I’m linking up with Amanda to share Rachel’s story today!  Rachel’s story is so compelling.   She’s a lover of karate.  She’s a lover of Jesus.  She’s passionate, joyful, happy, excited about life, and she’s also walking the road of recovery from eating disordered thoughts and from orthorexia.   Rachel opened up and shared her...Read More »

I’m linking up with Amanda for Haley to share her story on the podcast today.  It seemed so fitting that Amanda was writing about food freedom for today’s TOLT too!  One of my favorite bloggers wrote a hard post last year.  I interviewed Haley at the beginning of the podcast about her recovery story.  But...Read More »

Exercising is usually supposed to be a healthy thing in most cases.   At least that’s what I thought when I first started riding the stationary bike about 10 years ago.   Yet, it became an obsession.  It became literally, my idol.   I couldn’t do without it; it was like a drug.   I...Read More »

Relationships are SO IMPORTANT!  They are; they’re a gift from God.  We were made for friendship, made for relationship.  Often in recovery we forget that; we think we’re alone.  We think we’re alone.  We think nobody will understand.  But that’s a lie from the devil.   Jesus came to bring us back into relationship, and...Read More »

This is going to be a fun one.  I loved listening to Georgie’s end of the year podcast and the things she learned this past year of 2017.  It made me think.  What did we learn this year?  What were the lessons you learned?  Did you find freedom?  This year I had the blessing of...Read More »

Thank you Naomi SOO much for all the beautiful photos!   Be still.   God says this so many times to His people in the Word when they’re distressed, when things seem TERRIBLE.   Exodus 14:14 is a verse that I’ve often meditated on this year as I’ve wrestled with anxiety, anxiety over not doing...Read More »

Being present.  This is kind of the ‘buzz term’ that I see going around on Instagram after people take a few days off of social media, and I like it.  I’ve been learning about it so much this past year, and I’ve learned that being present is wonderful.  Being present is something I took for granted...Read More »

Spiritual warfare.  It’s real, and I believe that a lot of the battle faced in eating disorder recovery is not something that is seen.   As a Christian, a Jesus follower, I know that Satan does not like my master Jesus.  Satan doesn’t like him, because Jesus crushed Satan’s head on the cross and through...Read More »

Linking with Amanda and the other blogger friends to share this for Thinking out Loud Thursday! This is a huge huge topic for me, and it doesn’t seem huge, but it is. That’s why I’m doing this week’s podcast on this topic.  It came to my mind last week when my sister and I were...Read More »

I used to have such a terror/fear/dread come upon me especially during the holidays.   Thanksgiving was a SCARY holiday for me.  I thought I would go out of control eating all the food.  I couldn’t see the food without it being terrifying to me. Enjoying the holidays was not something I was able to...Read More »
