Kara's Story
A little over one year ago I began a journey that I knew God was calling me to--one of health and healing. You see, a year before that I gave birth to babies. Yes, babies. There were three. Fast-forward one year (yeah, I don't like to think much about that year anyway...) and my post-triplet-bearing, post-pumping/nursing body was devastated by the trauma from all that it had endured. I was desperately overweight by that point both from pregnancy and from eating from the stress of it all. My core was a wreck and I suffered from a severe abdominal injury from my pregnancies that was also exacerbated by my excess weight. I was at my wits end. I had 4 children under 4 and I could hardly walk up stairs. I couldn't sit on the floor and play with them and I certainly was not living the abundant life I knew the Lord wanted for me. So, I decided I would do whatever it took. And the Lord gave me a vision and a promise. A vision to live in His abundance and victory, free from the bondage of food and emotional eating. And a promise that He would bring it to fruition. "And blessed is she who believed that there would be a fulfillment of what was spoken to her from the Lord." Luke 1:45
The Lord in all of His goodness and providence put the resources in place for me to achieve the results that He promised me. He led me to Grace and Strength because He knew that I didn't just need a diet: I needed a change of heart.
In this journey I have had countless victories and I direct all praise to Him who gives me strength. But it is what I have learned in the not-so-perfect process that has shown me more about myself and even more importantly about my Savior. That when I am weak He makes me strong, that He wants more for me than I can ever think or imagine, and that He has given me everything I need to live in the promises and victory that He desires for me.
Praise be to the Lord that I can gratefully say that I am down 100+ pounds, am completely healed in my core, and am able to keep up with my beautiful and energetic children. Even better? I know and have deeply experienced the love and strength and power of my Savior like I have never known and I am BEYOND EXCITED to live in His freedom and abundance.
So.... is this program for you? Is this what you've been searching for? I can tell you this: if you have done other "diets" and you've always felt like something was missing--like it wasn't getting to the root of the issue--and that maybe there's something more: THERE IS. I tried for so long without Him and when He is the One leading and guiding and sustaining us there are truly no limits to what we can achieve. And we do not have to do it alone! God created us for community and wants us to learn from one another. Most importantly: He wants us to know that He can and will be our strength in the process if we will let Him.
"With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible." Matthew 19:26
