I am a wife and mother three beautiful children. God has blessed me and given me great peace and joy living for Him and His kingdom. My life wasn't always this way. In 1996 I tipped the scales at close to 200 pounds; I was tired, depressed, and felt defeated. A friend joined a diet class from the Weigh Down Workshop. I could see her life changing. I knew I wanted what she had.
I joined a class and for the first time I felt the Spirit of God. I couldn't believe the peace and joy I felt (not to mention I was 40 pounds lighter). My love for God grew as I shrank. How exciting my marriage, my family, my entire existence was being transformed by the hand of God! The spring of 1999 I took my last class before the birth of our son. I am ashamed to say after three years, I once again found myself hopelessly lost in the world, becoming increasingly more self-focused. I knew the answer - GOD! I made a call to the only people who have consistently pointed me to God and told me the truth that bore fruit - Weigh Down.
In the fall of 2002, I started my first Weigh Down Advanced class and my life has not been the same since. I praise God for He alone deserves all the glory. I would never want to go back to my old life. I am a changed woman. I love God more than ever. My marriage is fully restored; I have no fits of rage or anger. I have peace with God and man. I have love and joy overflowing. I have also lost over sixty pounds! I am among the blessed and I know it! I am here to serve to the glory of God for He has truly set me free. God has given me everything I need. He has answered my prayers. What more could I ask for? This amazing life of purity is a dream come true! Thank you, GOD!!!
