Three weeks ago, I shared about the therapy I have been receiving to overcome the trauma of being shot at with a cap gun.
I have been attending my trauma treatment program daily. I have been going on exposure sessions with my occupational therapist (OT). I have been doing all the “homework” that my OT assigns me, and pushing the boundaries of what I feel I can do. Most importantly, I have been praying.
Today, I am excited to announce that I have moved 26 blocks closer to my workplace. As I looked down at my feet on that brick sidewalk I was in awe. Twenty-six blocks is HUGE progress. I’ve accomplished this in just three weeks! I’m reclaiming my city. I’m reclaiming my life. I’ve come so far. I’m moving forward and it feels great.

Thank you Robin for the encouraging words (and thank you for sharing scripture). Joshua 1:9 is one of the scriptures that I meditate on for strength and encouragement.

I just went back and read your posts on what happened. Wow. I can’t imagine how I’d react if anything like that ever happened to me. I know I would be so traumatized. I’m very happy to hear that you are starting to recover and doing well! I know it has been a long road, but you are doing such a great job and I know you will conquer this! Will keep you in my thoughts and prayers :)

Jennifer,
It is so good you are facing this with help instead of hiding for the rest of your life. Good for you. Is there more on fb? I won’t be going there, so I hope I am not missing out on part of your posts. I have a fb page, don’t go there often and only have a page because of pressure.
All my posts come here first. Facebook is where I also share resources, funnies, inspiration, etc. that I’ve found.
