Taking the Time to Heal
Donation protected
"Have you taken the time to heal?"
This was the question posed to me recently by one of my accountability partners. The answer was, "No, I'm too busy."
But it was the next question that floored me.
"You keep trying to take care of your girls, but how can you give them the best if you don't take care of yourself."
People keep asking what's happened in my life to bring me to the point of needing some time away. I would discribe the last two years as betrayal, loss, hurt, pain and repeat.
Whether through loss of a marriage, loss of a job, loss of my physical health, loss of friendships and loss of yet another place to live...
Yes, I understand that God is doing a work in me, and will heal me if I submit to the process. The thing is, before this was even a possibility I had to get to the end of myself, in order to see how hurt and weak I am.
This is why I am asking for your help. I need to enter fully into the process of healing.
Why Do I Need Funds:
I was recently introduced to a wonderful Pastor on the East Coast who has agreed to walk me through the healing process. Currently I am planning to cross the country twice for multi-week stays.
The funds will be used for travel expenses, room and board, as well as any unforseen costs.
I understand that some of you may not understand why this is necessary. Please feel free to privately contact me if you need more info.
