The
account of Noah and the Flood
depicts that God regretted that He had created man, and resolved
to send a flood that would destroy all living creatures in the world.
God spared Noah and his family. He commanded Noah to build an ark,
take his family, along with a pair of each of the Earth's animals.
Noah obeyed, even though God's instructions did not make sense to
him.
God
sent forty days and forty nights of rain, until the world was flooded
and all living creatures drowned. When the rain ended, Noah released
a dove from the ark. When it returned with an
olive branch
in
its beak, Noah knew that the waters had receded, and that he and
his family could begin a new life. Now God's instructions made sense.
The
Book of Genesis, The Old Testament.

 For
those struggling with eating disorders, we know we've made wrong
choices. We have that deep desire to flood out the addictions that
are destroying, or have already destroyed, our life. Like Noah and
his family, we want the waters to recede so that we may begin a
new life.
That is the purpose of this website
~ to provide the Truth, God's Word, and the
tools to get back on the path to a rich and fulfilling NEW life.
The site is filled with recovery information, support, resources
and God's promises.
Some of the content may force you
out of your comfort zone. But like Noah, you will see that God's
instructions make sense in the end.
"He
who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion"
-- Phillipians 1:6

The
Bible says that we know that suffering creates endurance, endurance creates
character, and character creates confidence. We're not ashamed to have
this confidence, because God's love has been poured into our hearts by
the Holy Spirit, who has been given to us. --
Romans 5:3-5
...
that's God-Confidence!
The
Bible says that God is able to do abundantly more than you can ask or
imagine; all things are possible through Him! Praise the Lord, we know
this is true! We also know the Lord has a divine purpose for each one
of us, a plan for our lives that only He can foresee. As you pray and
call on the Spirit of God to empower you and help you to pray, boldly
ask the Father for healing. Keep praying and keep asking, praying always
in the direction God's Spirit leads you. Stand in confidence on the
promises He gives you as you read the Bible (His Word). Be willing to
receive and accept His answer as He reveals it to you, looking not to
the circumstances for confirmation, but to the understanding He will
bring to your heart.
