It is easy to fly through life and miss the stuggles that others are having around us, even those of our friends that we see on a regular basis. That happened to me with my friend Casey Cease, who I know from school here in Houston and have really enjoyed getting to know over the last year. He is an electric Christian speaker who specializes in communicating to youth, but he also has about 20 or so other irons in the fire, including being on the board of directors for Hamoreh.
All that being said, Casey created the blog 40 Pounds of Purpose this spring to capture his journey of getting back into a healthy style of life. While it is great to keep up with his weekly posts, I especially enjoyed reading his opening post describing his battle as well as what he needs – and more importantly doesn’t need – from those around him.
You can check out Casey’s first post here, and I pray that his journey will help those of us who need help controlling this area of our lives as well as make the rest of us more sensitive – and prayerful – for those around us who are struggling with eating and related issues.
Thanks for reading!
