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!

Take Care of Myself

Dear God,

I don't feel well.  I've been sluggish and now a migraine.  This cold weather is dreary and a little depressing.  My new kitty is doing great.  She's so sweet and cuddly.

I'm anxious to meet with Dr. Didenko.  I don't know what he's going to say.  I will listen to his opinion then assert my own.  Not to be mean but to participate in my mental health recovery.

I really just wanted to say thank you.  I'm receiving gifts from you each and every day.  I'm amazed at how often you think of me and provide perfectly for my needs.

Love Amy
