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.
Seemingly Impossible Things
That is actually painted on the wall of my breakfast nook and I never tire of it. Lewis Carroll wrote the children's classic Alice in Wonderland. Here are two of my favs:
"There is no use in trying," said Alice, "One cannot believe impossible things."
"I dare say you haven't had much practice," said the Queen. "When I was your age, I always did if for half an hour a day. Why, sometimes I've believed in as many as six impossible things before breakfast."
Alice: "...I simply must get through."
Doorknob: "Sorry, you're too big. Simply impassible."
Alice: "You mean impossible?"
Doorknob: "No, impassible. Nothings impossible."
Best for last:
Mark 9:22-24 NIV
"'...But if you can do anything, take pity on us and help us."
"If you can?" said Jesus. "Everything is possible for him who believes." Immediately the boys father exclaimed, "I do believe, help me overcome my unbelief."
I am one of those people who really believe that anything can happen through the strength of Christ. And I am convinced that I would not be one of those people if I had been too prideful to fall on my knees and pray, "I believe, help me overcome my unbelief."
It's never too late to ask for help believing that you can and will be helped and therefore healed.
What do you face that appears impossible? Are you willing to believe that God will bring you further than your current circumstances?
