I
have always been a thin person. Physical weight has never been much of a
concern for me. Of course, as a woman, I’ve watched the scales to make
sure that I didn’t go over a certain amount of pounds. Now that I’m
older, I have to scale back on eating whatever and whenever I want, but
I’ve never really had a struggle with food.
When
Dorcas first told me about her website, Dorcas Gazelle.com, and her
journey to weight loss post, I was excited that she had created a
website that would focus on the needs of people who were challenged by
physical weight issues. My precious husband has battled weight and
health issues, so I know how a site like hers could offer healing and
hope.
I was
impressed by Dorcas’ weight loss journey, and her commitment to living a
healthy and fit lifestyle. I admired her tenacity to have healthy goals,
and her persistence to keep them. I first started listening to her
YouTube broadcast, because she was a dear friend, and I wanted to
support her new endeavor, and also because her topics were really
interesting.
However, the more I listened, the more I was inspired to keep listening.
I still believed that her audience was for people who struggled with
weight and health issues to which I felt I had neither one, but I
continued to listen because I could easily relate to the practical words
of wisdom and advice she was giving.
Then
one day, after hearing one of her broadcasts, I was sitting on the side
of my bed thinking, and I realized that I too had a weight issue! The
difference was, you just couldn’t see my weight, but it was there. I was
carrying around extra weight that was psychologically unhealthy. I was
weighed down with insecurity, fear, and doubt, and I had struggled with
this weight throughout most of my teen and adult life. I too needed to
lose the weight, and Dorcas’ messages were helping me do just that. All
of a sudden, her messages were not just for a others, they were for me
too!
Dorcas Gazelle.com helps us all get rid of our unhealthy weight, whether
it is on our body or in our mind. The heaviness that we carry is
detrimental to both. The website/broadcast is a gift from God to set us
all free in our mind, spirit, and body.
Jesus
said “Therefore if the Son makes you free, you shall be free indeed.”
(John 8:36) We thank You LORD for Dorcas Chandler and using your
daughter to fulfill your purpose of freedom in the lives of your people.
