Here are God's transformations in my life...
MY PROBLEMS WERE:
- Major Clinical Depression diagnosis (suffered for 16 years!)
- Thyroid failure (Hashimoto's Thyroiditis)
- 120+ pounds GAINED as an adult
- Fierce anxiety (saw the best Psychiatrist in the city and was on quite a combo of meds)
- Outspoken feminist/worldly perspective
- Weight: 250+ pounds, Height: 5 feet tall
- Size: 26/28
- Cholesterol: 306
- Blood Sugar: 1 point away from high
- Hated my life, my work, no meaning in life at all and wanted OUT!
MY ATTEMPTS TO FIX MYSELF:
- A DOZEN plus anti-depressants over 16 years
- Anxiety medicines (many combinations and dosage increases)
- 28 years in church and 2 "Christian" schools
- Owned and read 100 self-help books
- Dozens of rigorous personal growth seminars
- 12 years in and out of Overeaters Anonymous
- 28 day eating disorder treatment program
- Acupuncture/holistic therapies/juicing and cleansing products/ alternative chiropractic
- Going vegetarian, vegan, and 100% raw foods
- Metaphysical/New Thought/ Religious Science Practitioner program
- Master's degree in "Christian Counseling"
To say I had a life that did not work is an understatement. My level of depression was excruciating and I had exhausted every single avenue for healing.
GOD'S SOLUTION:
- Weigh Down Workshop--have lost and kept off 120 pounds! Free of dieting and making the food behave.
- Remnant Fellowship - Learned how to find a true relationship with God! FREE of all anti-depressants and anxiety medicine since summer 2003.
- Left the world and all its "remedies and healing modalities".
- Left the counseling field I was trained in.
WHAT RESULTED WAS A CHANGED LIFE, BECAUSE I OPENED MY MIND TO GOD?S WAY, NOT MAN?S PERCEPTION OF GOD'S WAY.
I STARTED DOING IT GOD'S WAY (no longer my way) AND I BORE GOD'S FRUIT FROM OBEDIENCE!
I praise God for His FREEDOM and JOY and I am grateful to be a part of Remnant Fellowship since August 2003!
