Freedom From Idolatry of Body and Food
I used to have certain ‘categories’ of food in my head. Icecream and chocolate and desserts were ‘unhealthy’ in my mind. And anything green or fruity or brown (if it was rice or bread) was ‘healthy.’
I love how Sarah and Robyn both often talk about how different foods can be healthy for your mind and body. These dietitians LIVE that food freedom out, and they are both some of my biggest inspirations for recovery.

In trials Jesus grows sweeter and sweeter to my soul; every time I have a trial I’m reminded of just how much I need Jesus. It’s like He knows how forgetful I am; and He uses these trials to bring me back to the fold. Yet, life has been… tough lately. I’m not coming on here to complain to you, because, honestly, my heart is more full of sober joy and hope than ever before and freedom. There has been a lot of the grief mixed with living in this world that still has sin in it. There have been deaths in our church body; these people are my family, very dear to me, sometimes hard for my sinful, weak self to love, but through Christ Jesus I have learned to love them more than I ever have before. My grandma just had a stroke, and my heart is burdened because she doesn’t know Jesus Christ, that she needs to be saved from her sin, and that that can only happen through repentance and believing on the Lord Jesus Christ.
