You're about to discover...

If you've ever struggled to truly feel God's peace and presence, to experience the full benefits and blessings of being His daughter, if you're tired of working so hard just to fail again, and you're afraid you'll never break free from the enemy's grip; then you're about to read the most important page you'll ever read. 

Here's why...

Have you ever felt that way? Or been embarrassed when you thought you had it all figured out or solved, but then began to go backwards?

I was ready for the nasty self-deprecating tyrant to pop back in my head once I started gaining the weight back, but much to my surprise.......crickets.

I wasn't making snide comments, or saying mean things when I looked at myself naked in the mirror. I wasn't judging and scrutinizing myself and others at meal time.

Something had changed!

A few weeks later, as I was treating one of my patients in my office, God spoke to my heart.

He said in essence, "They're missing what you were missing. More of me."

He revealed to me that on my journey of losing the weight, I had also begun seeking Him more. Learning to surrender more. To obey and submit more. 

He had been working on my heart.

And that's what made all the difference.

In my obsession to "get thin again" I had allowed my body image to become my god. I thought that if I met my goal weight, everything else would be perfect. In essence, I had taken God off the throne of my heart and it was time He was put back in His rightful place.

All God is after is our heart. Our allegiance. Our undivided attention.

He wants to shower us with His blessings, goodness, presence, peace and love, but we are the ones who are seeking those things in other people, other places and in ourselves.

No wonder I couldn't keep the weight off. I had the wrong motivation and the wrong self-centered approach the whole time.

Our life, and our health, are so much greater than our outer appearance.

I was so grateful God had delivered me from the judgemental, critical, self-hating, never-satisfied, body-idolizing, unforgiving person I had become.

I felt so free. So able to love myself and others.

But more important lessons were on their way.

Over the years I had buried myself in my work. Being a business owner, creating a good reputation, serving my community--all good and noble things--but I had been sacrificing some key elements of a healthy spiritual life.

I had disconnected from a church family and was no longer serving in ways I had always been accustomed to. Like singing in the choir and praise team, being involved in missions work, participating in weekly Bible studies and small groups. No longer using my gifts and talents to serve my church and others.

I had sacrificed everything for the sake of making my business profitable.

And now it was taking a toll...

Like it was shriveling up like a raisin and soon would be unrecognizable and hard as a rock.

My moods were changing too. I was feeling increasingly depressed, anxious, overwhelmed, tired, irritable, critical, and pessimistic.

This was not me at all. What had happened?!

Something HAD to change.

I felt so desperate to nurture and feed my soul again that I would do anything to feel "normal" again. "Human" again.

I sought the Lord for repentance in being so selfish and single-minded in sacrificing everything for the sake of business and financial gain, and asked Him to reveal how I could remedy this pain in my heart and soul.

He told me to return to what my soul loved best: singing.

"My son, pay attention to what I say;

    turn your ear to my words.

Do not let them out of your sight,

    keep them within your heart;

for they are life to those who find them

    and health to one’s whole body.

Above all else, guard your heart,

    for everything you do flows from it."

- Proverbs 4:20-23 -

Over the years God has been working on my heart and in my identity found in Him alone. 

> In my physical health journey that's why that mean, criticizing voice in my head didn't come back after I had put the weight back on. God freed me from that prison.

God is more concerned about your internal heart-state than your outer appearance. He sees through to your precious heart.

> In my spiritual health journey that's why when I began nurturing my soul and getting plugged back into a church family. Using my spiritual gifts of singing and serving restored the joy that was missing and abundant life as come back to me.

Once you begin seeking God for deeper healing for all the things that are contributing to your angst and pain and your inability to get rid of the negative voices in your own head. As those areas begin healing by His love and the truth of His Word, new beginnings and new possibilities start opening for you.

But it must be intentional. It must be nurtured.

It happens when you begin to surrender and seek the Lord for deeper revelation and healing, and you have an insatiable appetite for wanting to experience the best life God has in store you.
