Thanks for the interest in my personal testimony. I have been thinking of what I could share with you, but given my current circumstances in the past year and a half, it is tough to really decipher what I could share. So I chose to share with you my re-gained TRUST that I have in my Savior in providing a collage of all that has happened.

I went through a severe depression, which started in March of 2008 until June 2009, when my wife of 4 years chose to be with another man. After about 2 weeks, a pastor in the village confronted her and told her about her wrong doing. She reluctantly reconciled and I trusted her. But she dedicated herself to entertaining other men in her life and being in contact with them until about May 2009 (we moved back to Palmer, Alaska at the end of May '08).

What transpired during the tough times (we were together in Palmer), was a track record of conflict and turmoil between my wife and I. I adopted medication that I was very dependent on. I moved out a couple of times to my parents house (where I am at now), which provided great support to me. I was too depressed to work, I was unable to even clean the garage because I was unable to process the steps to do so. So I lived on my credit card on my own for the past year, collecting unemployment (of which has run out).

Around this past month of May, nothing was working out and I had asked God to take my life as I laid in bed, my mother provided me Psalm 118. Hmmm, what did that do for me? The entire chapter of Ps 118 applied directly with every battle I was facing. As I asked for death for my life, perhaps that is exactly what God did for me, putting my situational life to death and providing me how we can live in His promise. What He wanted in my life was the trust that I once had such reverence for. For me to trust Him in all my ways. He tells me to acknowledge Him in all my ways and He will make my ways straight.

I was down to EXACTLY nothingness. He broke me down until I learned to trust Him.

But, my battle goes on as He shows me how to deal with the world that, we, are in for a short time. He HAS set me apart from the world in showing me how to abide in His law, in His promise. I had listened to the enemies provision for my life, telling me of the shame, being depressed, being rejected, being dependent of meds and alcohol instead of my Savior, as well as spending money and time foolishly.

Perhaps, what is more important, is what God has for us in today and tomorrow, as we are not to dwell in the past, but to seek His provision in our lives. Yes, I am separated from my wife. Yes, I endure the pain with my children. Yes, I am unemployed. Yes, I have considered bankruptcy. Yes, I am weathering the storm in other battles. BUT, YES, I SEEK HIM EVERYDAY, knowing that the storm will pass and that life through Him is prosperous.

Its hard not to go on in this letter.

"No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws him, and I will raise him up at the last day." -John 6:44

"So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it." —Isaiah 55:11

In the parable of the talents, "His master replied, 'Well done, good and faithful servant! You have been faithful with a few things; I will put you in charge of many things. Come and share your master's happiness!'.

In despite of all my turmoil, I praise Him and thank Him for putting me though my trials. God has shown those whom cross my path, a glimmer of faith that sparks an interest in what is happening in Peter Pickett's life. I do some correction in ones life as I fight the good fight of faith, coming against the opposition. I have shared that I am off the dependancy of depression meds. But, what has comes out of my mouth, God has used to reach out to those whom it was intended for. It happened so, that I had finally realized that God is actually using me!

So, I have shared with my children and now my extended family. And, for some ~ODD~ reason, I have over 4800 friends on Facebook, that I do occasionally share some testimony with. I share some praise at my church. I do only share that of which is inspired by the Holy Spirit and as well as holding my tongue- “Do not give what is holy to the dogs; nor cast your pearls before swine," Matthew 7:6.

But, as I wish to share more, I'll keep it somewhat short. I do blog what happens in my life at
