Have you ever done “all the right things” …and still felt pulled toward food? Here’s the truth most of us don’t hear enough: The struggle isn’t just about what we eat — it’s about what we’re trusting in. Because when stress hits…when emotions rise…when life feels heavy… food promises comfort. But it never delivers peace. 📖 “For our heart is glad in Him, because we trust in His holy name. Let Your steadfast love, O LORD, be upon us, even as we hope in You.” Psalm 33:21–22 (ES

Sometimes trusting God doesn’t feel safe. Not because God isn’t good… but because life has been hard.

But over time, I learned that growth takes patience . Just like hiking up a mountain — you can’t reach the top in one giant leap. You take one step at a time, catch your breath, and keep moving forward. That’s how new habits are formed — through faith, consistency, and grace for yourself along the wa

Embracing Growth: Replacing 'Perfect' with 'Progress' on the Path to Transformation. One of our members once shared something that really stayed with me. She said, “I told myself I’d just have one piece of cake… but that one piece led to days of overeating sugar. I finally realized the one piece was never just one piece.” That kind of awareness is progress. It’s the moment God opens our eyes to see the pattern — not to shame us, but to help us turn to Him sooner next time. Re
