My name is Emily, and these are a few bits of information about myself.

I live in a itty bitty city in Florida. I’ve only been alive 16 years. I absolutely love to ride my bike and, every now and then, run. I always want to be outside. I love the outdoors, camping, fishing, and the like. I love my guitar, it keeps me sane. I like attempting to sing along while strumming on my guitar as well. I’m a reader, there is seldom a time when I don’t have a book and my bible with me. I enjoy art, sketching, and occasionally painting. I’m on a long journey of teaching myself how to knit… I’m making progress though. I’m in recovery from anorexia nervosa. I’ve had my share of dark days and years I wish I could forget. But I don’t want to have to type all those memories out. The important part is that I let you know that I made it through everything because of God. Everyday comes with it’s share of struggles because of my disorder, but I have the Almighty God on my side, and I have comfort knowing He will get me through any thing and everything, there is nothing the Lord will put me through that I cannot handle. Everything I go through is a gift from God. Every struggle I must over come can only bring me closer to Him because I go to Him for guidance and help. Sometimes God gives you situations to strengthen you, to better prepare you for a bigger plan He has in store. I know all the suffering I went through during the peak of my eating disorder was indeed a blessing from God. Because, before my disorder, I didn’t know God. And during my disorder, I went to my addiction instead of turning to God for comfort during hard times. If it wasn’t for my eating disorder, I would never have truly understood the comfort, love, and truth of God. When I hit rock bottom, I called out to God, and He was there, He had been waiting for me. My anorexia was a blessing that caused me to call out to our Heavenly father who had patiently been waiting for me all my life. He loved me before I knew of him. And now that I live for him and surrender to His grace and His will, I know He will never leave nor forsake me. The progress I have made since I have sought The Lords help is miraculous. I put control in His hands. I never knew life could be so wonderful and filled with joy and peace until I stopped fighting, and gave my life up to the one who has a plan for my entire life, already mapped out.

I love God, He is my life. My desire is to live the life He has mapped out for me. I wish to spread word of His love, and show other people around the world the hope, comfort, joy, happiness, and love that is found when you seek God, His love, and His truth.
