Sunday night written on Monday afternoon - April 28

1.Great day of prayer and praise at church, some quiet contemplation and prayer in the afternoon.
2. 32 of 32 points
3. No real exercise
4. vitamin and water check and check

The real great thing that happened yesterday is I got back to going to an OA meeting. You see, my name is Athena and I am a compulsive overeater. When I start eating right, I can not live with the feelings and emotions that arise and I need the support and encouragement of OA to do it. I got lost in the day to day of being a wife and mom and forgot about Athena. Today, my joy has returned in full and guess what, the laundry is still there, Butch is still jumping around the house and Hopalong is still making messes but I've remembered this is just the way life is and I can cope today, for 24 hours with GOd's help. I can eat right, I can take care of myself, I can live one day at a time.

Matthew 6:34 says "Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own."

I am soooo proud of you. I know that was not a small step - it was huge.

You know the Bible also says the stable would stay clean if there were no oxen. But the strength comes from the oxen.

I love you.

Thanks again for this sight.
