It seems to be time for an extended rest. This includes watching movies, possibly cutting a friend's grass and spending time with my little buddy Cao. He brings me so much joy!
I've been thinking about the next segment in God's book. I have a couple more experiences to write about in the third grade. Then it's on to fourth grade. I must print what I have thus far. I'm sure there are important parts of my beginning that I am missing.
My back is still a bit on the rocks. It seems going from a sitting position to standing is a bit tricky. I think I've figured out the strategy. It takes a couple of minutes to stand up right. I think walking has been helping. It's not locking up like it was a couple of days ago.
My appetite has decreased. Or it's what "normal" is. I'm rather liking it.
Back to rest.
"In this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while you may have had to suffer grief in all kinds of trials. These have come so that your faith, of greater worth than gold, which perishes even though refined by fire, may be proved genuine and may result in praise, glory and honor when Jesus Christ is revealed." (1 Pet 1:6-7 NIV)
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!
