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 Alone

Dear God,

 Thank you for my session with Faith.  I feel renewed.  I stopped shaking by the end of it.  Her presence is very soothing.

 I gave her a copy of our book with the updates.  I began weaving you into it.  It wasn't hard.

 I'm feeling kind of crummy.  Just want to curl up on the couch and watch a movie.  I've done enough for today.  Tomorrow I start group with Faith teaching.  I'm nervous.  I'm sure I'll be okay for the next 10 weeks.

 I love you.

 Your scared daughter,
Amy Kathleen
