So...
So, God's been working on me and my slavery to food issues. And this past weekend, a whole mess of stuff rose up to the surface. I'm not quite ready to share about it, b/c frankly, I don't feel safe yet and that's all a part of it. You know, letting your guard down ~ how far, how much... it seems like it takes me forever to be honest with God, who is perfect, faithful and true; and then another million years to begin being authentic with Bill. I'm not sure how long it will take me to sincerely be vulnerable with my friends. I know I can talk a good talk, but to walk it is still a struggle.

Thanks for opening up...
I can relate to the struggle!
I don't feel safe yet, either. I think it may take some time. Sometimes I just throw it all out there anyway...which I don't suggest...as I usually end up feeling more vulnerable and like a cornered animal...snarling and terrified of those who are only trying to help.
It's a tough season for so many of us!
I wish I had some morsel of wisdom or godliness to share...but I don't.
You are cared about and loved and are not alone...
Hang in there!!
I can relate as well. And as Holly states I don't have any words of wisdom...but I will say this...just when you think you can't go on anymore....that is when God's amazing strenth kicks in. And I take comfort in the words..."God never asks us to do anything in our own strength."
Thanks, P2G, I needed to hear that as well.
Peace.
And I just want to applaud the enormous, courageous first step you've just taken and the vulnerability you've already embraced by even posting what you did. Onward and upward out of darkness (hiding, shame) and into His glorious light! (Come to think of it, I don't look so good in the bright light. Hmmm....maybe I'll stay in the shade a little longer.)
