Excerpt:
"This
is a book about God’s amazing power; what he has done
in my life and what he can do in yours. I am blown away
by the love of God. He took me, his damaged daughter, and
cared for, loved, and bandaged me back to wholeness. When
I was suffering all alone in pain…God was there. When
no one would listen to me…God was there. When I felt
unloved…God was there. When I cried…God was there.
When I felt I just couldn’t go on…God was there.
God was there, even when I didn’t feel him. He was
patient with me in my impatience. He wiped my tears.
“I am not a therapist or doctor. I am just an ordinary
person who lived through an eating disorder for 14 years
and now is healed. I know the pain; I know how hard the
struggle. I understand when you look in the mirror and all
you see is ‘fat,’ and ‘thin’ is never
thin enough. I understand the pain of ‘feeling fat.’
I understand how food can control you. I understand the
desire to want the eating disorder to be gone…yet you
remain stuck. I understand the pain of wanting something
so bad, or hating it so much, yet being unable to let it
go.
“Dear one, I know the struggle you face is hard and
painful. I know the hurt. I know the hopelessness. I fought
the fight, and I couldn’t have done it without God.
He is the reason that I am alive today to share his message,
to share his power, to share his hope with all of you. My
battle with bulimia is over.” |
