The word "healing" totally caught my attention from the very first meeting with the guests who were at Mary’s Guest House. During my welcome dinner, a staff asked one of the guests: "How are you today?" She had just finished the first therapy session that day, after about three minutes of breathing, she shared that she was absolutely drained and shaken. Her body expression was even stronger than what she said, as she kept squeezing her fingers over and over again. It is undoubtedly difficult and often painful to look back on one's past, especially when they did not choose it. And if we want that healing to happen for every guest, it takes time. I realized at that moment that ministering at Mary’s Guest House would not be easy at all.
