Hungry for Hope Conference

Hey There -

Just thought I would fill you in about an amazing conference I had the privilege of attending last weekend hosted by Remuda Ranch, a Christian eating disorder treatment center. I attended the conference with my friend Debbie who is a licensed Marriage & Family Therapist and my mentor Judy Halliday (Thin Within).

The conference consisted of several workshops hosted by Remuda staff and Constance Rhodes (founder of Finding Balance). I was impacted by so many of the sessions, but my 2 favorite sessions were called "Heavenly Bodies" and "Hope and Glory." I walked away more equipped and eager to allow the HOPE we have in Christ to fully invade our present - to invade the way we think about ourselves, our future, our body and the world we live in. God isn't done with us yet and He's not going to give up on His creation. So if you're bent over and broken from life (I know I've been there!), I pray that you can grasp on to the truth that you have a HOPE and a FUTURE. That all that is broken will be redeemed.

I also want to formally tell you about the True Campaign - Constance Rhodes (of Finding Balance) and Travis Stewart (from Remuda) have partnered together in an effort to change the culture and end the crisis. Check out their website for some great encouragement! Constance, Travis, Judy, Debbie and I had a chance to meet for a bit and will be talking about possibilities we can partner together! So we'll keep you posted!

Love & Hugs,

Allie
