Moods

Faith is the art of holding on to things in spite of your changing moods and circumstances. - C.S. Lewis

I'm not smart enough to write something as clever or precise as this. So why not lean on Mr. Lewis?


I get moody. I get melancholy. I get angry. I get disgusted. I get joyful. I get sad. I get tired. Mostly, I feel small when I think of who I am, where I've been. Sometimes I get excited when I think of what may come my way. But I can't let any of these moods change what I believe. I used to trust my gut feeling for all occasions. But I found that emotions affect me too much to make this so trustworthy.

What it comes down to is this: If your faith is not strong enough to withstand a mood swing then what are you really believing in? Whatever you believe, be strong, be sure, and stand tall.

I'd write more but I'm really not in the mood.
