¶ Celebrating the Birth of Christ and His Impact
Cold Plunge thoughts. Well, Merry Christmas. Today's the day that we celebrate the birth of Christ. I am so grateful for him in my life. I know that he lives. I know that he's my savior.
¶ Overcoming Weaknesses and Becoming More Like Christ
And I know that because he lives, I'll be able to live again. And I'm so grateful for that. I know that because of his sacrifice for me, I can overcome my weaknesses and the things that I'm not very good at and develop and become more like him every single day. That's the truth. That's not something that I believe or hope. That's something that I have felt about four or five years ago, something like that. I was really, really depressed. rest.
¶ Finding Hope and Relief through the Atonement of Christ
And I haven't really struggled with suicide in my life, but at this time, I just wanted to, I was out on a fishing trip and I just wanted to be back home. So I thought about how I could get injured enough that I would have to go home and stop the fishing trip, but not so injured that I would die because I didn't want to die.
And then one night I was struggling with this and i was in the tent i just poured out my heart to god and i said i can't carry this anymore it's too hard this is too much for me in that moment i felt the atonement of jesus christ work in my life that was when i knew that it was real those feelings went away and I overcame my depression. That's just a little thing. It's not as hard as what other people go through. But for me, it was enough to know that Christ did sacrifice for me.
