OKay Support Group family....SO much going on!
Things have been good and bad. Ashley came to visit me this weekend and it was amazing! We did absolutely nothing but stay in our pjs and be super lazy and relax :) It was super nice and she is super beautiful :)
Unfortunately, Friday night while she was here I found out that my very recently (like as in 4 days earlier) fiance was already in a new relationship. Not exciting to hear. I knew he would be dating someone soon...but not soon as in four days after we break up. It just makes me wonder and know that he was talking to her before we broke up, which hurts and sucks, but I KNOW that it is God's will and I'm so thankful that He saved me from this relationship before it got worse. So thankful.
Then God did something REALLY cool today :) So I didn't make it to church this morning, but I hear that my pastor made an announcement in church this morning that processes were being made for a Mercy Ministries to be built on our new church property in my city! How exciting! My pastor said he never really knew anything about EDs, but after I shared my story with him and he has watched me go through the recovery thing God has given him a major heart for it and definately opened his eyes. He has been talking to the founders of Mercy Ministries and they have started making plans about building one soon. My pastor said that he talked to a first investor recently about being willing to invest quite a bit of money into helping build it, he said that the investor didn't know anything about eating disorders but my pastor shared my story with him and it touched the man he was speaking to and he agreed to invest and do what he can to make sure another one gets opened to help other girls! How absolutely incredible is that! I mean I have always wondered why in the world I had to go through something like this, but now I see God opening so many doors and I'm actually grateful that He allowed me to deal with this and used me to touch my pastor, my church, and now my city..and ALL to Him be the glory! It's still kind of top secret :) But I figured it would be okay to share it with my support group family...just don't tell anyone else :)
I'm so excited to see what God is doing. To see what doors He is closing and what doors He is opening. I'm so thankful that He is giving me strength to keep fighting and pursuing full recovery. Never underestimate His power :)
Thanks so much for letting me share with you! God bless! Love you all very much! *Kasee*
