Just a thought by coppi

Nineteenth-century Scottish minister John MacDuff was right: when you can’t trace God’s hand, trust his heart.

Henri Nouwen made popular the concept of the “wounded healer,” the person who helps others with the same struggles they have experienced personally.

When I started writing “Just a  thought by coppi” many years ago, I wrote about how I made it through the difficulties in life.  I journalized emotions of pain and joy.  I then started out emailing them to different ones who asked me to put them on my email list. My list became very lengthy.  I had to be vulnerable and truthful. Years past, when a friend asked if I would consider putting them in a book.  I had a friend who made that happen after a lot of preparation, etc. I kept praying and writing about thoughts of my life experiences enough that another book was published. Another friend wanted me to start a blog.  I did.  My desire was to help others going through difficult times, as mine, and praying my experiences would catapult them into knowing someone out there made it to the mountain top by holding tightly to the hand of Jesus.  He carried me.  Still does.
