There You Are

There You Are
So often, when I am in a crowd of people, I feel alone. 

Once upon a time, I was loud, “the life of the party,” a stranger to no one.

Then, life...

Life can knock the wind out of us, break our hearts and bring us to our knees.

As I find my way back, I am learning so much about myself and others. 

A dear friend just put into words what I could not.

There are “here I am” people and “there you are” people.

“Here I am” people walk into a room and make it all about them.

“There you are” people walk into a room and notice others, care for them and long to enter into deep and heartfelt conversation.

Let’s be “there you are” people!

Let’s go deeper and find the richness of true relationship.

“Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves, not looking to your own interests but each of you to the interests of the others." Philippians 2:3-4


My Story

 
Held & Healed.

I have always had a sense of Jesus' presence in my life and have felt held by Him.

Healed is what I will be when I meet Him face to face. 

The here and the now is the "&," as I am learning, healing, and growing every day.

I am a survivor of abuse of every kind, in childhood and adulthood.

In 2015, I was stricken with a mysterious and terrifying virus that "woke up" many other viruses in my body.

Since that time, I have been fiercely fighting for my healing and the healing of others.

I was also diagnosed with c-PTSD, as a result of lifelong trauma and abuse.

As I began to search for healing resources for myself, I knew that this journey wasn't just about me.

I created a group, Held & Healed: Christian Women Rebuilding After Abuse, which has grown to almost 4,000 members.

I launched the Held & Healed podcast which is a resource of resources. 

If you are a Christian woman who is rebuilding your life after abuse, I invite you to join me on this healing journey.
