Hi Everyone, welcome to the Journey 2 Healing blog where the idea is that we make the journey towards emotional healing together. My name is Stephanie. You can read more about me in the “About Me” column to the right. For now, let’s talk about healing and the journey we’re about to take together.
The very notion of needing “healing” suggests a wound of some kind. If a child falls and scrapes her knee, as parents we pick her up, clean the wound, maybe put some healing ointment on it, perhaps a band aid, and nurse it back to health. If a man on his job falls from a high ladder and sustains severe internal injuries his coworkers get him to the hospital emergency room as quickly as possible. There the doctors assess his injuries, perform surgery if necessary and instructs the nurses on how to nurse him back to health. But when your heart and soul is wounded, what do you do? To whom do you go? How do you get that fixed? I suggest to you that only the Creator of the heart can heal a broken one. And just like it takes a mother to help heal a child’s wound or coworkers to get their friend to the healer, each of us can help one another make that journey to God for healing. That’s what this blog is all about, helping each other towards emotional healing.
Whether you’ve been slandered on your job, felt the betrayal of a spouse, endured the abandonment of a parent, the death of a loved one, suffered the loss of a friendship or the consequences of bad choices, no matter how large or small your emotional wounds may be, healing is available for them. Throughout this blog I plan to share the experience of my journey with you, with hopes that you will share yours with us too, so that we can each learn from and support one other. In addition I’d like to share a daily text or quote, a song and maybe some pics for encouragement. Feel free to share your favorite texts, quotes, songs and pics as well!
Now, before I close out this entry today, let me just say- as we begin this journey together I ask that if you choose to become a part of this journey that you will be respectful of the others on this journey. Be mindful that we may not all believe or think the same yet we share the common bond of pain for which we all seek healing. Please, no derogatory, antagonistic, or lewd comments and no foul language. The subject matter we talk about on this blog may be sensitive in nature and such language or comments will be detrimental to our journey. Thank you for understanding.
Peace and Blessings to you all,
Stephanie
