Peppermint-type of Christians are those who focus only on feelings and emotions. Remember, nothing is wrong with emotions, but you have to make sure to balance them in your overall Christian life. If you're only going to operate off feelings and unrealistic expectations, disappointment will greet you as you grow. The Christian life gets difficult and we'll have to meet hard times and sin! You will never see only happy times as a Christian, and everyone goes through trials and tests. An encouragement for those of you who do meet disappointment and trials, then, is to remember that you haven't lost your relationship with Christ, only the luster. He's always there for you, no matter what!
