its such a great book too -- i'm so getting into everything i'm reading ... esp. about NOT praying from a place of fear -- that's a good word right there!

yes it is isn't it Bina???? Me too.... having been groomed with it myself being HAPPY is a choice... it's funny too because now I get comments like< "Are you always happy?!" I used to be so depressed and argumentative and accusatative... NO WONDER my body was so sick.... it's so amazing what JOY and HAPPINESS can do. I tell people now, " I have tried depression, it is far too overrated.. I choose joy"

It seems like everything wants to go against joy, happiness and goodness.... But God's joy is our strength!!!

yana its a great book and i saw myself in the first part of the book where beni talks about walking into a room and feeling stuff -- i was so like that and i used to think it was my "stuff" -- then i realized it was other ppl's "stuff" -- and that just kind of made things worse because there wasn't anything i could do about other ppl's "stuff". now i realize i can pray about what i'm feeling and not carry it around and let it burden or depress me. its great!
