Blue Monday

So yesterday was Blue Monday, the most depressing day of the year, according to some psychologist.

Well, that really caught my attention. What makes a good day? What makes it bad? I had a fantastic day yesterday, so when I found out it was "supposed" to be the worst day in the year, I was even more grateful of the great day that I had.

"15 to 20 minutes a day of something that feels really good can counteract hours and hours of negative." -Wendy Matthews, a life coach

That statement is simple and direct, right? But where would I find something to do for 15-20 minutes on something that feels really good? :) DEVOTION! spend your time with God.

Lately, if you've read my previous blogs, I've learned that spending quality time with God is vital in my spiritual walk. We often say that it's really important to know what God wants and where He wants to lead us. But how? Read your bible. It's useful. I've found that God speaks in funny ways. He uses the least important details from your mundane life to show you just how awesome He is. :) Really, you gotta try it yourself.

“[Trials and Temptations] Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance.”- James 1:2-3
