“Fear not: for I have redeemed thee, I have called thee by thy name; thou art mine… I will be with thee… For I am the LORD thy God, the Holy One of Israel, thy Savior.”
Jamie Johnson, participant in the Warrior Women of Light program shares in vulnerability, her deeply sacred healing journey with Karen Broadhead, Director of Mothers Who Know and the Parent Support Specialist for Life Changing Services.
Sometimes it is impossible to explain why bad things happen to good, innocent people. “You are not defined by these terrible things that have been done to you. You are, in glorious truth, defined by your eternally existing identity as a son or daughter of God.” Elder Patrick Kearon
A wife, mother, therapist, musician, artist, lover of cats and bunnies, and brave survivor.
Jamie shares with such courage her story of long-suffering and journey of discovering how to apply the atonement of Jesus Christ to the healing she needed after years of abuse. Her unique story is one we don’t want to believe is real. It hasn’t been an easy road for this sweet, powerful, warrior sister who developed Dissociative Identity Disorder to cope with her hardship.
Jamie desires to share her story because over the years she has come to recognize who she is in her story as she came to understand she was more than the bad things that have happened to her…SHE IS HIS! She wants you to know that your story also matters. Her hope is that you will be inspired to fight to heal, even if your story is unique or unusual, by listening to her story. She knows what it feels like to feel different.
“It’s okay if your story is not the typical story because Heavenly Father knows you. He knows your story. He knows you by name, and you matter. Your unique story matters!”
No matter how big and unique, or small and mundane your challenges seem, Jamie, thinks it’s important that you know, you can get through this, it’s the same things that help, it’s not going to be easy and it’s not going to work alone. You can’t do it by yourself!
Jamie has come to trust the kindness and love she receives in Warrior Women of Light. She also appreciates the accountability, the spiritual border patrol actions, and mindful tools. The approach of line upon line, small simple step learning has brought her more sobriety and greater self-compassion in her healing.
Jamie noticed that part of her journey to healing was to understand how to apply the Savior's atonement. She had been taught the steps of repentance but realized that she had never learned the steps of healing. We don’t need to repent of things that are forced upon us, or things that are outside our control, but we need to fight to heal.
“Those experiencing abuse, violence, or oppression may ask if they are beyond repair or are eligible for the blessings of the Savior’s Atonement. Whatever has happened to you, He is not ashamed of you or disappointed in you. He loves you in a way you have yet to discover. And you will discover it as you trust in His promises…Our merciful Savior, victorious over darkness and depravity, has the power to right all wrongs.” Elder Patrick Kearon
Jamie references Elder Patrick Kearon’s General Conference talk on April 2, 2022, “He Is Risen With Healing in His Wings: We Can Be More Than Conquerors” We also encourage you to also consider it if you have been abused and need the Saviors healing power in your life. https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/study/general-conference/2022/04/24kearon?lang=eng
