Ou est la boum?


Yep, another infamous high school French class shirt, translating, “Where’s the party?”
Dealing with eating disorder behaviors and all kinds of accompanying issues can make us feel like screaming that question. We want rewards, something to bring us happiness, relief, meaning. Sometimes, we turn to food or any of our chosen comfort vices to help soothe our anxieties. But, after the comfort food is eaten, after we’ve participated in largely self-destructive choices, we still are left feeling empty. Feel like giving up? So, where is the party? Could it be in God?
“But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.”
1 Corinthians 2:9
God wants us to turn to Him to be fulfilled in our lives.
“Cast not away therefore your confidence, which hath great recompence of reward.”
Hebrews 10:35
God is- and has- reward for us. We all need to stop looking for temporary parties and look to an eternal, loving, wonderful God!
 Ou est la boum? C’est Dieu!
