You were one of those who critiqued my writ...Peter,<br />You were one of those who critiqued my writing on Faithwriters site. I want to first thank you for your help. I am taking my short stories and creating a devotional and your help with moving the paragraph of driving to the facility first was something I had considered. You just really helped me there.<br /><br />Said all that to say I found your work and realized you wrote tons on depression and especially night terrors. I also had night terrors and had a difficult childhood. I am assuming you are a Christian. We sure do need Our Creator when we experience these things. I then had my younger son who had them as frequently as I did. <br /><br />This may seem strange to you but I realized that in my childhood I would know things before they happened. In the church today it is known as Prophetic and I knew my son also could see things I could not see. The emeny of our soul does let us see things to torment us many times and the gift we have is to help others and pray for them. <br /><br />I still see things to this day but I can interpret them better. My son, (now 23), can still see things but the torment is gone. I had prayed for him and over his room when he was around 6. It took that long for me to see what was happening to him. I asked the Lord to cover his eyes with the wings of angels and to protect his visions and bring him peace as his gift kicks in. No more night terrors and he flows in his gift better now. When one is only 23 they are busy with their lives so he does not see as much as he used to. Hardships may change that but at least he does not see horrors any more. <br /><br />About depression I had clinical depression for about 5 years but could not take the medications. I wrote a story about it called, "Cracks in My Ceiling" <br /><br />The Lord has brought me out of that season with great joy. Fear has torment for sure. And shipwrecked faith can trigger events. <br /><br />So friend, I pray for you and what a joy to find a sojorner going through the same roads I once traveled. I know you will find your joy also for HaShem is faithful to bring you to your rest and release you from exile. He has covenant with you and He will do it. You will be complete and whole wanting nothing, and that's the truth. <br />Celeste DuckworthCeleste Duckworthnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3015299104362685233.post-86141254126755849242010-01-06T07:39:00.078+11:002010-01-06T07:39:00.078+11:00Hi Peter!

I am glad that you did because it led me to this very inspirational one that you have been writing. :)<br /><br />I never realized the difference between a dream and a night terror. Now that I know what they are I can say that I've had them a few times...but in the morning while trying to wake up. They feel SO real! <br /><br />Blessings to you!<br />RobinFaith, Hope, and Lovehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07813416716908003975noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3015299104362685233.post-7483862852176762002009-12-30T10:22:17.316+11:002009-12-30T10:22:17.316+11:00Wow, Peter!
