Only here will I share this. While I really did lose my phone recently,,, My explanation of having the "Flu" was not true. It seems the preasure of my new buisness & the Holidays (Among other issues) has once again for the third time in my life sent me into a state of depresion.:0 For those of you that dont know,,,, "Depresion" can be an OVERWHEALMINGLY debilitating thing as bad as any "Flu" or "Virus" you can get.:o Most that dont know just say: Snap out of it Buddy!! It dont work that way my Friends. Yes I am admiting this to all here. At least this time instead of staying in my bed room for 2 weeks,,,,,, I locked myself up in my shop.:) Im breaking out of it now. After 2 other times dealing with this I am getting better with dealing with it. Looks like I am not the only one here to admit sometimes we have "Issues",,,,, I know of another "Family Member" here that admitted to having some issues as well not so long ago. I hope Yall will understand. I have been dealt with a great deal of Family issues as of late. Most of them have now been resolved. Thanks for listening. Tim. PS,,, On A brighter note,,,, I hope ALL here have a GREAT Xmas/Holidays & A GREAT New Year!!(http://../jscripts/tiny_mce/plugins/emotions/images/smiley-laughing.gif)Timbo.

Timbo, I have had to suffer many rounds of this. I know it sounds odd for a man in my position, but it goes with the job. The last major round I had came when I was facing rejection of the ministry, my sister killed herself, and my dad and grandpa died very close together. Oh did I mention my brother inlaw ran up credit card debt in my name and the bill collectors were calling and I was out of work for close to 2 years. May be I had a reason to be down.
I will never forget the day I was sitting in the doorway of my out building, head hanging down and resting in my hands. I was not having very sane thoughts running through my head. I was asking God why while moaning and groaning. He spoke to my heart very clearly and said, "Do you trust me?". I droped my head lower and said, Yes Lord. What else could I say? I do trust Him.
It wasn't very long down the road as I was standing in my kitchen, He spoke to my heart again and told me I was through with this valley.
That's been over 8 years ago. Oh, I have had down times since then but never has He let me go though that again.
Take courage, He has everything under control, even when we don't understand it.
I will be praying for you.
Paul

Hey Timmy, you are in all our prayers. We all suffer from down times, some worse than others, with help and prayers from our friends we can get through them. You are not alone. With a little time and prayer your down times will pass. Hang in there Buddy, we all love you.
Charlie,

A long time ago, someone once told me that God doesn't give you anything you can't handle. You just don't know that until after you've been throught it.
Since then, I've lived through enough to know that saying is true.
Hang in there Mr Tim - your loved, your needed, and better days are coming.
Paul.

I too will keep you in my prayers Tim! I can understand some, I have had setbacks in my life. Its easy for people to say get over it or snap out of it but they have not been there. Your a very talented guy and you have many friends here. Support groups can help some. I am glad you could share that with us!
-
We the family of GTA are here for you brother Timmy and the Lord can't help but hear all the Prayers for our brother. :) Ed
-
I doubt if anyone here at the GTA is actually devoid of issues.
-
Sorry to hear you've be down brother Timmy but at least you are pulling out of it. Hold onto your faith and trust in the Lord. You are a blessed man and have a very large family that supports you in thought and prayer. Hope you had a Merry Christmas...

I understand more than you know.
It seems as if the more you attempt to pull out of it, the more the world keeps knocking you back down.
Keep your chin up, and keep your prayers simple, but most of all listen for the answers, as they may be better than you were expecting.
I have never met you Tim, but through the GTA, and our friends here, I believe that when I do finally get to meet you, I will find you to be as gracious as everyone here sees you.
God bless you, and keep those Beautiful Carvings cumming.
Cheers, David.

Tim, you just hang in there and concentrate on all of the good things in your life. You've got a helluva set of friends - real friends, not internet buddies - here on the GTA plus a lovely daughter and son-in-law. And those stocks you have been turning out look like the work of a master craftsman. (Bet more than a few of us here are jealous of your ability.) On the depression, Tim, if you need help, please avail yourself of it. Keep talking to your friends and take your doctor's advice. May God bless and keep you this holiday season.

Last night I thought to myself,,, What the heck Am I admiting to??:o I nearly deleated my thread several times. Im so glad I did not deleat it now. Thank you all so much for the kind words. Yup,,, we all at times have "Problems". I just felt I could share here with my GTA Family without being judged. I had a GREAT Xmas & am feeling darn near 100 % again!!(http://../jscripts/tiny_mce/plugins/emotions/images/smiley-laughing.gif)I really cant control the foolish acts of my son nor can I take blame for the economy & the fact I have no houses to build.:0 Thank you all for all the support,,,, and thanks for understanding. The rain has finally stopped here & the sun is posed to be shining tommorow.8) I will be back in my shop slinging sawdust!!:D Thanks Guys. Im BACK!!(http://../jscripts/tiny_mce/plugins/emotions/images/smiley-cool.gif)Timbo.

I'm real happy to have you back with us Timmy !!!!!
It looks like I got my Christmas Wish !!!!
Uncle Bill

Timmy, we are all glad you are back to your old self and ready to make sawdust again. It's something you love to do and it shows in your excellent work. I held off posting to your thread because I don't know you personally. I thought your close friends and family should chime in first. But, I've gotten to know the KIND of person you are by reading your posts on this forum. You are a good, honest, hard working family man and you have the respect and love of all here!!!!
I'm not going to throw a lot of junk into this, believe me I could bend your ear all day withlife's tribulations I've gone through so far. But, you're right, we ALL have bumps in the road and they actually make us what we are today and help mold us. It's not what troubles you face in life, it's what you do to overcome them that makes the person. Life is definately a roller coaster ride of constant ups and downs, highs and lows. When you hit a low point,ALWAYS keep 3 things in mind. They WILL NOT LAST, and a high point is just around the corner. You are NEVER alone in a struggle. There are folks out here that think the world of you, rely on you and are here FOR you. And last but not least, the MAN upstairs is always there for you too. He will help carry the burden, all you have to do is ask.
Happy New Year my friend and I have a feeling yours is going to be a propserous one!!!!
Dave
