Still Standing, Still Healing

Welcome to 

Still Standing, Still Healing

Thank you for visiting this space. This blog was created out of my desire to share a story that for many years was hidden in the shadows—a story of medical trauma, survival, pain, questions, and ultimately, faith in Jesus Christ. My journey has not been easy. There have been decades of suffering, confusion, and searching for healing. But I also know that in the midst of deep pain, there is a God who sees, who comforts, and who lifts us out of the shadows.

The theme verse for this blog comes from 2 Corinthians 1:3–4 (NLT):

“All praise to God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. God is our merciful Father and the source of all comfort. He comforts us in all our troubles so that we can comfort others. When they are troubled, we will be able to give them the same comfort God has given us.”

The title of this blog, Still Standing, Still Healing, reflects where I am today. I am still standing because God has carried me through circumstances that could have crushed me. And I am still healing because His work in me is ongoing—layer by layer, moment by moment. Healing is not a one-time event; it is a journey, and it is possible through Him.

A Wish for You

The purpose of this blog is not just to tell my story, but to inspire you with the truth that God offers more than comfort and compassion—He offers healing. Over the years, I have tried many modalities of help. Some were costly, and some did provide support for a season. They are part of my story, and as I continue writing, you’ll see them appear in my posts. But the truth is, none of those things brought me the healing I longed for. None of them transformed me.

What I have discovered, even if it has taken me fifty-nine years to arrive here, is that God’s promise is different. Through Christ, He brings true transformation—not just a change of heart, but a change of mind. I have witnessed miracles of healing in my own life that could only have come through Him.

My wish for you is that, as you read each post, you would be inspired to believe the same for yourself. You have a Creator who loves you deeply. He understands your suffering and every emotion that flows from it. And in spite of any mistakes you’ve made—or continue to make, as I do—you are still loved, still held, and still able to heal.
