  1. What a powerful story of grace. I love your last photo and how God rescued you. He came right your where you were, and loved you!

    Thanks so much for linking up!

  2. Oh my, can I ever relate to your “trying to be good” mentality. You have the brains and talents, and I understand how tempting it is to seek approval that way.

    I had almost forgotten, Cheri. For me, the word was “perfect.” My friends all acknowledged that I strove to be perfect in every way. (LOL, like Mary Poppins.)

    Like you, the grades, leadership roles, etc. were my attempt to be good enough to be loved. Accepting the love of Christ completely changed my motivation for success–from service to self to serving others.

    I’m SO sorry you struggled with anorexia, Cheri. God truly rescued you from an early grave. It’s striking that He spoke to you directly from the pages of the Bible. His Word is powerful.

    I’m not completely clear on the family issues that troubled you in those years. I trust that part of your life is way behind you now.

    Thanks for sharing “His story” with us today, and for joining us for Marriage Monday.

    Blessings, e-Mom ღ

  3. Excellent writing. Seriously moving to read about the Lord speaking directly to you from his word! So glad his love for you came crashing in!

  4. Great, awesome, wonderful, TRUTHFUL, heartfelt…amazing story. Thank you so much for honestly sharing your story. Praise the Lord for His intercession. Blessings! Stopping by from Marriage Monday.

  5. It is truly an amazing thought that God gets angry FOR us, and he totally delights IN us, despite the things that we do. Praising God that he was able to convey those messages to you. Thank you for sharing your story–it is sure to touch a chord with many a “good girl”.
