About Praying ~ Trusting ~ Seeking ~ Deliverance Ministries

As a United States Air Force veteran, I know firsthand how complicated this diagnosis can be.  My journey was filled with a myriad of complexities. From the rigorous physical and mental shuffling between assignments coupled with the trauma & drama of my family obligations, my emotional  stability was often stretched beyond my ability to sustain my equilibrium. The physical and emotional toll of military life can exacerbate the symptoms of PTSD.  However, as we traverse through “LIFE”~ symptoms of PTSD are increasingly prevalent (i.e., having nightmares or feeling like you are reliving an event, anxiety, depression, feelings of isolation and deprivation, avoiding situations that remind you of an event, being easily startled, loss of interest in people and activities, etc.) Sound familiar? After being diagnosed with PTSD my life changed forever. While my diagnosis gave me “the why” of my erratic, misguided and sometimes volatile behavior, I was still taken aback by the depth and severity of my loss of control.  Then came the regimen of pills and therapy.  While medication and therapy are vital tools in treating this condition, as a Pastor, I soon “came to myself.”  I realized that there was a major component still missing from my journey towards healing.  It was then that I was entrusted with “Praying ~ Trusting ~ Seeking ~  Deliverance Ministries.”
