Meet Sav
I met Savannah about 3 years ago. I had no idea that she had struggled with an eating disorder for probably at least a year. To me she was just a beautiful charismatic college girl. That’s the thing with eating disorders isn’t it; we can’t see what’s going on inside. This is true for anything really, so we should seek to be kind always.
As time passed it came up in conversation that she had fought this and was “in recovery”. This was a concept that I never had really considered before. The only person close to me to fight this battle lost it. There was never any conversation around being on the other side of this fight. As the conversation continued she mentioned that she and her mom wanted to go to high schools and have talks on the subject. I told her how much I loved that and that I would help in any way I could. This was a couple years ago now. Fast forward and we have worked countless hours together, and I’ve had the privilege of watching her grow into a fantastic fitness trainer. She inspires those around her to do and be better. I have no doubt she will be amazing in the nursing field.
Sav is the first part of launching Nat’s wish. We will do a full roll out after the second session is completed in the spring. I still don’t have all of the pieces yet, but am trusting God will reveal them in His time….always His time. 🙂 For now though I am maintaining course that Nat’s wish will become a gallery style fundraiser. The funds will go towards helping with treatment costs for a family. The goal is to help provide healing through the imagery of telling their story, while giving hope to those in the battle and inspiring healing.
I have so many emotions about this project. Excitement, trepidation, some anxiety, sadness, thankfulness, as I write these out my heart is starting to beat faster and my eyes are tearing. I seek to honor and glorify God through this work he has bestowed upon me.
Please share this far and wide. If you or someone you know would like to share your story please reach out, I’d love to chat.
