Julie's Story

Read the story of Julie's new-found freedom in Jesus Christ!......

Since our time in prayer together, my relationship with God has changed dramatically. I'm finding myself spontaneously praying, praying for others, and just feel free! Yesterday I completed a day of fasting without eating (I know, I used to fast for the day then convince myself it was only until the evening, where I would then tuck into food!).

I don't think I'm totally free from the allure of food only because there's been many times in the past four months where I've turned to food when bored or had feelings of purposelessness. Losing my job because of the mandates and then moving town where we had to set up a new life has been often many times of grief and loss.

I've been learning to go to God with these big feelings, but it hasn't come easy. But the pull to eat is not the same. I see this as something that will likely be a thorn in my side, a vulnerability that I need to constantly be alert to.
