I realize that I am 2 whole months behind and my camera is bursting with pictures (although not near as many as I would like). I promise to update soon- when I can find the time!
However, as I was writing in my journal today, I realized that I needed to give a public praise for what God has done in me specifically. For those of you who don't know, I struggled with anorexia nervosa as a young teen- it started when I was 14 years old. They say that an eating disorder is like being an alcoholic- once one, always one. I refused to believe that but over the years was beginning to wonder if it weren't true. I was not in the deep pit that I once was, in fact on the brink of self-imposed death, but I continued to struggle for years- it has been 11 years in fact. Eleven years of filling my mind with negative and all together selfish thoughts.
But I can now say that I am completely and totally healed! God is soooooooo good!!!! And what's amazing is that I had not even realized it. God allowed Caroline to give me a sense of purpose beyond myself and to truly understand that my body (as well as my mind) is a temple and that I must care for it. If you only knew the darkness that had been my thoughts, that weaved in and out of everything that I did for the past 11 years then you could truly rejoice with me.
I am 100% free, thanks be to God! For giving me my wonderful husband and daughter who have helped to set me free. I felt this morning that I must sing His praises for only He can set you free. And when He does, you are free indeed!
P.S. I promise to post pictures soon.
Oh the grace and peace that come from knowing Jesus. So happy for your revelation! I miss you sweet friend.
