Chasing Silhouettes, with Dr. Gregory Jantz

Chasing Silhouettes, with Dr. Gregory Jantz / She was a home-schooled pastor’s daughter who wasn’t allowed to play with Barbies or dance. Her mum made sure there would be nothing that could tempt her daughter to be vain, or to contract an eating disorder. So she went ahead and got one anyway. Chasing Silhouettes: How to Help a Loved One Battling an Eating Disorder is the story of a broken family that finds healing through an eating disorder. It’s the story of how even good Christians need redemption.

A beautiful post about trusting in God and letting Him take care of things you are worried about.

Emily Wierenga reflects on the life-changing moment that occurred when her family decided to provide foster care for two boys.

"i had to laugh, like a crazy lady, i laughed while they cried and the Joy of the Lord sang on the CD. it was one of those laugh-or-you’ll-cry times, and so we made a cacophony of sound that afternoon drive home, as sweet-voiced singers crooned “i’ve got joy like a fountain.” and i couldn’t help but think how joy is nothing the way it sounds, and love isn’t either. http://www.emilywierenga.com/on-how-to-know-the-joy-of-the-lord-when-youre-in-a-van-full-of-crying-kids/
