Someone said to me, today, that I look and sound like someone who knows and loves herself. I replied with, "If such is true, then it's only because I was blessed with enough suffering to get to this point. But there is a lot more work to do ( Read more... )

Hi starlytehu,

Yeah, I took a break from LJ because I've been out of town and working WAY too much. The good thing is that God has given me the (long awaited) strength to persevere and keep my ED under control during it all. I have to say, going to the altar and asking the elders of the church and pastor to annoint me with oil for the healing of mind was one of the most amazing experiences of my life. I'm actually a living miracle and testament to the power of God through obedience to His word. It's as if through that simple act, He chose to act then and there. Even though I read about miracles in the Bible, I have to admit there reality usually feels dated and ancient. But I'm telling you the truth when I say that I felt as though I was actually watching Jesus walk through our little town, and stop, see me hurting and sick, and then extend his hands to heal me. And He did. I fall at times, but only when I forget to say His name.

I've gotta run...work, work, work...and it's my birthday...oh well!

With a smile,
Joyful Joyce
