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!

Happy Mother's Day













A Mother's Day wish for you:
Whether you birthed them, adopted them, foster them or babysit them,
Whether you change diapers, teach words, change behaviors or school them,
Whether you have one or two or three or multiples of them,
This Mother's Day wish is for you.
I wish you big hugs when celebrations abound.
I wish you great joy when what's lost is finally found.
I wish you abundant prayer until their feet find solid ground
.
I wish you God's peace in the midst of the storms.
I wish you God's patience when filling out those forms.
I wish them God's safety while living in their dorms.
In all of this I wish for you,
In all of this I pray comes true,
For you're a Mom who gives her all,
Not just on one day but on them all.
Happy Mother's Day!!
