My Healing Journey 2024-2025
On Saturday I began my new year. That was my birthday, and I am really expectant that this year will be much better than the last one! I haven’t written in My Healing Notes very much over the past two years, but I feel like I want to document my healing journey now.
Looking back I can see that I have been under tremendous stress over the past few years. Last year all of those horrendous experiences culminated in a very big malignant breast tumor. Yes, this is the third time I am going down this road. But this time, I am doing it differently. I am handling it differently. And if you are on this particular road with me, I hope we can encourage each other. So, bit by bit, a little each day, I will document this journey this year, and hopefully this time next year we can celebrate our successes together.
I think is healthy to acknowledge the trauma we have been through. To look at it from this distance out, to accept that while it was horrible, it can no longer hurt us. We are safe now. We can move forward. We can look forward to being healthy and strong again. We are not handcuffed to our emotions. We are more than capable of experiencing and giving forgiveness and of being free.
So for this day, I will see what new things await. As God says in Isaiah 43:18,19: “Do not call to mind the former things, Or consider things of the past. Behold, I am going to do something new, Now it will spring up; Will you not be aware of it? I will even make a roadway in the wilderness, Rivers in the desert.”
