Unless you’ve been living under a rock lately, you’ll know that fashion designer Kate Spade committed suicide this past Tuesday. She was famous for her really cute handbags and other accessories. She was only 55 years old.
It was a shame to hear about her passing. It just goes to show that a person can have tons of money and still be unhappy. Money doesn’t buy happiness. Mental illness does not discriminate. It can hit anyone at any time.
Mental illness is real, people! It’s time we started recognizing the signs.

But you know who else can help? Jesus Christ!
He longs to have a relationship with you and loves you so very much!
True happiness, true peace really can only be found through Jesus Christ. He is our Provider, our Prince of Peace, our Savior and our God.
He understands our pain and longs to comfort us. He’s standing, arms outstretched, waiting and wanting us to run to Him.
Come to Jesus.
All You Need is Jesus 
I know Christ has saved me from the deep miry clay. Thanks for bringing awareness.
