Thankfully I've come to learn at age 12 that God doesn't make junk while attending a meeting at overeaters anonymous. I remember being nervous as can be as I walk through the door with my mother, with eyes all looking back at me. Just as I was about to sit in a chair I glanced at a poster on the wall that read,  "God doesn't make junk."

The poster illustration was of a young man that was looking up at the sky. Instantly I felt comfortable and shy little Renée was doing much better.

At the meeting,  I heard adults sharing their struggles and came to understand, even older people have problems. For the first time I felt the weight roll off my shoulders. My circle of friends began to grow.Through the 12 step program I came to learn that there was a God in heaven who created every human being to be different.

I came to realize that I was special in God's eyes and that God would never reject anyone.

God created each person to be unique and one-of-a-kind. God doesn't make junk, or misfits,  he only makes a special one-of-a-kind in each one of us.
