Cripple Without Crutches
Often, there are days that I make it not only out of bed, but out of the house. Today is one. My husband and I are opening a bookstore and today I did a lot of things to make that goal a continued reality. This is exciting. I opened a door for a lady at Hobby Lobby...
Get a Grip
"Much-Afraid told herself that never before had she realized what the awakening from the death of winter was like." -Hannah Hurnard, Hind's Feet On High Places (pg. 112) It is particularly heart-wrenching for me to read those lines. Maybe because the dawn of spring...
Before the Dawn, By Cathy Terranova
Last spring I released a book of poetry, Before the Dawn. It is full of poems that express the feeling of being in the depths of healing. It comes highly recommended! http://www.lulu.com/shop/catherine-terranova/before-the-dawn/paperback/product-20976677.html Below is...
Getting Comfortable With Comfort

Ripped Out Stitches
Maybe I'm getting ahead of myself, but this is fresh, so it's what I'm going to share today. When you are healing, you are delicate. My doctor used to say, "It's like you come in here every week for open heart surgery, then at the end of your session you have to...
It’s Okay
Some days, it's okay that you can't get out of bed. That's when you remember making it to the couch is a blessing and getting out the door is nothing short of a miracle.
Do You Want To Be Healed?
John chapter five opens with a wonderfully simple example of Christ's method of healing.We see a lame man whom has been waiting 38 years to be healed by mystical waters. But he just can't get there. He's tried, in his own strength, but he can't make it. He tells...
In Doug’s Words…
Cathy: "I feel like in a lot of ways I've been a voice in the wilderness saying to the people outside, 'Hey! There's people in here!' and to the people inside, 'Hey! There's people out there!'" Doug: "Not to over simplify, but I feel like you're a voice in the...
