Ive had a few days better than they have been recently. My friends came back from their trip. I went to lunch with one and have been helping another with the spring tea coming up at my church. I finally got a job which I'm happy about, but I had to get some new clothes. And right now, after hours spent in dressing rooms, I want to jump off a bridge. I'm so sick of myself. I want to cut parts of me off. I want to throw everything up. I want to run until I pass out.
 
I know feeling of inadequacy when it comes to clothing. How nothing seems to flatter and you suddenly see yourself as less than perfect. But then I realized that's the greatness of it all. :) i love my body because God put so much thought into it that no one has the same body as me. I have this body type for a reason, and I'm willing to search for that reason. Perhaps all you need is a reason to keep your head up. Try searching for the reasons God may have for putting you through these trials. It sure worked for me. :)
 
Hugs Jordache, dont let one day defeat you.
You need to know , that you always have a wonderful body here in Jesus, and we are willing always to cover you in prayers. :)
Here is a little bit of scripture I hold dear for when I have had a rough day .

: Let the morning bring me word of your unfailing love, for I have put my trust in you.:

Im covering you in prayer in Jesus right now, and wll continue to.

Hugs and God bless

Just say "I like myself" over and over until finally it really sinks in and you actually will like yourself. Love your improfections as much as your strengths. Dear lord help her not to wrry amen
 
I pray for a revelation of who you are in Christ, it's extremely blessed, loved and powerful.......no matter how we feel, or what lies the enemy says
 
This isn't the Jordache we all know & love !
Great news about the job.
If you made a list of all things bad in your life & one of all things good, I'll bet the "goods" wins !

Happy to hear about your job!
Praying you will find clothes that suit you!
God bless
 
You know Jimsun, last year I tried to write a llist of every significant memory I had regardless of why it was significant. I tried really hard because I was really trying to prove to myself that things weren't as bad as they seemed. Well, I did prove something. Things were worse than they seemed. I finally gave up after the 18th page of bulletted memories. It was too depressing. I began the good memories and I dug deep. I even listed things that weren't necessarily good, but that were not negative. I ended with two positive pages. I can't go by memories.

Positives
1.) My drug addict mother took my medical condition seriously during the early, and because she did, I am not retarded.
2.) My parents broke up when I was 3 which limited my father's private access to me.
3.) I chose to stay with my grandparents when I visited my dad beginning when I was 8 thus more or less ending his abuse of me.
4.) At the very time my mother decided that I she didn't need to care for me anymore, I found Jesus.
5.) By the grace of God and His working, I moved 500 miles away from my family when I was 17, and I have lived here since, effectively limiting their affect on me and giving mme a chance to realize the disfunction and heal.
6.) My grandmother was able to see me graduate college and visit me in the city one month before she died.
7.) I finally told my dad I knew he was a pedophile, and while I was gracious, I held nothing back.
 
Try to keep your head up and stay running the race toward Christ, Jordache. Remember, "...the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us."( Romans 8:18). Paul had a lot of things he could have complained about (which he talks about in 2 Corinthians 11 around verse 23 and on), but yet said these light afflictions are just for a moment (2 Cor 4:17). Keep staying focused on all that is good in your life, and even if it seems like there is nothing, put things in perspective in relation to your future in eternity with God! Now that's something to definitely be thankful/excited for! :D Congrats on your job, btw!
 
Hugs Jordache, Ill keep praying for you in Jesus.
You have so much more good in you and for you than you realise yet, just see the joy in Jesus that awaits you!
This scripture was given to me, I believe it was meant for you as well. :)
The joy of the Lord shall be your streangth!

God bless

I will pray for you. Stay in faith no matter what happens.

Hebrews 12 14-15:
"Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without
which no man shall see the Lord:
Looking diligently lest any man fail of grace of
God; lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble
you, and thereby many be defiled;"
