Get Inspired Into Healing

Say Goodbye to the Me You Knew | My God Story

I’ve learned to hear God in many ways, and one of them is through an urging of my heart. Lately, that urging has led to make amends with people I have hurt, and share gratitude with people who have helped me. It’s like I’m bidding my farewells in preparation for my death—but don’t worry, nobody’s taking me Home just yet!

Death, after all, is not always a bad thing. God gives life and he takes it away. He also gives seasons and he takes them away. That’s what’s dying in my life: my season of focusing on my inner healing.

It’s been dying for a long time, the past six months, in fact. God has been telling me for a while that I need to change my mindset from one focused on healing to one that enjoys my life.

That’s a hard transition.

If I was a naval ship, I have been in the yard for refit since 2014. In that time, I’ve become a master at finding a symptom of an issue, rooting out its cause, and putting all hands on deck to fix it ASAP. I’ve done over 30 therapies for my body, soul, and spirit, experienced healing that I don’t think anyone else in the world has ever experienced, and I can now do it quickly—like things other people may overcome in a couple of years through focused work, I can overcome in a couple of weeks.

I’ve become a professional “healee”.

But now, the ship is almost ready to be seafaring, again. (LOL, I’m probably using these terms incorrectly, but I’m trying. Thanks, Navy Times!) So, what to do?

Have a ceremony, thank all of those who work on her in the yard, break a bottle on her bow as she pulls out of the yard and sails away.

It’s time to launch this ship!
