Hiya. I got back from church camp a few days ago.
I'd started camp really worried... about college and stuff. I've :mad had a little slip :sad this summer, lost a few pounds without trying. I just hadn't been paying attention to what I'd been eating. So to add to the list of worries about college I was worried I wouldn't be able to take care of myself.
But... God changed all that. He gave me an awesome peace about things. Now I know that He will be with me. I don't have to leave His presence. I can just take things one step at a time. He will guide my words and actions, so I don't need to worry about my relationships. He will help me through classes and help me realize that they are not what's really important.
I just feel great.
The camp was the same camp I went to last year and shared my testimony at, only it was at a different campsite. So lots of people remembered me from when I gave my testimony last year, except some of them took a bit to recognize me since I look so much better now. :supergrin
One girl herself was struggling with a slight relapse on her ED which had been dormant for three years. I did my best to offer advice. I didn't really give much, though. I just didn't know what to say. But I had prayed that God would guide my words, and He did. And I think she really just needed someone to listen.
I feel good. And I'm ok.
