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!

Having God In My Life

Having God in my life is the greatest source of comfort.
He quiets the noise inside my mind.
He clears out the wreckage of my past.
He prepares me for a future known only to Him.

Having God in my life is the greatest source of wisdom.
He gave the Holy Spirit when I asked Jesus to be my Savior.
He wrote the Bible as my instruction book.
He wrote the Proverbs as reminders.

Having God in my life is the greatest source of creation.
He made the heavens and the earth; the sun and the moon;
the sky and the land; all the animals on the ground, in the water and in the sky;
all vegetation; and man and woman.
He did not make any mistakes.
He pronounced everything good.

Having God in my life is the greatest source of love.
He brings deep feelings of affection during times of loneliness.
He wraps His loving arms around me when I am in emotional or physical pain.
He draws the best love out of me toward others by showing me how much
He loves me through others.

Having God in my life is the greatest source of everything.
My life is complete in Him.
All my hopes,
All my dreams,
All my fears and
Everything my future holds is in His capable hands.
