"The Old Has Gone, The New Is Here."

"Therefore if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come; the old has gone, the new is here." 2 Corinthians 5:17

As I am a Christian, I do write about it's importance to me and how it's helping me in my healing journey.

The Bible verse has been on my mind a lot lately.

As I've spent a good part of the year, praying, reading healing books by different authors, journals, and talking to friends about healing and finally moving past this dark past of mine.

July 25th I started a new life with my husband, but even in the good times, my mind was still obsessed over J and what he had done to me, and if I would ever be able to ever heal.

After a talk with a couple friends, I was able to come to the point that I could say J is dead to me. He isn't welcome in my new life. and I prayed to God to bless and give Jeff and I a happy life.

I asked my dear friend to pray with me about becoming a new Creation in Christ and letting the past die.

Right now, I really feel at peace. That's not to say that I won't ever struggle with this again... the DEVIL loves to torture us with our pasts, but as my friend said, "don't look back, just keep looking up." With my Savior Jesus Christ, I am a New Creation. Praise the Lord.

The number will never be enough.

I have realized on this hell-ish journey of what they call anorexia, that the number will never be enough. I've been starving myself off and on since about February. First it was to lose about 10 lbs that I gained while my thyroid was under active. I started eating better but just ate less. I finally got back to my normal weight. And I decided I was gonna go lower. Mostly because I hate my breasts. So, I started cutting back on calories. Counting them on an app and a tracker that counted how many calories I had burned. I'm really not much of an exerciser, so I mostly just restricted what I ate, between eating normal on weekends or when with friends. Didn't want them to catch on and wanted to still enjoy myself and not put my life is jeopardy. Well, I'm at about 10 lbs away from what I called my goal weight. And the last few days I really restricted so I can finally reach the goal. I've agonized over getting help and eating right and just a constant battle with my th...

Christmas Blessings

Lame title. But, how many blog posts can I call "Merry and Bright"?! What can I say? Our first Christmas together, of course didn't go as perfect and planned out as I tried to make it, but, it was perfect. Absolutely perfect. I was surrounded by amazing family, friends and of course my husband. This was our first official Christmas together and Christmas Day was our 5-month anniversary. 5 months ago I said I do, and I'll keep on saying it. And now with the new year fast approaching I know what my goals for 2016 and beyond are. It's something I will have to work on and slowly progress with. But, I know now I don't have to do it alone, I have my wonderful and sweet husband to work with. And I can't think of anything better. This year didn't go anywhere close to as planned, it showed me some of my hardest days, it showed me some of the best. And everything in between. This is a journey I'm on, to truly being a new Creation in Christ and becoming Kati...

Thankful even when bad things happen

I am thankful I am a survivor. And I am thankful for opening up about what I've gone through. I have met some incredible people. And having them in my life is worth it. They have helped me through so many things. I'm not glad I was assaulted, but I am glad for what I've learned and how I can grow, heal and help others through this experience. That's all I got.
