NorthBridge Community Church

We don't function very well if we can't fill in the gaps of our story to bring us a reality that allows us to move forward. So we do this to give ourselves a reason and an explanation to the story that we're actually experiencing. Now, mostly when our brains do this, this is completely fine. It's good. It's at the very minimum, it's innocent. It's not a big deal. But the problem becomes when our brain does this and there's actually something detrimental to our lives and we're not addressing it. We just don't admit what's actually going on because our brains start filling in the gaps that tell us a lie. And when we do this, you know what we're doing? We're actually in denial.
