does your weight define you?

writing for five minutes on identity

talking with husband late
in the night
remembering the desert time
when i was ill
and
i am
overwhelmed
with
gratitude
that my identity
no longer lies in my
weight
but in christ
and his glory

pray for me on saturday morning as i speak with women about eating disorders? my hope is to bring hope and to keep my "ummms" to a bare minimum.

  9. just fot finished praying Eph. 6:19over you....words to be given you so that you will fearlessly make known the mystery of the gospel. As you share your story and how God has freed you up in this area of eating/not eating I pray for His name to be glorified. For you to have confidence in speaking and our ears and hearts to be wide open to what the Spirit has for us.
    P.S. I can't wait to meet you!!!!
