Brother, I read your story as you have posted on that website. I too, am a believer in Christ. Not only that but also identified with the fact of being a “staunch Christian” as well and one who has beliefs that seem to be only popular with God and ironically enough others who don’t believe. Simply because I was raised strict in the Faith but have also come to be more accepting and non jugmental now a days. I too, have suicidal thoughts and one of the most refreshing things I found in your story is that age old myth that as Christians we cannot have suicidal thoughts. I am encouraged in the fact that you have been a believer but you sincerely wanted the Lord to take you home. No, He didn’t answer and I know I have also prayed this many times myself. I still struggle with the Depression and various issues that lead to Suicidal thinking. However, I do as you said. I try to take one day at a time and live in the Now though I find that difficult at times to do. But I just wanted to say that your story is wonderful and I can identify with so much of it. Thank you so much for coming on here and sharing it with us!!! God bless you Brother Alexander!! And by the way, are we so old fashioned (or have been in the past) that it was wrong to even become a lawyer? My heart broke for you when I read that……….we may have the truth on our side but we are far from ever being perfect. And I am sorry for that. As I read, I was hoping you found out different and became the best Lawyer in the world as you wanted to be!!! God had other plans I guess……….but again thank you for sharing!!!!
