~ ACCOMPLISHMENT ~
:~*~:. .:~*~:. .:~*~:. .:~*~:. .:~*~:. .:~*~:
The central fact of our lives today is
the absolute certainty that our Creator
has entered into our hearts and lives in
a way which is indeed miraculous. He
has commenced to accomplish those things
for us which we could never do by
ourselves.

The one thing that I am absolutely
certain of today is that our Creator,
God, lives in my heart and works
miracles in my life daily. The biggest
miracle, I believe, is having an
awareness of Him, and knowing that He is
in control of all that happens in my
life. His power is infinite. If I were
not aware of God, then I don't believe I
could work this program. It is the
realization that God can accomplish
anything that is helping me to work
daily toward achieving my goal of
continued abstinence and a changed
attitude regarding food.
I cannot change what's in my heart, but
God can. I cannot, of myself, break
lifelong habits, but God can motivate me
to change. I cannot forgive myself all
the pain I've inflicted on myself and
others, while suffering from this
disease, but God can soften my heart,
and help me to forgive by letting me
know that He forgives me. There is
nothing that I can't accomplish when I
take God's hand and let Him lead me.
ONE DAY AT A TIME . . .
I will let God guide me into an ever-deepening relationship with Him so that I may accomplish the great feat of arresting my compulsion to overeat.
