Have you ever struggled with depression and anxiety? Robin our guest today grew up in an unstable home and struggled a lot with depression and anxiety as a child, as a teenage and into adulthood. At an early age she shut down emotionally didn't talk about how she was feeling which led her into a life of turmoil. Robin tried so hard to be good enough, good enough for God, good enough for God’s people, good enough in her own eyes, feeling like she couldn’t live up to people and their expectations. But now realizes that she doesn’t have to be good enough. God loves her right where she is and for who she is. But her story doesn’t stop here. Robin goes on a mission trip and falls in love with a sweet little girl that no one wanted. She feels the call to adopt her and bring her into her family. She struggles for 3 1⁄2 years to bring her home. And while in Mexico several things happen and the events that took place causes her some trauma and sent into a deep depression and struggling with anxiety yet again in her life. Robin was desperate to find help with her trauma, depression, and anxiety. She wanted so much to be better, to get better for herself, for her family. She reaches out for help and her doctor suggested she tries ECT treatments. Hoping things would get better but things only got worse, so much worse. As a result of these treatments she lost years of memory. And she lost cognitive abilities as well. ECT took her life from her, from her husband, from her family, and from her adopt daughter. She now warns others of Electroconvulsive Therapy (ECT) and what it did in her life. She knows that she needs help and reaches out to the leaders of the church that her and her family attended and wasn’t received well or didn’t even response to her or her family’s cries for help. They have experienced hurt within the church and pulls away from everyone and isolates in fear of being hurt again. However, Robin choices to forgive. Robin had to make some hard decisions for herself, for her family and for her adopted daughter. Realizing that this will be the hardest decision of her life. But knowing that this is what is best she finds her adopted daughter a new home. And knowing now that God used her and her family as a bridge for this sweet girl to be connected to her new home and family. God has brought Robin through so much pain, hurt, depression and anxiety. She believes God’s word in Psalm 138:3, when I called, you answered me because God was there helping her and never left her alone and carried her through it all. She is on her way to healing and sharing her story in hopes to help others in this journey we call life.

#4 Spilled Perfume-Divine Delay
Spilled Perfume, GREAT, now I'm going to be delayed. This was supposed to be an easy Friday morning, an easy kind of day. Now I'm running late but not to late to stop and get breakfast. I drive like a mad crazy women-who loves Jesus I might add. I end up running over the curb in the drive through. Normally I like to think that I'm a good driver. But I was struggling and I confused to the nice kind lady in the drive through that I was struggling and she too shared she had a rough morning, the tea bag had busted and went everywhere. She had a mess to clean up. I prayed Lord Jesus be with us both. I finally made it to work and before going in I stopped and asked the Lord. Who is at work here? Show me who is at work? I thought for sure the struggles I was facing this morning was all Satan's doing, his evil plan. I continue on into work and I decide I was going to take the elevate instead of the stairs as I always did. Then I run into my friend who also was struggling this morning. Again, I thought Satan is at work not just with me but with my friend. We ended up going to lunch together and having the best time. I love our friendship so much. This day, God showed me that this morning the spilled perfume was a divine delay, it was on purpose that this happened. I was meant to be late this morning. I was supposed to struggle. I was meant to run into my dear sweet friend. We both needed each other this day. Has something like this happened to you and you found yourself delayed. Have you ever wondered, why did this happen this morning, this day? Why, why, why Lord? I encourage you the next time you are running late, ask the Lord who is at work? Show me who is at work here? Are you willing to be delayed so that you can be used by God? Do you dare pray God inconvenience my morning or my entire day or even my life for your purpose and your plan? Remember friend God's purpose prevails. Prov. 19:21. Ok God whatever you have planned for me that's what I want. I surrender, No More Running.!!!
I'm excited to share there is a change coming to the podcast and can't wait to share with you my friends. Keep listening!!! Your welcome to visit my website www.crystalloyd.com to learn more about me and my story.
