I have been dealing with a lot. I am currently battling a severe depression, grieving from the sudden death of my brother from 2012, and the demise of a relationship which left me with little to no self esteem or self worth. I am lonely, unemployed and sometimes feel close to calling it quits an I have to wonder sometimes if god has abandoned me. Today when I was doing laundry, a butterfly flew towards me. At first I tried to shoo it away, but it dodged my efforts and landed on the clothes n the basket I was carrying. It stayed there, even as I moved my hand towards it. It eventually flew away, but I can't help but wonder if it is a sign.

tipp, I have heard that butterflies appearing after a loved one's death means that they are near you still. I find this rather comforting to think about. :) I believe in signs, although many here will disagree with me. Pennies are another thing that show up, so if you suddenly start finding pennies in odd places alot, that is another sign! Also, please click this link:

It is my personal story of my lifelong battle with depression. I hope it will help you also. :) Feel free to pm me if you ever want to talk or just need to vent. :)

I lost the person I most loved in the world, in 2004, my dad. I couldn't understand at the begining why it was happening to me, we were so closed to each other. Then He told me in many ways, it would make me stronger, through the difficulty. Many cases in Bible tell us the same, through dificulties prophets found relief and strength in God.

If you think it's a sign, it probably is. God bless... :)
