who am I blogging for?
Jack Nicolson put it brilliantly in the road-trip scene from the 1999 movie As Good As It Gets: Not everyone has a terrible story to get over. Some people have great stories; beautiful stories that take place in parks with friends and noodle salad. Good times, noodle salad. Just no one in this car.
If you're overwhelmed by your circumstances or need help facing a painful past, you're in the right place. I'm here to say, "You matter to God. It (whatever it is), matters to God." But no one can make that discovery for you. No matter what, don't give up. You are worth fighting for, and so is your family.
I realize now that the lessons I've learned through my toughest years of healing were never just for me. God had you in mind as well. You are why The Medicine Place exist.
Healing is a journey. And if I could go back in time and choose instant healing over what I went through, I would choose the long way. Because it was on that road that I discovered how beautifully my hand fits in my Savior's.
Welcome to The Medicine Place...where I happily share the steady doses of truth and light that brought me through many, many hardships.

Sometimes You Have To Look Back To Move Forward

If I need Jesus to heal, why are there so many unhealed Christians?
That's a tough question, and my answer is tough because it requires trust.

God, save the little ones. Not everyone is sent to bed with a hug and a story. For many, the monsters are real . . .

Tiny Boxes Filled With Pain
"Most of the women in this support group cry every time we meet, and I don't see them healing! If I have to cry to heal, then I'm really in trouble."
