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. Lessons 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.

God Has Our Backs As He Heals Our Hearts
- Pray
"Father in heaven, you are sovereign over my pain and I trust you. Thank you for cleansing my heart. Amen"
- Pray a Scripture
The Lord is my strength and my shield. My heart trusted in Him and I am helped. Therefore, my heart greatly rejoices, and with my song, I will praise Him. (Psalm 28:7 NKJV)
- Speak the Word of God aloud
"Those who revere You will be glad when they see me, because I have hoped in Your word. I know, O Lord, that Your judgments are right, and that in faithfulness You have afflicted me. Let, I pray, Your merciful kindness be for my comfort. According to Your servant. Let Your tender mercies come to me, that I may live. For Your law is my delight." (Psalm 119:74 NKJV)
"...when the enemy comes in like a flood, The Spirit of the Lord will lift up a standard against him." (Isaiah 59:19 NKJV) I love this Scripture. If the enemy attempts to defeat us with painful memories, it tells us that God has our backs--and our hearts!
How about you? How do you respond to painful memories? Has it occurred to you that God has your back and your heart? He wants to take the very things that cause us to feel powerless and empower us with His strength.
