I am blessed to be able to work with women who share a common affliction. The medication is simple. First give up, second believe in God and then reach out to others. The reach out to others is often missed because we are so caught up in our pain that we simply don't think we have anything left to give. But alas, praying only for the ability to be of service to others is what brings relief, healing, peace and joy.
This simple truth is what has led us into missions. Not because we have it all figured out (actually far from) or even that we have been relieved of our suffering but instead it is in being in community with others, being service to others, where we find peace, joy and serenity in this crazy life.
