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.

If a life can be a book, I open mine to you. Read my story, and gain new insight into your own.
A Prayer For Survivors
"Father in heaven, I thank You that none of us go unseen in your eyes. We matter to You. "It" matters to You. Hide us under your wing until we can smile again. Some of us can't stop crying, others don't know how to start.
Quiet the emotions of those distraught and create a great stirring in those who are numb. Give us the strength to return to You with our whole hearts, and deliver us from the belief that it must happen all at once.
Uphold our baby steps in grace and cover our mistakes in mercy. The world is a dangerous place for a girl. Reveal the refuge in being your daughter.
In Jesus' name, Amen."
Do you believe that God cares about what happened and how it has affected you? Why or why not? Consider journaling your answers to Him and then sharing them with a trusted friend or counselor who will pray with you.
