Bonnie's Story

In 2003, I came to a point where I was out of ideas and out of energy to try anymore. I had been struggling to recover from an eating disorder for over 20 years. Fear, shame, and self-loathing drove me to anesthetize with food. I was overweight and depressed. A psychologist challenged me to believe everything in Scripture was true for my life - even with food. I was terrified, but accepted the challenge. One afternoon when I was about to binge, I prayed continually for God to remove my desire to numb myself with food. I saw God supernaturally intervene and fight my battle. The battle lasted close to an hour. When it was over, I no longer had the desire to eat. In that moment, I saw proof of God’s power and love for me. My faith in Christ became far more personal than it had ever been before.

In 2018, I experienced great disappointment and emotional pain in my life. I felt anger, fear, and confusion. I couldn't control anything that I wanted to control. My prayers were simple: God, help. I couldn't fix or reason my way to a better life. God used my suffering to change me. He used other people to teach me about myself, and show me how to live a healthier and happier life. My experience helped me learn to communicate with others, handle my negative emotions, set boundaries, and start loving myself.
