Healing Blogs - Add Yours to the List
So many wonderful people have created blogs during their healing journey; and as they continue to write through recovery what they experience, learn, struggle with and rejoice in.
One thing that is very important to people who are healing is encouragement to endure. Healing usually hurts and people who have been hurt already don't want to have to hurt again or any more, but you have to see healing as exiting the door of the trauma so that you can experience victory. We need others who understand us. Do you see the add link button, click it and add your blog to be on this collection of healing blogs.
Let me explain why this can be so helpful for you to list your link above:
When you are wounded, you enter into a doorway of pain. You are inside that place and it is painful. Many of us close the door to cope so that what happen stays inside and so that we can survive another day. When we finally come to a point in our life where we are safe, we can begin healing and choose to open a door. Of course this is the best way, when opening the door of pain is our choice because the timing is right and we are ready to heal.
Frankly, many of us don't get that luxury, because life issues in our present or recent life TRIGGER a door of pain to open suddenly. We are frightened. We freeze, feel heavy in our limbs, our chest presses tight under weight, numbness tingles parts of our body, and sharp piercing aches can bend us over in suffering. We sometimes get nauseated, start to gag, experience a wave of rolling movement of heat, coldness or motion through our body. These and many other symptoms like these are responses to the previous initial wound that caused trauma in our life. To get stable we hurry to slam shut the door, and trembling we rush to nail wooden boards across the entrance and hang canary yellow "do not enter" warning tape.
If you are a Christian, you should trust God with your healing journey.
Pray asking Him to lead you step by step to the doorway that He wants you to enter. His timing is perfect and most importantly He will never leave you in the process. When God asks you to open a door of your painful past He is doing this so that you can finally walk out of that doorway you entered so many years ago when you first were traumatized.
I will not lie; walking through will be painful...but it is the only way to get out. You must walk through the trial and trust God to be there with you. Only He knows exactly what you need because He was there when it happen. He knows what you need to be set free, and to receive victory. Yes, freedom and victory are on the outside of that painful doorway that you must cross through to get out.
Some people have a few doorways to pain (specific painful traumatic abusive incidents in their life); other people have hundreds or thousands. No one has the right to tell you to get over it, because no one knows what you must "get over" or really "get through" expect for God.
I encouraging fellow bloggers who write about their healing to list your blog above in this post, and I then take time to visit other bloggers on their healing journey. Consider dropping in every now and then to see how its going and to encourage them.
Fellow healing souls most frequently know best what to say, and speak the language of trauma we uniquely share. We understand each other, with little explanation, because we have been there--we relate--we know first hand.
Blogging is a wonderful way to walk with others in healing and to help some get started and to celebrate with other as their healing testimony builds. I am so encouraged by reading about the progress, or even to know how others struggle as they work through the pain. It helps to know we are not alone in the world, to know that other people care, to know that we are not out of our mind--we are pushing forward to save our soul and to become who God created us to be originally... but many other brave souls are on a similar journey.
