It's sometimes very, very, difficult and complicated. But your blog gave me more hope than I already had. Thank you !! <br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2359436161362393268.post-77753466364855357342012-04-26T15:47:55.936-07:002012-04-26T15:47:55.936-07:00This is my first time visiting your blog, and tear...This is my first time visiting your blog, and tears just filled my eyes reading this post. <br />Because just from this one post, I get the feeling that our stories are very similar.<br />I struggled with anorexia for seven years - age 12-19. All my teen years wasted in misery and hopelessness and unhealthy obsessions.<br />Then last summer, after always claiming to be a "Christian," I finally entered into a real, genuine relationship with the Lord. I gave Him my struggles. All of them. And gradually, He healed me. I am not bound by the disordered thoughts anymore...I'm not a prisoner of my sin. Jesus has truly made me free, and it has been the most incredible thing. And I would have NEVER, EVER gotten to this point if not for God. He truly heals if you go to Him. And we are FREE to live the beautiful life He wants us to live...the life we were created for. <3 Love the verses you provided. Thanks for being such an encouragement. :)Jordannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2359436161362393268.post-45972429294141545912012-02-17T05:31:42.099-08:002012-02-17T05:31:42.099-08:00Thank you I will definatly try what you suggested....Thank you I will definatly try what you suggested.

All I mean to say is that I am thankful because unlike some (not judging them at all) I have been able to find something that has given me great hope to change.<br /><br />Sarah: Thank you for the tag! I will definitely join in on the fun! I am praying for you. Hang in there. <br /><br />PureGlow*16: I am so glad that you have experienced the same joy in Him that I have been able to! He is the only way I could get through!<br /><br />Sophia: Love your words. Great picture of the recovery process through Christ. It is definitely a journey and He has to carve the path for us to follow and make it home! :D<br /><br />Anonymous: NOT a silly question AT ALL! Its a great question! My first suggestion: PRAY 24/7! Praying continually throughout the day (okay you can take breaks :P) but praying A LOT is really what helped me. The Lord is NOT going to shove Himself on you and make you accept His help. You have to want it and ask for it. And it may not be the help you want or think you need. But in time He will show you that He had the perfect plan and answer. Reading the Psalms has also given me great comfort to overcome my struggles. Beth Moore also wrote a book called "So Long Insecurity" that is supremely helpful. But mainly, praying and reading your Bible is going to be the most helpful. When you pray...open up to Him. Tell Him that you hate yourself, have extreme guilt, think that you are "this or that", and ask Him for His forgiveness. We have to recognize that or ED's are not honoring to Him and ask Him for forgiveness. He is READY and SO WILLING to forgive and forget just like He did the woman at the well. (John 4). Then ask Him for His help and be willing to "die to yourself" and give your life over to Him. He must have the control and we must relinquish it to Him. I am praying for you.Deborahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01526328619392279065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2359436161362393268.post-20317748442669433392012-02-16T06:15:07.858-08:002012-02-16T06:15:07.858-08:00Perhaps a silly question but how does one start to...Perhaps a silly question but how does one start to use Christ as a helpto recovery?
