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!

His Strength Is Perfect

Today has been a physically challenging day.  I've been very active, pushing my body and stretching it to do more than it wants.  I'm very tired yet feel a sense of satisfaction.

This is a short writing.  I'm on my way to my sister's to do some baking with my nieces.  We'll socialize tonight then bake tomorrow.  They are very excited!  I'm very tired so I have to push myself to be "up."

Here's a song that always lifts my spirit.
I hope it lifts yours, too.
