Wounded Spirits

A quote I heard last night...

"You get hurt in life without even trying, but you can never get better without an intentional focus on steps to your healing" (something like that).

The point is, hurts come whether we want them or not. Healing only comes if we want it and actively pursue it! What a beautiful insight and something I've not really thought of before.

Last night, Steph and I went to an info night on a course we will be starting in a couple of weeks. We will be going through "Search for Life" which is part of Careforce Lifekeys. I think this will be heavy involving 4 hrs (including travel) on Wednesday nights for 10 weeks. A huge committment for which I am grateful she is willing to partake in with me.

The goal is to bring our experiences back to SM in the fall and facilitate the experience for others. The other night, I was awakened from my sleep with a deep, deep, impression that this is going to be paramount to the future health and growth of SM. An experience like no other to put handles on this Jesus business.

praying for you both.
healing is hard, and it so often takes a community.

You will absolutely love this course. I am seven weeks into it and will train to be a facilitator when I've completed the course. Be prepared to learn some things about yourself, some of which may not be easy to face-but it so worth the journey! My prayers are with you both-LB
