About This Blog

My blog shares my recovery journey from childhood abuse to living with mental illness. I've been involved in twelve step groups and therapy since 1982. I accepted Jesus as my Savior in 1988. To the best of my ability, I have followed where He wants me to go and what He wants me to do. Maybe you'll find the hope and strength you need through what I write. Maybe you want to stop hurting yourself. Maybe you have a friend who needs help and can benefit from my story. I was newly disabled when I asked God this question: "What do you want me to do with my life?" I closed my eyes and paused for a few moments to still my mind. This is what I sensed from Him: "Amy, I want you to write your story to bring hope and healing to those who are still suffering." And that's exactly what I am doing!

God Nearby

I'm feeling closer to God these days.  Not sure why.  I spent a small amount of time reading the Bible, I'm listening to more Christian music yet I still haven't made it to church.  Two out of three ain't bad.

I started writing again.  I'm working on Erik's personality.  So far I have it divided into four segments.  I'm trying to list who he was for each one.  How he felt, what he did, etc..  I'm hoping to have it done in the next couple of days then work on chapter two.

I'm pretty tired.  Not sure why.  I'm going to therapy and to group.  I'm doing what I need to do and getting done what I've been putting off.  I guess I'm just tired.

Don't have much else to say.
