A LITTLE scared to do this, but I feel called to do it. First of all, I do not see this success as mine but of the Lord's. I want to give Him thanks and show everyone that He cares about ALL our needs and desires. He will meet all of our ne
eds. Even if we do not get our desires, He loves us enough to acknowledge them,too.
Most of my childhood was like a nightmare. I went through incest and physical and emotional abuse. Those around me took out their anger and emotional pain out on me. Though it hurt, I can look back now with God's mercy and compassion and see that hurt people hurt people. Because of all the abuse, I basically shut myself inside. I barely talked or interacted when I was in middle school. But through books by Malcom X, Maya Angelou and Toni Morrison, God gave me hope. And when I learned of Oprah's story, I heard His whisper to get up and live again when I was in8th grade. Ever since then, my goal has been to be successful and free from the past so that one day I can help other abused victims. I am actually doing that now at my current job in Africa, which I am thankful for. The road has not been easy. God has saved me from a suicide attempt during my senior year of college. He has paid my way around the world when I had limited support. I fought depression and attacks by others this year. But He has made me the victor. God you are truly Good. Usually when people attack my self-worth, I regress but this time because I trusted Him , He got me through the valley. And though I am slipping, flopping and struggling now, I will not give up as long as I know there is God. He is truly my father. And I know that He will give me the full victory.
Whatever you may be going though, know that He loves you and wants to help you. Let Him in. Your burden or pain may be great but He will make it manageable for you. Thank you Lord.
I hope I have not offended anyone. I'm not trying to impose my faith on anyone. But just in case , there is someone out there who is suffering or drowning in pain, you have a friend in God. He loves us all and hopes for the best for each one of us. Though I spent most of college hating and being angry at God, He still held me and kissed each of my wounds. I don't know why those bad things happened to me. And I don't think there is any good reason for it to had happen. But He is using what should have killed me to make me great by being a testimony for others to hold on to hope when all seems bleak and hopeless.
And you can also message me if you need support or prayers. Thanks for letting me share. God Bless,
K
P.S. ITs NEVEr too late to turn back to Him

What an awesome testimony girl... God is truly amazing and im sure this will help someone... I went thorough many years of depresseion and self hate, and contemplated suicide on many occasions... BUT GOD!... He truly heals our wounds, and turns out mess into a MESSage.. to help others.... Without God I would not be here today. I would have no joy, no hope, no purpose. But His LOVE IS AMAZING.....Keep trusting in Him girl. He is your Source of Stength.. ours... This time around I am leaning on Him in this weight loss journey..........it took me a while to get serious with this. I would know God was not pleased everytime i ate KFC or put some other junk in my body..... but i still did. But this time is the last.... a real lifestyle change to really take care of this temple that God has given me. I would cry many times and ask God why He made me fat.... I was truly upset with Him.... but thank God the truth prevails against satans lies. I knwo now that through Him i have the strength to change, I have the strength because His word says "Greater is He that is in me" and He is in me.....im now so at peace!
Girl you just did something so awesome with this post, you wouldnt believe.... thanks for sharing and I pray God will keep you under His wings.! Gods Richest Blessings.0 -
thanks so much. I felt like I needed to share today. i think the reason that I have been struggling with my wl is because I have become so self-absorbed. And I need to help people out there. God has gotten me through this not only for myself but to help others.0

Whoever brings blessing will be enriched, and one who waters will himself be watered.
Proverbs 11:25
AND:
Romans Chapter 8
22 For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now.
23 And not only they, but ourselves also, which have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption, to wit, the redemption of our body.
24 For we are saved by hope: but hope that is seen is not hope: for what a man seeth, why doth he yet hope for?
25 But if we hope for that we see not, then do we with patience wait for it.
26 Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.
27 And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints according to the will of God.
28 And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.0 -
yes and Amen!
i can do all things through Christ who strengthens me! philippians 4:13

Awesome you look great0

You are such a inspiration and thank you for the post it reminded me that nothing is to GREAT for my GOD!0

First of all thanks everyone. Second, I do not want to front and pretend all is great because I still struggle even until now. The past two weeks have been really hard. Some days I worked out and eat well and others I just binged. Today was def. a binged. My binges are not as bad as the 298 days but its bad for where I am. But the blessing in disguise is that I get easily sick from it and full. But i keep pushing to eat more and then just get reminded this is not me anymore. And all your asking for is death if you keep going. So at least now I know this is not the really me but Satan trying to capture my soul. Before going to bed, I will layout my new plan for the rest of year and perhaps the beginning of next year.
Lastly, if anyone needs help or support especially those in the beginning of their wl please do not hesitate to friend. And please add message so I know what kind of help and support you need. i am no expert or anything. But I have learned somethings thru this journey.0 -
that is BRAVERY and HONESTY and COURAGE right there. you are amazing and deserve all the accolades you can get! plus this healthy lifestyle, duh!!!0
