Intro

Brief Introduction

I need to confess.

I’ve labeled this as a “depression” seminar.

It’s about balance.

The title is “Give Me My Life Back.”

thief n. — a criminal who typically relies on stealth to take property belonging to someone else.

it’s more than depression, it’s about living.

when i look back over my life, i only had 2 seasons and they BOTH because I wasn’t living.

Q: ever been doing well but like the worst?!

when you have a funk that won’t leave, it’s because you’re not living.

I’m not negating the reality of chemical imbalances.

We live in a fallen state.

the earth is under a curse.

medical issues.

BUT, that doesn’t negate that Jesus’ ultimate intention for each of you is to give you Life!!! “I came to give you life.”

abundantly adv.

— in a manner marked by great quantity or degree; copiously.

God came so we can be BIG, not dialed back.

in large quantities.

"I was drinking copiously"

in an expansive or wide-ranging way.

NIV - “have it to the full”

Holman “have it in abundance”

New Century “life in all its fullness”

NLT - “My purpose is to give them a rich and satisfying life”

MSG- more and better life than they ever dreamed of.

Q: How many can say that internally, looking at our families, our finances, purpose that we’re living “life better than we ever dreamed”…that we’re living?

Observation: He never said he’d give it to you.

Newton's First Law of Motion says that an object will remain in its state of motion unless acted upon by force.

Essentially, this means that if an object is not moving, it will remain still until a force (a push or pull) acts on it.

App: If you’re heading for the good life…the abundant life, you have better chances of making there than you EVER would have to start heading towards depression-fatigue-burnout.

UNLESS you are “acted upon by force” a traumatic event comes into your life.

This answers the question why you can be OK and feeling good - chugging along and you lose your job.

My story

Thanksgiving 2003

The last thing I had was abundant life.

This is what got my attention

Rewind to 2003 - start putting balls in mason jar

major building project

lost a child

not the best place in our marriage

building a church - MAJOR issues with construction

lower back probs led to surgery

i couldn’t sleep.

I was being medicated, but agents in the meds had side affects.

reason why i couldn’t sleep.

building a church.

we lost a child.

Steve Yungerburg: You can’t put anything else in the cup.

Lessons I Learned

Play time isn’t just for children

I can be silly.

Even more silly at home.

I think I’m making up for lost time.

I matter

I deserve not to have to pray for folk.

I deserve a day off.

I deserve a vacation.

My feelings matter - I’d have to learn the 2nd part of this.

everything modeled wasn’t right “men don’t cry”

it’s ok to cry

I don’t have to know all the answers

I’m not critical to the plan - didn’t need Adam to create, a professor to teach noah how to build, david to be the first king, hosea to marry a chaste woman, joseph to help Him w Jesus!! God’s got a track record of doing it without folk

Salem grew

Brene Brown - Cultivating Rest and Play Guide Post 7

I forgot this which became key ingredient of permission that I gave the enemy.

Don’t go as far as I went.

Session 2

Intro

It’s not a one size fits all.

The physical effects on the brain.

The brain

Adrenal fatigue

Cortisol released

Things got pretty bad.

They were prolonged.

Ever had a problem.

Ill: RAM

So I get to the door of this new season.

I still have some inner healing, hadn’t grieved a few things, and now this.

Tell My 2nd Story

Different Energies

Physical energy

Emotional Engery: In itself, emotional energy is neutral.

It is the feeling sensation and physiological reaction that makes a specific emotion positive or negative.
