hello friends…remember me? lol
Hey everyone!!!!!!
I have reconnected with some old buddies on Facebook, and I think that has prompted me to come and take a look around. Remembering all the support and love I got here…hmmmm…well, it blesses me!!!!
Much has changed in my life! I lost 167 lbs!!!!
ok…I confess…it wasn’t officially REAL weight loss…I actually left my husband. In May, I locked him out. And the rest is history. This weekend while I was away on a ministry trip, he came and got the rest of his things out of the house. We are being nice to each other, but I have closed the door.
While I was part of BS last year, I had confided in some of you that he was abusing me. Your prayers and words of encouragment helped me through a very difficult time. I think Buddy Slim was more of a place of support for me than I knew at the time. I could come here, be myself…and get the love and encouragement I was so desperate for…THANK YOU to those of you who know who you are!!!!!
I am part of a church now that REALLY feels like family. They are “out there” like me. They travel all over the world sharing the Good News and we just got back from Savannah and Charleston. I still live in NC, but might be moving closer to where they are…seeking God about it right now.
Lately, when I have gone on these trips, God is having me do prophetic painting…that is where God gives me an image, and I paint it for that person. It is amazing, and I am often just as blown away by what God has had me give them, as the person I am painting for…
Since my ex left, I have been painting!!! Something I didn’t or couldn’t do with him in the house. Excited that part of me has come back to life!!!
My weight crept back up…but is stable. I think the stress of everything didn’t help. I hope to get back into it soon…I REALLY need to! Traveling is hard enough with all the luggage you have to carry, but to have all the extra weight isn’t helpful at all. I can see it will be a challenge to be able to eat right, and get the excercise you need…but with God, all things are possible!
I hope you all are doing well…I think about you often. You are in my heart, and I pray that God will give you the desires of your heart. Not sure if I will be back on BS like I used to. I am very busy now, and like I said, might be moving. But I just wanted to write and say hello 
How exciting Christie! Enjoy your wonderful paintings you create.
Welcome back Chrisie! You sound so much stronger and happier. I’m so glad you got rid of all that excess baggage. And when you’re ready to get on the weightloss wagon again, we’re all here for you.
Yay Chrisie! Glad you got rid of that ‘unhealthy weight’. I look forward to seeing some of your paintings on facebook? Good to see your prophetic butterfly persona come out of it’s cocoon.
