Hello, I am Forest. I work here at FamilyFaithWisdom and most of the posts you see are written by me! I wanted to share some knowledge with you all that I have and I think the kids especially will love this one. Okay! So I'm going to guess each of you are a responsible child who does everything their parents say (like me), and as they always say "you reap what you sow." If my guess is right, and your like me, then you have been wondering why that doesn't seem to be true for you. My whole life I have been the good kid. Always doing what I'm told, doing things to surprise people and make them happy! Don't get me wrong, I'm not perfect and I have messed up more times than I could count. But the point is that I am (for the most part) a very reliable, trustworthy, and faithful person. Someone says to do something, I do it immediate whether I want to or not. Rarely do I ever show that I don't want to. The thing is...for being such a goodie two shoes I would

 In so many (almost every) home there is some form of technology. It's every where, but to be honest it can be very useful. Everyday chores are made easier by having machines do normal actions  that would be a hassle. It's very efficient and gives you more time. Other devices such as a TV or Computer are definitely not needed but do make life more easier. It's definitely more of an opinion more than it is a fact, that most people use these entertainment devices too often. In restaurants you'll see kids or even adults playing games or doing who knows what. This isn't necessarily a bad thing but there are families out there that live in this "time" that would like to know how to spend more quality time with their family. Some people plain out just don't care and that's fine. If you don't care about how much time is spent on devices then you can just skip this whole thing. But if you're sitting there thinking to yourself "I wonder how I c

Have you ever heard You Wont Relent by Jesus Culture? The whole message of the song is that God wont relent in pursuing us until he's reached us to the full 100%. Just like in our relationship with God, in all our relationships and families we should be relentless. Never giving up until we've succeeded. The best way to mend wounds and survive life is to stay and fight together. We'll never make it alone and I believe we were never created to. Even the first man, Adam needed somebody with him to help him. Not to say he was incapable of doing it on his own, but God knew he needed someone with him. We all are here to show God's love to this world and the best way we can do that is by sticking with each other instead of against each other.

When your upside down what does the world look like? Doesn't it make you feel like the world is upside down? Many say "why is the world upside down?" and they usually get the response "It isn't, you are." This is our perspective of many things in life. We see things one way but maybe they are really the other way. To get my point across better, here are two songs for you. They are both by Josh Wilson. Before The Morning and Fall Apart.

”we’ll get through this together.” Picture this: you and your spouse next to each other, hand in hand. There’s no better place than that. You feel at home and safe. You never want to leave his side. Than the storm comes. Life puts hurdles between you two to try and break you apart but it doesnt succeed. Through the strongest wind, the darkest night, you remain together til the end. Even when an opportunity comes to dance in the sun, you stay in the storm cause that’s where you belong...together.  For you two it doesn’t matter where you, all that matters is your with each other. This is what a Godly marriage should look like. It’s that choice to stay during the rain when you could leave and enjoy rainbows and sun. That is what Love is. It’s staying through the tough times. Loving your husband when he can’t even love himself.  Staying when he doesn’t feel he deserves you. Picking up after the kids when you already did the last week. That moment you stood at the alter and said I do, was t

"you got to do it all," this is the answer we get when asking "How do I change the world?" but the truth is we don't have to do everything. Most often we look at all the opportunities that we don't have and think we cant serve in the place we're in. Our situations can be used to help others and we can help people where we are now. Everyday the little moments in our life, are opportunities to do things that show God's love to the world. That is how we change the world, one little step at a time. We look at an action and decide it's too small to make any difference but it really can make a change.

What are your dreams? How do you picture your family in the future? Your spouse? Your career? In the moment you are in right now, you can make changes in your life to have the best life you were meant for

Ever heard Rumplestiltskin's famous quote "So Dearie ask yourself, how far are you willing to go?" So many parents tend to do what ever they can to keep their children safe, even if it's going against God. His plan is the best and regardless of how dangerous the situation may seem, God knows what He is doing. Sometimes we even hurt others just so our kids can stay protected. We are the care takers for kids but most importantly, we are their teachers and everything we do shows them how to act in that situation and can impact their life in the future. Be careful this week as you care for your kids and teach them great lessons.

We all know the story of David and Goliath. Now lets say your child is David and God has told him to go defeat Goliath. He comes to you saying just how big Goliath is and that he is going to do it because God has told him to. What would you tell him? Would you let him? Many would say "No way! I'm protecting my son. I'm not going to let him go, it's too dangerous" but is that just a lie your telling yourself? Maybe its the enemy trying to stop your son from doing something great. "But I want to keep him safe. What if he dies out there" you say with worry in your heart. Does God suddenly not have control anymore? So many parents face challenges that leave them at a cross road: "Do I let my child go defeat Goliath and trust God, or do I take control and tell him it's too dangerous?" Sometimes this moment of decision can have an impact on the way we teach our child about faith. In David's situation God was completely in control. If David ha

People have many opinions of what marriage is or what it should look like, but the truth is...no one ever gets close to what it really is. Marriage is such a complex thing. Many think its just a romantic matter and some think other things. Many people simply have no clue at all. In order to make it work and last we have to know what it exactly is. The dictionary has a definition of this topic: Marriage - Noun 1. The legally or formally recognized union of two people as partners in a personal relationship 2. A combination or mixture of TWO or more objects Marriage is a combination of two people connected as one but it goes deeper than that. How do you achieve that oneness? Many use things such as having a baby or keeping up their intimate life to grow and strengthen their bond but the probably is that it's not the third part of the equation. The problem is that Marriage is a mix of three parts that bind into one through the power of Love but what is this third compound? Words
