How do you find your center after the bottom falls out?
Depression can literally cause you to question what’s the reason for living. Pastor Juanita Rasmus faced the challenge head on and wrote the book “Finding Your Center After the Bottom Falls out.” The co-pastor of St. Johns United Methodist Church in downtown Houston says her re-connected relationship with GOD helped her ask the right questions of herself. What do I want as it relates to time, money and freedom? What do I want in my vocation? How do I want to serve the world? What do I want in my relationships? How do I want to be present to those I love and to those who love me?"
