Pauline. I cannot recall who told me that you have quite the backstory and that you are far more of a survivor and overcome than many of us know.
I know I have asked you questions before about your beliefs. Please know they were never meant disrespectfully. I was just trying to get to know you better so I understood from where you were coming.
You have an amazing faith that I truly admire. I think it is amazing when people find faith as deep as yours.
I used to have much greater faith, but over the last several years things chipped away at it and I find myself believing more and more than I am one who cannot be save or rescued by God's grace. I know none of us really "deserve" it, but I find myself particularly undeserving.
I agree with your comments that COVID is diminishing the mental health of our society- pushing previously "Well" people to having depression, anxiety, et cetera. And it is pushes people with other problems right to the edge of despair and sometimes even pushes them over that edge. It is sad, so I do a lot of praying that people can just hang on.
This mess has to pass sometime. I just hope it doesn't take more lives due to mental health crises than the actual disease itself.
You are an amazing woman. I look up to you a lot. Just know you are a role model of what a faithful believer and overcomer should be.
