Bi Polar Christian

When people act crazy in the world today many will say, “oh they must be bi polar!”  When a person is bi polar they have extreme mood swings from highs to lows, good to bad.  This disease affects how a person will feel and how they will act.  Research has concluded that many people who are bipolar have had stressful events in their childhoods that cause them pain and suffering.  This disorder can’t be prevented but the patient can be taught coping strategies and given medicine. 

For most of my life I have been a bipolar Christian.  My definition is as follows:

A person, who sits in a pew in a church, is sometimes involved and sometimes not.  They have probably had church experiences, but these experiences have not rooted them deep in faith.  They sometimes follow the way of the Lord, but then at other times don’t follow His path at all.  They cope with all pain and suffering by themselves and also may take medicine to be a band-aid for the situation.  They are independent being depressed about the past and having anxiety about the future. 

Do any of you fit this description?  I use to, but I don’t anymore.  Today I am a recovering bi polar Christian that is dependent on the Lord.  I know He will handle all my pain and suffering.  I read the bible everyday.  I pray many times during the day.  I follow His path not mine.   I don’t put a band-aid on anything, because I know  I don’t have to.  I am content with every situation, even the cold weather.  I surround myself with people that are Christians inside and out.  I love people all people.  Since I am rooted, planted in faith, the Lord is guiding me down this path of life.  I am a rooted Christian!
