Hi, I am a Christian that is filled with the SPIRIT of GOD so I try to live my life in a diffrent manner, and from time to time the monster of depression would come after me. Sure I got tired of running from it, but more over I thought that it was pittyful that 'depression' was chasing a Child of GOD. So I did the thing that runners are not supposed to do...I looked back at it, and depression is just misguided anger. So you should know that something happened, and now you are blaming yourself for it. Aside from the fact that it is proably not your fault (so why punish yourself) Bitterness will work and help put you in the ground. People misunderstand forgiveness. If someone comes after me with a knife, I will forgive them, But that does not mean that I will quickly trust them. When I forgive someone, I am declaring that I am turning them over to JESUS and JESUS will be responsible for collecting on the debts...and not me.
The approaite form of revenge, is a life well lived. I am a Royal Ranger (like Boy Scouts in a church) And I was taught that there are 4 ways that a boy (or person) grows. They are mentaly, physicaly, spiritualy, and socialy. You said that your 'new year's resolution this year was actually 'it's my turn now. do it for me'' Let me tell you about a naturally occurring drug called 'endorphins' When you excercise endorphins are released in your head...and certain things are put into perspective. A 20 min. workout on a total gym (https://www.walmart.com/ip/Total-Gym-1400-Total-Home-Gym-with-Workout-DVD/23816097?wmlspartner=wmtlabs&adid=22222222222017545287&wmlspartner=wmtlabs&wl0=e&wl1=o&wl2=c&wl3=10375020033&wl4=pla-1105723735302&wl12=23816097_0&wl14=total%20gym&veh=sem&msclkid=63b92517f5dc1463d5317e46c929466e) Mental growth is fun, and I enjoy growing spiritualy...I see people at the gym with there headphones on and they are passing up many oppertunities to advance themselves in social growth. A person can get so busy with doing stuff for other people that they forget about paying attention to the people around them.
yeah, if I had $350 for a home gym, I wouldn't be struggling financially. feel free to read through some of my other posts. especially this one

Thank you for taking the time to write back to me! Concerning the financial struggle, I would recommend going through a course called financial peace university with Dave Ramsey. The church that I am currently attending re-taught the information in a Sunday-school type structor. I think that many financial problems can be reduced through gaining Wisdom and insight. A line that Dave said that I appreciate is 'I used to think that I could out earn my ignorance'.
Concerning your sometimes busy schedual (as pointed out in the article https://steemit.com/life/@dunstuff/just-a-heads-up-about-the-ammount-of-output-ill-be-putting-up) I am trying to go through a book concerning time managment and the author points out that a person can be busy and not be very effective. Pretend that there is a door that is held open by a stick, and 100 bad guys are rushing through that door. You could either try to shoot every person that comes through the door or you can take aim and shoot the stick that is proping the door open. Benjamin Franklin said that 'an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.' (that means that the sooner that you deal with a problem then the less hard it will proably be.)
that course costs $129 US
are you for real bro? stop trying to sell me shit.
Actually I specifically said where you could possibly receive help for free, it sounds to me like you are insisting on reaming trapped and saying how bad you got it
maybe, or maybe i clicked the link and it said PAY NOW!!!
That sounds pushy to me...I did not intend on linking you up with pushy people, so sorry about that. However the teachings are important because it speaks about Biblical principals of how to not spend all of your money :)
