Hey Melanie, I read the first post you made. Faith is a hard one for all of us - remember that little mustard seed? It sounds like you are as overwhelmed as I am. I can't even clean my house because of rickets and broken bones and now my knees are gone - one with a torn meniscus and a sprained hamstring and I'm still recovering from a broken back that I received during my hysterectomy a year and a half ago. It healed but now I have no spacing left between discs L4-S1. I'm thankful I can walk again. But like you, I have not even started on my taxes and you just reminded me of it. Thank you.
You and your sister will be in my prayers. I know it is hard to do right now but laugh a little more at yourself. I have to or I'd go insane. I am close with the Lord but I can find myself saying some horrible things to my husband sometimes - can't believe he puts up with me and has for 31 years. I wasn't always like this as I feel probably most of us weren't.
In Christ's Love,
Anita

I am so sorry tht you have had this experience. Honesly, people are just ignorant. Church people need to be re educated I think. Tradition teaches the m so many things that need to be re thought out. God is a good God and he doesnt look down on us cause we are suffering. He gives us the answers and the solutions so we can live a happy abundant life. It woul be so nice if we could just get help and support from our fellow christians and les judgement. There are christians out there that understand and can really be a suport and help to you. I got to tell you about a christian comedienne that I saw on James Robinson show on tv. He is a minister. Anyway, she was on there talking about her comedy and ministry and how she is trying to get th body of christ to stop being so judgemental and reach out to those in need particularly people with mental issues and depression. She offered a DVD and I ordered it and it was awesome! Her name is Chondra Pierce. I lent i t out so I cant remember the title but there is a picture of her on the front with a disco outfit. I wish everyon could watch it! It is so funny and annointed. It will really help all us christians to see Gods heart for his people. PLease please get ahold of this tape everyone cause it will help you. I showed it at our church and it turned out well. Let me know what you think of it.
I dont want to give tooo much info cause I want every one to see it. You will love it and be so blessed and get hilarious laughs as well. We all need that! I guess you could google Chondra Pierce and find it.( or James Robinson ministries)

Melanie, I whole heartedly agree with Ms, T Bones. church should be a place where we can share eachothers burdens, and hardships. My church, for instance, has the slogan "a place for broken people". And guess what? We're all "broken" in some form. We even have a "12 step" program in which our VERY OWN pastor committed to 6 times. He is such a compassionate person and very REAL about his life experiences. He is a SELF proclaimed, anxiety ridden, FEARful, people pleasing ADDICT! Yes, ADDICT(to fear and worry)! And he's our pastor of nearly 4500 members weekly. There are alot of our "members" that seek counselling and medical attention for Depression, anxiety, etc. Life can be difficult and US, as Christian should KNOW that! He is an advocate for "christian counselling" and meds if necessary. NO one should pass judgement! And He openly speaks on this VERY SINFUL act. The wonderful thing about our walk in Christ is that WE have the option of which church we attend. I think you may want to consider(&pray about)searching another out. I will certainly pray for you and ask for a "peace that passes ALL understanding". Good luck 
and listen for the guidance!
