who do I blog 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 today or need help facing a painful yesterday, you're in the right place. You matter to God. It (whatever it is), matters to God. But no one can make that discovery for you. I'm here to comfort, inspire, and even challenge you along the way. The lessons I learned throughout my toughest years of healing were never just for me. God had you in mind as well. You are why The Medicine Place exist.

Is God sovereign over your healing process?

Ask yourself:

1. Do I stop and pray about whether or not God wants me to participate in a particular program?

If God says yes, then you better do it, even if you don't want to. If He says no, then stay home, even if your friends tell you it's just what you need to heal. Learn to follow His lead.

2. Do I spend time alone with God and communicate how I really feel?

If you're mad, tell Him. He knows anyway. God's big and He can take it. We cannot overcome what we deny.

Here's an exercise: Think back to the last conversation you had with a friend about how frustrated, hurt, lonely, confused, (fill in the blank) you are. Have you had a similar conversation with God?

If the thought of speaking those things aloud is too overwhelming, journal. Take a spiral notebook and write on the cover:

Dear God,

This is what I REALLY think and this is how I REALLY feel!
