“Many of us are acting like following God means we live a life of misery and saying no to all of the ‘fun’ things in life. Perhaps we haven’t yet realized that following Christ is the way to an abundant life—it’s the way to true joy and a great adventure! If we walk around acting as though living in a relationship with Jesus is boring and miserable, no one would want to join the migration to Him. But if we go to the world as the salt and light as Jesus calls us to, with celebration of what He has done in our lives, others will want to be part of it too.”

This is where I found myself in the middle of this cycle of depression.
Most of us don't know that we're coping. We can't recognize that our obsessive behaviors are actually addictions that empower us to avoid our deeper issues. Then we ignore how serious they are to justify ourselves. We make it through our hardships by any means necessary.”

And when we want to change our life, we dive into spiritual practice and expect quick results, only to lose focus after the honeymoon has worn off. We return to our state of bewilderment. We're left feeling helpless and discouraged. It seems we all agree that training the body through exercise, diet, and relaxation is a good idea, but why don't we think about training our minds?”
