An Unintended Journey into the Mist…
Please follow my unintended journey as I review my past year as middle aged women pulled back into the seduction of an eating disorder. Follow me as I faded away into the mist and emerge back out into the light of the sun and the Son, Jesus Christ! 1 Corinthians 10:13...

Kate Moss was quoted at one point in her life as saying ” Nothing taste as good as skinny feels” I admittedly lived by this mantra as I fell back into the eating disorder last year. Each time I would reach for something, anything, to fill my empty body, I would repeat...

Am I Wonderfully Made?
Psalm 139:14 “I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well.” (NIV) I tell myself over and over again ” You are fearfully and wonderfully made.” But as I slip into my swimsuit this past weekend and again...
