4 years

Well, here we are again at another anniversary of the beginning of my journey towards freedom from my eating disorder. Four years ago this week I checked myself into Remuda Ranch for the most incredible and life-changing 60 days. Again, I just want to take a moment to thank Jesus for the victory that He has given me and how He has sustained me these last 4 years. They haven't always been easy and there have been times where it would have been easier to succumb, but I held onto Him and He delivered me. I give glory and honor to the Lord!

I, too, thank my parents for the financial sacrifice they made so that I could get the help I needed. I am so blessed by the parents that I have and how God has used them in my life. Thanks Mom and Dad....you're the best!! Thanks, too, to my sisters for their unending support, prayers, encouragement, and love. You're my best friends!!

My friends were also amazing. They (particularly Lees and crew) sent me cards, called, and drove down to Chandler to see me. I am blessed to have them in my life.

To my sisters from treatment: I am praying for you and hope that you continue to fight the good fight. Victory is possible and recovery can be a reality.

To those who struggle: the road to recovery is long and hard, but it is worth it and it can be navigated. Know that I pray for all who struggle with ED and that there is help out there. Remuda Ranch is an amazing facility that changed my life.

Four years...wow.  I am not the same person I was and I expect that I'll be a different person on my 5th anniversary. I am excited to see what the Lord has for me in the coming year...
