An encouragement to me through this process of leaving "no stone gently unturned" as we walk "slowly but surely through the dark and scary places in the healing light and freedom that comes through Christ." Wow. I also really appreciate your pointing me to another "light" at the end of the tunnel, one I hadn't really considered before: the potential of emerging not only with healed wounds, but as a "wounded healer." Remarkable! I can't say that's been the message I've carried away from the secular counsel world. Not by a long shot. Only God can work that kind of restoration! Thanks for reminding me. He can do way beyond what we even ask or imagine . . .<br /><br />May He continue to bless you, and Creekside,<br />~AGrateful Hearthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01825009821948455938noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-684802537865104750.post-39376246103150348232012-12-31T14:42:18.078-05:002012-12-31T14:42:18.078-05:00Beautiful and inspiring!!
