MY JOURNEY WITH AN EATING DISORDER
I was born into a loving Christian family. I was surrounded by a large, connected extended family and a strong church community. I grew up hearing I had a God who loved me. But somehow in the midst of that good life, I missed something. I expended a lot of energy trying to live up to the expectations of others and in the process began to live a dual life. Though I looked really good on the outside I was aware of the darkness in my heart and soul and this darkness led me down a path to bulimia. Putting an end to the practice of bulimia took me 9 years. Dealing with the inner turmoil of my life took longer. The turning point was reading God’s Word with fresh eyes and believing it to be true. I’d love the opportunity to share my story and the power of God’s word to transform your life. It has transformed mine.
Who Is This For: Anyone needing to be encouraged that there is a God who loves them and who wants them to live in freedom from shame and the feeling they are “less than”.
