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.
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.
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.
