Recovery

I celebrate that recovery is a reality. God equipped somebody to help me. Going forward I pray that I might equip others as God helped me.

Sun House was a big part of it. I felt real lost as I was cast out of the hospital with others in the name of mental health reform that sought recovery in the context of community.
I am glad for the vision. There was a manager named Declan Smith who had great expectations of me and others. He was what I needed, a woman could not of done the job, I had been hurt too much in the past to trust. In time I would get counselling to heal the wounds. Healing takes time.

Recovery taught me I was a poet, a good worker, a cook, a problem solver and friend. And with support I became the minister I longed to be. There is hope. I pray God uses me to help others recover hope. How will this happen? Only time will tell.
