Wrestling with an Angel – Dana Hawkins
Dana Hawkins will be speaking to the women about her book “Wrestling with an Angel” and at the Mental Health Workshop.
Dana Hawkins knows what it means to struggle with difficult circumstances: a challenging childhood, an eating disorder, clinical depression, suicidal thoughts, debilitating physical pain, financial struggles, court battles to adopt a needy child—to name a few.
Describing the heavy state of her mind while in depression, she speaks of the hopelessness, the anger, the very real feeling that she is seeing life through a film, that she is somehow separate and removed from those around her.

“I don’t ever give myself a back door. There is no alternate escape route. I made up my mind long ago that being a Christian was a lifelong decision. That cinches the deal no matter what lies ahead. That’s not to say I’ve never felt like quitting. I certainly have been tempted when things have been incredibly difficult. But because that has already been ruled out as an option, the only choice I’m left with is making it through to the other side.”

Many (including Christians) are caught in this vicious web.
