Chapter 10
Simple steps before the leap of faith
2 Peter 1:10 “Wherefore the rather, brethren, give diligence to make your calling and election sure: for if ye do these things, ye shall never fall:”
Before we get into the simple steps to take to begin the healing process, I first want to speak a little bit about what you must do after you are healed. I know it seems backwards to some degree, but I also believe in praising the Lord for healing before it has even come. That is why I want to begin this chapter with the things you must know and understand after you are healed. This way we are showing the Lord that we know we will be healed and believe it to such a degree that we want to begin preparing for it even before it happens. The Lord likes that kind of faith. So with all that said, let’s look into the (after the fact) of post healing living.
One of the things I enjoy doing is building and rebuilding things. I like rebuilding trucks and cars that are old and beaten up as well as building things out of wood. To take for example something that is rusted, worn-out and falling apart and make it like new is a very fulfilling feat. With anything that requires rebuilding, there must be a counting of the cost and the planning of the process. In restoring an old vehicle you do not paint it before you make sure the engine is first running fine and the undercarriage is sound. This is also the same premise in rebuilding a life torn apart by depression and anxiety. Dear friends the facts are that with radical depression and anxiety it can leave you with a mild to severe case of post traumatic stress disorder commonly referred to as PTSD. In simple terms, it’s the wounds that might have healed, but have not been forgotten. It is similar to a deep cut or incision from a surgery. The trauma to the body might be past and over, but the scar is forever there to remind you. Scars work two ways, one as a reminder of something you never want to forget or two as a reminder of something you want to forget but can’t. I don’t think that scars forming .............................................stay tuned for the rest when the book is out
