I keep hearing the Lord speak to my heart, "I've brought you this far, I'm not going to let you go"<BR/>Ginny shared about "sin is an absence of love`,and I`ve been thinking about that in my own life, and how I NEED to dig deeper into the love of God...((hugs)) Love you so much aimee...Angelahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11857554289543670693noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4796995664229074034.post-84332953199669773362008-11-07T12:11:00.000-05:002008-11-07T12:11:00.000-05:00((Angie))<BR/>it's funny how the both of us seem to have some kind of soul connection. I too have been struggling with my food again. Since my mom died, I went on a streak where I WOULD NOT EAT. I lost 12 pounds. Then I had to move state and got MORE depressed. Since then I gained that weight all back plus more. I stepped on the scale the other day and it said 140 pounds. I have not weighed that much since I was pregnant over five years ago. Remember I'm a shorty only 5'1" so that is an unhealthy weight for me. I had to go and buy new pants because the ones I brought here with me I could barely button some and most I could not. I have been checking my blood sugar and they have been way too high. Which only emphasizes the fact that my habits have been a danger to my health and they need to change. I will be praying for you and for me and we continue on this journey. God will give us the strength we need. xoxoxoxbelovedaimee~http://www.blogger.com/profile/08812962666066870479noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4796995664229074034.post-86435214252516926052008-11-06T21:42:00.000-05:002008-11-06T21:42:00.000-05:00Oh Karen, thank you so much for visiting.

Yepper, that was me,,GRUNGY!~ At least I shave my legs now,,lol. I have a friend now who has the same addiction as I do and makes sure her legs are always shaved also,,'just in case',,LOL.<BR/>I have gone for counselling, quite a few times. I'm a firm believer in getting help. Went for confession also. <BR/>"told me that sin is an absence of love" that is the truth!~ I believe God wanted me to write this devotional so that I could see how far He has brought me and not to be fearful that I was getting into that 'pit' again. If He brought me this far, won't He carry on? As St. Paul stated..Oh what a wretched man I am. Who will save me from this death. Praise be to God, through Jesus Christ!<BR/>Thanks for your words of encouragement. Your such a blessing to my heart..((hugs))Angelahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11857554289543670693noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4796995664229074034.post-90796461368892679582008-11-06T20:01:00.000-05:002008-11-06T20:01:00.000-05:00Angie, first of all, eating disorders are just like alcoholism, drugs, sex etc...an addiction...a sickness. I hope you went into therapy counseling for that, because eating is not the problem...it goes deeper than that. It is a sin because you recognize it as one. However, Jesus can and will set you free. You have to do your part, too. That means to seek out whatever help you can get for yourself. If you cannot afford a counselor, then go to your priest in confession. I did. I spent an hour and a half in the confessional crying, sputtering, and asking why? why? My priest gave me some very good advice and told me that sin is an absence of love. When we do not love ourselves or anyone else for that matter, we create sin. You sweet, sweet child. Do not be so hard on yourself. We all are weak and fragile. God knows this better than we do. Keep on keeping on and God will lead you.<BR/>By the way, you were not vain. You were down right grungy and you knew it!LOL<BR/>ginnyginnyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10576022783071536981noreply@blogger.com
