My Journey Overcoming Depression
This morning, I felt led to share about my battle in overcoming depression on “Tea Time with Sue.” Below are the poems that I shared as part of my testimony.

It is also a way for me to show my appreciation to my Creator for the world around me. Over the years I have written poems as part of my prayer journaling so it was only natural for me to compile them into a devotional journal for others to use as a part of their quiet time with the Lord.
