Hello. My name is “Dorothy” (for privacy and confidentiality reasons this is not my real name). The reason I have started this blog is to help people overcome the challenges they are facing in life.
My own story is one of childhood trauma which led to me having mental health problems in later years.
It was on one of my admissions to a mental health ward that I found my Christian faith when a fellow patient led me to the Lord.
Becoming a Christian was a real turning point in my life and has made such a huge difference. It was on this admission to hospital, when I became a Christian, that I felt God put it on my heart to work there. At the time my self esteem was so low that I never thought that I would be able to do this. However, four years later, I found myself working at this very same hospital. If you had told me that God would take me from being a patient at this hospital to working there, I would never have believed you. But, with God, anything is possible.
At the time of starting this blog, I have worked at this hospital as a support worker for the past 18 years. The ward where I work is also physically the same place where I gave my life to Christ.
With this blog, I hope to share with you some of my story and how my Christian faith has helped me along the way. In doing so, I really hope that this inspires and encourages you to overcome any challenges and difficulties you are facing on your faith walk/journey.
With any problem, there really is only one solution. The solution is not found in alcohol, drugs, sex, food, shopping etc but is found in Jesus Christ. Only Jesus Christ can fill that void shaped hole in our lives. I hope and pray that you too find the peace and comfort that having a Christian faith can bring to you.
