Devotionals
Oh how I love Devotionals.
I got a new devotional today and as I go along with the 162 days, Ill keep you posted.
Today (day 1) I read on Living Before God.
Matthew 5:27-29, 33-37 says
27 “You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall not commit adultery.’[a] 28 But I tell you that anyone who looks at a woman lustfully has already committed adultery with her in his heart. 29 If your right eye causes you to stumble, gouge it out and throw it away. It is better for you to lose one part of your body than for your whole body to be thrown into hell.
“Again, you have heard that it was said to the people long ago, ‘Do not break your oath, but fulfill to the Lord the vows you have made.’ 34 But I tell you, do not swear an oath at all: either by heaven, for it is God’s throne; 35 or by the earth, for it is his footstool; or by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the Great King. 36 And do not swear by your head, for you cannot make even one hair white or black. 37 All you need to say is simply ‘Yes’ or ‘No’; anything beyond this comes from the evil one.[a]

Dont let ED be your ID
Just one letter. Thats the difference between ED and ID..but theres a HUGE difference.
ED-->hurtful, shameful, terrible, harmful
ID-->who are are, the wonderful, joyful, amazing you.
Dont let ED become your ID because once that happens, you are not you anymore...you are ED. Who wants to be with ED?
Now let me ask a different question...
Who wants to be FREE from ED?
Think about it.
Write about it.
Share about it.

Hmm
So here I sit, with my pencil in my hand, not knowing what to do, don't know where I stand. I try to write, to explain myself, says the girl who hurts herself. I want this to stop but I cant find a way to help everyone I don't know what to say. I try to be happy, but someone always brings me down, maybe just maybe, someday Ill ignore them and not hear hear a sound. Ill be happy and free, enjoying life...being just me. 'Cause me being me is more than enough, say the people who love me so much. So now as this story comes to a close, I wish you all the best, and thanks for coming to the show.

God? How does He help?
Proverbs 3:5-6
Trust in the Lord with all your heart; do not depend on your own understanding. Seek his will in all you do, and he will direct your paths.
That is the question. How will God help me?
I used to think
If God is in control, why would he put me through this. Why would He give me an eating disorder and make me suffer?
Let me tell you this, God doesn't give you anything thing you cant handle. These struggles He gives you are to make you stronger in your FAITH.
Common Questions about God and eating disorders:
Does anyone really and truly love me?
Will God help me with my eating disorder? Can I safely trust Him?
I've been hiding my hurtful behaviors. Is there anything wrong with that?
Will God help me with my shame and inner pain?
What's wrong with using physical things, like food and weight-control, to try to meet our emotional needs?
Who is the ultimate force promoting eating disorders? And where is he trying to lead us?
God is the ultimate force for good. Where do His ways lead us?
I continue to have a powerful inner struggle. What can I do?
If I let go of the eating disorder, how will I fill the void and provide for unmet needs?
What is one thing you can do to support recovery?

John 3:16-17
For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.
Will God help me with my eating disorder? Can I safely trust Him?
Proverbs 3:5-6 (New Living Translation)
Trust in the Lord with all your heart; do not depend on your own understanding. Seek his will in all you do, and he will direct your paths.

James 5:16 (Modern King James Version)
Confess faults to one another, and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous one avails much.
Proverbs 11:14
Where there is no counsel, the people fall; but in the multitude of counselors there is safety.
Will God help me with my shame and inner pain?
Psalm 147:3
He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds.
What's wrong with using physical things, like food and weight-control, to try to meet our emotional needs?
Habakkuk 2:18 (New International Version)
"Of what value is an idol, since a man has carved it? Or an image that teaches lies? For he who makes it trusts in his own creation; he makes idols that cannot speak."
Who is the ultimate force promoting eating disorders? And where is he trying to lead us?
John 10:10
"The thief [Satan] does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I [Jesus Christ] have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly."
God is the ultimate force for good. Where do His ways lead us?
Philippians 4:6-7 (New Revised Standard Version)
Do not worry about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
I continue to have a powerful inner struggle. What can I do?
Philippians 3:13-14
Brethren, I do not count myself to have apprehended; but one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forward to those things which are ahead, I press toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.
If I let go of the eating disorder, how will I fill the void and provide for unmet needs?
Matthew 11:28-30
"Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light."
What is one thing you can do to support recovery?
Romans 12:2http://www.freebiblestudyguides.org/bible-answers/eating-disorders.htm
And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.
Philippians 4:8
Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy—meditate on these things.

why?
why is it that so many girls now days hate themselves?
why is it that eating disorders are growing exponentially?
why is it that girls are jumping from guy to guy because they just wanna be loved
why is it that was focus on earthy things when the only thing that matters in God?
why is it that more people want to be famous more than faithful
why is it so easy to give out compliments when really we should be taking our own advice
If God created you, for a purpose, for a reason but you don't think you are good enough, are you saying that you are higher that God?

You DONT need to change
Why do we all yearn for happiness, but we lose our happiness in search for what we have lost. Why do we try so hard to be skinny we lose our strength, when in reality, strong is the new skinny. Why do we subject ourselves to the pain in this world, when each and every one of us deserves the very best. Why is it that we know what we are supposed to do but can't find the strength to do it. Why is it so hard to believe? Believe in yourself that you ARE good enough. That you are perfect, just the way you are, and you DON'T need to change.
