of you/us.  Depression gets worse, anxiety gets worse, there is much sickness, there is adjusting to life without loved ones, and sometimes past hurts or experiences tend to creep in when we are down.  I wasn't even aware of seasonal depression until I came to LJ.  It's all very real, and some of us are afraid to speak up and ask for help with it, because of the way a large part of society shuns it.  Please, don't ever be afraid with me.  You're my friend and I love you.  As most of you know I have a Christian community that I want to welcome you to come to.  STOP!  Don't stop reading! Please! I'm not inviting you to shove things down your throat, or to tell you it is "all in your head" and/or that you are "making it all up."  No.  That is not my invitation.  My invitation is to welcome you to come gather encouragement.  Come and ask for help with prayer or consolation.  Even if you don't believe in prayer or being consoled, I truly think you can find some kind of comfort and uplifting over at my place.  There is morning encouragement, a daily devotion(except Saturday), and there is evening encouragement.  Yes, you have to join to get in and see the good stuffs, BUT! you do not have to stay.  If you feel uncomfortable or don't get any uplifting, then I will not pressure you in any way whatsoever, if you decide to leave.  You do not have to post.  You do not even have to comment--even though that would be nice.  ;)  That way I could at least know if you read and felt some good from it, and to know what more of to post about.  That comment can be a simple, "thank you," or a nod, or a "♥︎."  And yes, even if you are not a Christian, you are still welcome.  God loves us ALL.  We all bleed the same.  ♥︎  Again, there will be no pressure whatsoever, but I just wanted to reach out to you, the people I love and care for, and offer my love and support.  It's the least I can do with all of the love and support that you give me.  I am thankful for YOU!  ♥︎
