The Thorn of Depression: Guest Post at BeBoldJen

Last week this comic was making the viral rounds and it cracked me up. I loathe Sponge Bob. He has to be the most annoying character ever invented.

So when my amazing friend Jen asked me to guest post about my struggle with depression, I had to include it.

Jen just had her first article, titled “Dirt Road Dependence” published in Proverbs 31 Magazine. Since I got to live that story with her in Ethiopia, I’m even more proud and excited for her. It was featured on Encouragement Cafe Radio yesterday and she invited some women to guest post on her blog about their own struggles with weakness and dependence.

Go read my post.

Here are a few other posts about my struggle with depression:

• Depression Video Testimonial (filmed for church sermon) Shot 5 years ago – the braces are off now 🙂
• Climbing Out of the Well
• The Realities of Post-Adoption Depression (Part 1) and (Part 2)

If you are new to my blog, thanks for visiting! I blog primarily about life as an adoptive family, how to afford adoption, and living in financial freedom. If you’re in the process of adoption, or think it might be in your future, I hope you’ll be encouraged by my book “Adopt Without Debt: Creative Ways to Cover the Cost of Adoption.”
