HIS Strength
I'm actually doing a little bit better today. I have given into Twister once, but only once. Last night at youth we watched a video (that I think was like a part of "The Passion of the Christ")... it made me realize how much Jesus went through for me, for my sins. And this is how I'm living my life? Jesus knew I would develop an eating disorder. He know that for 2 years I would put it before Him, but He died for me anyway. How absolutely amazing is that? I have drawn strength from Him, and I'm doing better. I'm still not doing as good as before, I'm still struggling and not completely back on track. But, I'm starting to stand back up... I fell hard this time.

Hi, I found your blog on Sherrie's blog "journey2ourprincess." I don't know if you know her or not? Anyway, I am a complete stranger, but I do want to encourage you. I was very touched by the honesty and strength that comes through your posts. Even when you're down, you're a fighter.
ReplyDeleteI, too, am struggling. I don't have the same issues you do, but I am struggling nonetheless. I have felt like each of your posts.
Some days, it takes a lot of will power just to get out of bed. And during the darkest moments, I feel like I am crawling in the desert, looking for an oasis to save me.
Despite all of that, I do have many, many moments where the love and grace of God comes shining through. When that happens, I have the same revelation over and over again: Wow! HE is truly with me, even in my darkest moments. HE is watching me, holding me, loving me, and caring for me during those long, cold nights. HE never leaves.
I will pray for you. You are definitely in a rough battle, but you have the best 'general' available to help you fight! Don't forget to hand HIM the sword.
