I won't Let You Go - Switchfoot such a very encouraging and beautiful song.

To anybody who is struggling with a situation in your life, today is your day to break free! By break free we do not mean that you are going to be completely healed, we do not control situations that come into our life. If you are struggling with something, then keep reading to find out the one thing that we do control. Many of us have situations that reach our lives at some point. Whether it's dark thoughts that have gripped your mind, a job you just lost, losing your house, a family member dying, or even something simple such as missing an item or being late to an event...these are all things that we cannot change. Now you may think "this doesn't apply to me if my problem is depression or some kind of sickness." But the answer to that would be, it actually does involve you too! Let me explain how: The point of this message is that there is one thing we can control. I know people dealing with depression especially, feel like they have no control over any of it.

This post is going to be difficult to write because this is the part of my life many do not see and do not know. We all have things that we have done or struggle with that we don’t want others seeing or knowing about. Sometimes we hide it because we do not want ourselves to have to see it either.  Here is my story and a look into a part of my life not many know about it. Iam sharing this with you because I am hoping it will encourage you! I struggle with being open with others on how I’m feeling and what I’m thinking. I’m not going to go too personal into detailbut most of my life I have just felt like my opinions or feelings don’t matter. I’ve toldmyself it isn’t true but it’s something I struggle with. I also struggle with feeling lonely and there are times when I choose to be alone and I cause my loneliness. I have learned through experience that I am not alone even when I feel like I am because God is the one who is always there even when I feel He isn’t. There was a time in my lif

Loving is never easy and sometimes it hurts. Love is a choice we must decide to choose regardless of what we have to deal with. Loving opens us up to heartbreak but is that a reason to never love again? Sometimes pain caused by rejection from someone we love causes us to struggle loving others. Love is our bloodline, it's in our souls. Imprinted on our minds. It's part of our blueprint of biological make up but it does sometimes hurt. What do you choose today?

Some people say they need their loved when. They say things such as “if I lost you, I would kill myself.” They think their being sweet and endearing but those type of things are not very wise to say at all. Things like “what would I do without you.” “I can’t live without you.” ETC, are very trapping words to say. It makes the other person feel as though they have to be there and sometimes this causes our fight or flight mode to kick in. Instead try saying things like “I appreciate you being with me.”Or “I want you in my life and I love you.” These are not only positive and encouraging compliments but they let the other know being with you is a choice and not a command. Try it!

Today’s topic is very deep and extremely important. One thing we see during a     wedding ceremony is the exchange of rings. Some may underestimate the significance this act has as part of the whole of the vow. The question is why is this part so important? It’s more than just placing a ring on the others finger. It’s what the ringsymbolizes. What immediately comes to mind when you see someone with a ring on? “They must be in a commitment “relationship”. As a Christian our rings are ourlives , the way we act either shows were in a committed relationship with Christ or riding it solo.

Here at Family Faith Wisdom we value families, faith and wisdom! Today's topic is about fighting the good fight. What is the good fight exactly? Let me ask you this. What is your spouse dealing with? Are there any hardships their going through? Any struggles, challenges? I encourage you this week to try being open with your partner and asking them if they are dealing with anything. Let them know you are there for them and will fight with them by their side. This can change the dynamic very quickly. Let us know how it goes! We always love it when our readers get involved and keep in touch.
