Healing is possible

I heard a saying today that has led me on a path of thinking about the word healing. Does healing mean that the problems we are facing are never something we face again or does healing mean that we just don't dwell on the problem, issue or struggle anymore? I believe that healing comes in many forms and fashions. I love the song by Laura Story called "Blessings". It talks about how blessings come through our tears, our failings, our hurts as well as the joys of life. Do you agree? I know sometimes we think that healing or blessings means that everything goes perfectly for us in this life, but that is just not reality. Reality means we are going to face struggles, pain, hurt as well as joyous times in our lives but no matter what we face, God is always with us. He will never leave us nor forsake us. Hebrews 13:5. Always remember that God's plan may not always make sense to us, but the finished product will always be best.

Welcome

Welcome to my blog. I am an avid book lover, writer and lover of Jesus Christ. My first love is always God and Jesus, then my family and then my career. I love to lead others to the freedom that God freely gives when we lay all of our trials, hurts and fears at the feet of Jesus. Healing is possible.

I have been married to Mike for almost 29 years. We have two sons and three grandchildren, who are blessings to our lives. I have lived in Texas all of my life. I have struggled with fear all of my life, from my earliest memories. I don't know what caused the fear to take root but it is something I still struggle with at times even at the age of 46 years old. I believe all things are possible with God and I know that Romans 8:28 is true in my life. Sometimes bad things happen but I believe that even through bad things in our life, we can still bring glory to God through helping others walk through their trials.

I am thankful for my grandmother, Neenie always making sure that I knew of Jesus Christ and that He loved me. She made sure I was in church and is the person that led me to the Lord. She was the grandmother that everyone wished that they had in their lives, but I was one of the lucky few that could say I did.
