Bottled Letters For You

Letters and messages for my loved ones. When my courage is not enough to show them how much I love them, words will.

I’ve been abusing myself for the past two days. I eat a lot. I push myself to eat more. I tell myself that I am still not satisfied and therefore I keep on eating. Lately, I’ve been skipping school. Every time I wake up, I feel so ugly. Like right now, I don’t want to go to school. I don’t want to attend the youth service in our church. All I want to do is to eat or sleep. Though I am not purging, I can feel like I am so close to it. I just feel scared.

Can I say something to young ladies here? I’m trying to pick my words carefully here. Your husband, whoever he is, single ladies, will have an unbelievable amount of influence over your sons and daughters in regards to spiritual things. If you want your children to love Jesus deeply, hold out for a man that is Godly. And let me tell you this: I am well aware that Godly men are rare. Lots of neat Christian boys, not a lot of Godly men. And we’re working our tails off for you to try to develop some into that. But don’t settle, because it’s better that you be lonely now than you be married and lonely later. Are you tracking with me? It is better that you be lonely now than for you to get married to a man that will teach your kids everything but the way of Jesus.

A young man working in the
army was constantly
humiliated because he
believed in God.
One day the captain wanted
to humiliate him before the
troops.
He called the young man and
said:
- Young man come here, take
the key and go and park the
Jeep in front.
the young man replied:
- I can not drive!
The captain said:
- But then ask your assistance
God! show us that he exist!
The young man takes the key
and walked to the vehicle..
begins to pray …He parks the
jeep to the place PERFECTLY
well as the captain wanted.
The young man came out of
the jeep and saw them all
crying. They all said together:
- We want to serve your God!
The young soldier was
astonished, asked what was
going on?
CAPTAIN crying opened the
hood of the jeep by showing
the young man that the car
had no
engine.
Then the boy said:
See? This is the God I serve,
THE GOD OF IMPOSSIBLE,
the God who gives life to what
does not exist.
You may think there are
things still impossible
WITH GOD EVERYTHING IS
POSSIBLE …

All I think about is food. I eat way too much. I’ve gained twice what I have lost for the past two weeks. I am running out of money because I spend too much on food. I am so scared that I’ll be fatter. I am already fat and I am about to get more fats. I am hungry all the time. I am hungry for food, for love, for acceptance, for material things, for approval, for everything. I am scared. I am so scared. And I am so ashamed of myself.

Hi. How are you? Just a quick note. I am struggling with everything. And I really don’t know what to do. I am having a hard time talking to God. I hope that your relationship with Him is much stronger right now. That whatever circumstance you are in, you would still seek Him.
