11.18.12

Again, it's been a while since I've posted. But oh well, better late than never right?

Daddy brought home 3 fish today to add to our fishtank. They're super tiny and absolutely adorable. All three of them look the same, so I named them Thing 1, Thing 2, and Thing 3. Creative of me, eh?

On the flipside of things, may I ask for you to help me pray for the friend that I am going to share her story about below?
So this friend of mine, let's name her X, has been a close friend of mine for almost a year now. Some time last week, she told me a "deep dark secret" of hers, whom she has told very few people. Without revealing much, basically it was an eating disorder of sorts, which she wanted me to keep her accountable to. Trying to stop isn't always easy, and I can definitely attest to that with the problems I've faced in my past with self-harm. Either way, I just want to be there for her, and give her a sense of guidance (she has to tell me whenever she falls into a trap), and a sense of conviction so that the unhealthy habits slowly lessen and fade over time.
I guess, just pray for strength for her to overcome this disorder and be stronger than all of this, and to be more secure in her self-esteem and self-image. As for me, just pray that I'll be a supportive and helping friend who is there to listen and guide her along the path which God has instilled for her to follow (yes, she's a Christian too).

It's getting late, so I think that'll be it for today. Toodles!
