Hi Steve and the morning crew, I listen to you almost every morning and
love your show. It's very refreshing. I am 25 and I got married last
year. My mother died about a year and a half ago and my husband
supported me through the whole time while we were dating. I truely
believe God sent me this wonderful person, because without God's
support, my dad, and this man's comfort, I don't know how I would be. I
love the Lord and have always tried to live my life in a way that would
be pleasing to him and have trusted him. I have grown up in a loving
home and have been surrounded by truely great family. I was always very
close to my mom. When my mom passed I went through a roller-coaster of
feelings, moods and emotions. This year I am greatful for what God has
given me, a man who loves me, a supportive father, a new house, and
I've started grad school. However, I still find myself sad. Last year I
went through terrible bouts with depression and loss of motivation,
anger, loneliness (eventhough my loved ones were near), etc. However, I
received conseling from my pastor with my now husband and they and my
family have prayed together, and I seemed to be doing alot better. Now
I feel as if I'm feeling somewhat dis-heartened again. I struggle with
my self-image (always have, eventhough my parents constantly built me
up), have begun to hate my job, and feel that I can't trust people and
am constantly hurt. I know this is alot, but I would just love an
encouraging word and a little advice...feeling frustrated and confused
