I am a completely different person than I was a few years ago simply by applying the principles taught by the leadership at Remnant Fellowship and found so clearly in the Bible. I absolutely adore my husband and there is total peace in our home. I am completely DONE with bulimia. There is no going back. The peace and freedom are so real that it is hard to remember how enslaved I once was. My body is healthy! I am thinner than I was in high school and I don't rely on exercise to control my body. I sleep peacefully and wake up full of joy, eager to experience more of God. I have friendships that are genuine and SO much fun...the conversations are never about empty career aspirations. We look out for each other and always take the time to point each other back to God. There is much joy and laughter. I love my parents more and more and am constantly trying to think of ways to make their lives easier. God has given me new songs to sing and has blessed my hand at work. The Bible finally makes sense to me and I am getting quicker at finding God's lead. I could go on and on and on.

THE BEST DECISION I HAVE EVER MADE was to leave half-hearted Christianity and ALL the churches and ALL the teachings that had left me coming up short before God. Now I have found what I looked for my whole life. There is no telling how my life would have played out had I continued on the path that I was on. I would still be struggling with anxiety, depression, and bulimia. I would still be a lousy friend, since I would still be so focused on myself I wouldn't have time for anyone else. I would still be 20 pounds overweight, even though I would be sticking my finger down my throat and running 45 to 60 minutes everyday. Perhaps I would still be attending a 12-step program, with other miserable people, believing ourselves to be diseased. I really don't know if I would still have a husband, since my selfish ambition with a music career would have completely sacrificed my marriage at some point. Had I listened to the "Christian" therapists, and paid attention to the books recommended to me by my pastor, I would probably hate my father and falsely accuse him of abusing me as a child and I would probably be leading a Bible study somewhere and still wondering "IS THIS AS GOOD AS IT GETS?" I praise God for Remnant Fellowship. WHAT IS GOING ON HERE IS REAL AND IS OF GOD. Jesus said for us to judge a tree by its fruit. The fruit of the teachings I used to listen to and hang around were rotten and got me nowhere. But the fruit of Remnant Fellowship is SO good and so evident in my life: Please take the time to visit us and see for yourself what God is doing in this generation!! IT IS REAL. He is shaking things up and it is absolutely incredible to be a part of it all.
