One week ago, I thought I didn't want to live anymore. Darkness had sucked me back into a place of utter hopelessness. I wanted to give up completely. Today I was water baptized. I felt the Lord call out to me last weekend. I felt him order me not to let the strongholds of my life tear me away from him any longer.He reminded me that there is hope. That he has greater plans for me. In that moment, I made the decision that I would not die alone for no cause but that I will die, be buried, and live a new life through Jesus Christ. I feel hopeless some days but there is NOTHING that can defeat our God almighty! He is my light in the darkness. Today I declare a life committed to my Father, son, and holy spirit. I declare a life fully committed to worshiping God and no longer worshiping a disease. I still am in a daily battle. I am not perfect and the fight is not over. I know that without God, I would never have even made it this far. Without God, I would be dead. The eating disorder is STRONG but God is INVINCIBLE!!
Do you not know that all of us who have been baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death? We were buried therefore with him by baptism into death, so that as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, we too might walk in newness of life. For if we have been united with him in a death like his, we shall certainly be united with him in a resurrection like his.
Love in Christ,
Laura Katherine
