To finish my degree in Biblical Counseling I am required to write yet another autobiography. It has to be 3-5 pages based on what I have done since I graduated. I have writers block on this. Most times I just roll the thought around in my head for days or even weeks. That is where I am at.
I have had to do 3 autobiographies for colleges classes. The first one I wrote in a college class at 19. I wrote a lot about my family and my mom. I admire my mother greatly. She is a strong and wise woman. Plus, I was living in Florida and missed her dearly. The other I wrote at 27 when my best friend died of AIDS. This one was my hurt of his passing and just my great memories of hanging out with him. My last one was in my 30's in a Biblical Counseling class. I had to take on area of sin and write about it. This one took me a year. My sin was depression. It was therapeautic. This final one is what have I done with my life. YIKES!
I have found that in this one I am much more silent and the words are not flowing. So I will spend time pondering my ideas. All two days before my birthday.
Well hopefully this won't be my last....
ReplyDeleteNice blog - I've added you to my reader! =)
ReplyDeleteSo just to be clear ...am I correct in perceiving that you believe depression is sin?
And happy early birthday!!!
Mixed feelings on whether depression is sin. But I also think we avoid the word sin. Sin = bad in our eyes. Sin = Forgiveness in God's eyes for His children. It is the flesh. So in my sin of overthinking myself- I accept the grace God offers me. I have found it is through the confrontation of my sin- I find Jesus.
