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...proof that there is beauty to be gained from a breakdown.

Feedback on The Jonah Chronicles
If you've visited the book news page, then you know that I have recently released my testimony in a book titled: The Jonah Chronicles. It's a candid re-telling of how I overcame abuse, betrayal, and religious rejection.
I expected to be asked questions about healing from abuse, but the most consistent comment made is, "I can't believe that you and your husband are still together after everything you've been through."
I can't help it, it puts a smile on my face; the thought of giving families in way over their heads with dysfunction...hope. God has taken layers of crazy in my family and transformed it in to mulitple stories of redemption. If you've ever wondered how in the world someone can say that they don't regret their past; that's how.
The Jonah Chronicles is now a blog category. If you want to know more about a specific circumstance I shared in the book, just submit your question through the contact page and I'll be happy to elaborate. Your comments are welcome!
