DAY THIRTY SEVEN ~ MEETING THIRTY SEVEN
OPPORTUNITIES
The topic today comes from the book Touchstones by Anonymous. It said:
"With God as my guide, I will use whatever comes my way as an opportunity for growth."
Whatever comes my way has to include all of the pitfalls of life. They are definitely an opportunity for growth and learning as long as I allow myself to realize this. Where before coming to program, I would have bemoaned all my pathetic little problems that come up each day, now I can take them and say "alright, now what am I going to learn from this?" Even the bigger issues are becoming a bit easier to handle.
Without God, I don't think I could handle things that I am right now. I have a confession to make that I finally decided for myself (with my counselor and midwife's support) to go off of my medication. It was brought to my attention that maybe I was relying on that little pill where I could and should have been relying on God. The medication was also contradictory and had warnings for people with eating disorders and nursing women (of which I will be one in a couple months). I don't feel any the worse for wear and if I start to, I know that I will get my butt back to the Dr. Until that time, I am relying on God and it feels great!
Until tomorrow ~
I'm Kim
