You are so right. I often forget that I am not in this alone. I tend to put all of those burdens on my shoulders and think that if I ask for help, whether it be from God or a fellow Christian, that I will be looked upon as weak. I'm always trying to be the one to help everyone else out, that sometimes I need to remember that I have just as many flaws and I need to lay my burdens down. You're awesome girl.

Truly spirit-led! I know I have held on to the need for perfection. This had led me to feel like I need to have control over things... which is nearly impossible! I just end up feeling guilty and defeated. I have learned the importance of letting God take control over my life. In terms of eating, I just was reminded of this scripture: "Off your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God- This is your spirtual act of worship. Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is- his good, pleasing, and perfect will." - Romans 12: 1-2 Wow... that packs a lot of truth!! I am so blessed you're my sister! :) You're so wise... wisdom of the Lord! xoxo This is wonderful Katie. Truly spirit-led! I know I have held on to the need for perfection.

Especially when it is a 'really hard' situation! But when we learn of his love and forgiveness for us, we are able to extend it towards others! Tina, I think YOU are WONDERFUL!!! :) But we both know it’s really Jesus in us that makes us ‘appear’ so great! ;)

I held onto unforgiveness for a long time towards my father. It was only after turning more and more to Christ that I was able to give it up and move on with my life. Things are so much better now. They are plenty of other things too that don't get better until I turn to God. Even if the situation doesn't change, I am better able to face it knowing God is for me. Loved reading this!

I know that I am holding onto unnecessary pain and anxiety, and I know that too often I try to deal with it simply by covering it up with something else - be it food or general grouchiness or whatever. You are so right that what I really need to do is lean on Jesus for support - that is the only way to let go of the pain and truly live the life He has planned for me. Thanks for writing this! :) GREAT POST!!!
