Precious Predicaments

Individuals often like to tell others what they did for individuals. They will indicate their sacrifices, struggles that they may endured for whatever reason. It is quoted in Mark 10:45, " For even the Son of Man came not to be served, and to give his life as ransom for many." With that said, God paid the price of his Son to give us the prize of himself."

When it comes to relationships many individuals struggle with developing and maintaining relationships for many different reasons. Although there are several different types of relationships one would perceive the relationship between a parent and child to be the easiest yet it is often viewed as the most complicated. It has been said that such relationship is often devauled and misunderstood. 

This relationship is qualitively different from other relationships as many may be unaware of its importance. It is known that such relationship often set the foundation as one may view and respond to the world and others around them. This relationship is also often impacted by each person's thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. If both have positive thoughts and feelings about one another and theirbehaviors are mutually respected the relationship can be healthy, functional and satisfying. However in sone cases one may lack the skills and tools needed to meet their child's needs or one may feel stressed, overwhelmed and may not respond appropriately to one another. There are also situations where the parents may be experiencing conflicts which may affect the relationship.

There can be no mistaking God's amazing provision for our lives. God has given each and everyone of us a tremendous outpouring of blessings and provision, many which we never recognize. In some cases one may have been told by another. Yet there are also those that are aware yet stop using their gift for whatever reason. Then there are those that have squandered, wasted, or abused their gift.

The Bible tells us that we are are born with distinct talents and gifts. This is what sets us apart from each other. When one discover the talents or gifts that God has given to one such is to be used to glorify Him. 

It has been said if one abuse something they are subject to lose it. And what many believer are seeing within the body of Christ is that there are individuals that are sitting on their gifts. 

Join Pastor Daniel Estell and I as we will be celebrating the 100th episode along with discussing, "Don't Sit On Your Gift." Remember only what is done in Christ will last.

As a child many young girls had dreams of becoming an athlete, joining the military, obtaining a professional career or becoming first responder in a male dominated field. As the young lady became an adult, many obtained an education, received professional training and prepared for their dream career only to become disappointed. Many have endured challenges that many of authority either have closed their eyes or refuse to believe that such challenges, attitudes, perceptions  and behaviors still exist. 

We witnessed this in our last political election. It exist in the board rooms, military, law enforcement, and even with our first responders. So what are we now to tell our daughters, grand daughters or little sisters as they want save lives or make a difference in the world? Yet many careers are still dominated by men. This can't be ignored anymore. 

Many women have walked into male dominated careers or worked places and perform well yet do not receive the promotions or recognition that they deserve. A woman should not have to be discriminated against, mistreated, harassed, sacrifice their values, reinvent their personality or be under paid. Let's educate others and break those gender biases that continue to exist.

When it comes to getting married, many have done so and walked down the aisle, stood before the pastor, and others dispite the counsel of others knowing that their relationship was in trouble. There are also those that did not receive pre marital counseling for whatever the reason. There are also those that received counseling and truly believed that the marriage was going to work. Yet something happen. Then one cry out to God, friends and family, only to stand before a judge in Divorce Court.

It is a known fact that a marriage takes work. And when one is trying to live a Christian lifestyle that can make being married even harder. One ahas to be committed to putting in the time and effort to maintain the marriage not to mention put God first, seek pastoral counseling or other professional help. 

There are often several things that can occur within a marriage as each relationship is unique. After last weeks comments and reviews, join Pastor Daniel Estell and I as we provide a follow up and discuss The Dangers Of Being Unequally Yoked. All callers are welcome.

What does it mean to be equally yoked? Sounds like a simple question yet ones response may vary. This can make the dating process complicated. If you grew up in church you may have likely heard of being equally yoked as it is referenced to relationships. It may also be used as a guidance as to how to select a mate or life partner. 

2 Corinthians 6:14 says "Do not be yoked together with unbelievers." So when one goes from dating to marriage it is often then that many find that they may be in trouble. It is not easy to say no to a relationship that is less than God's intention. I can recall when a young couple would say that they were in love and a senior would advise otherwise. If this is God's perfect plan then why are so many believers missing the mark?

Being a parent is not easy nor does it come with a manual. The feelings and emotions that a parent can experience can become overwhelming if not addressed appropriately. 

Children are given to us as a gift from God. However being a parent never ends.   Children must grow up. Parents may miss their companionship or daily contact. Different cultures have different beliefs when it comes to the process that will naturally transpire once a child becomes a young adult. This brings us to the topic: Empty Nest Syndrome. Empty Nest Syndrome is a feeling that may present as grief or loneliness that a parent may feel when their children leave  home for the first time, such as to live on their own, graduating high school or  college, military, or perhaps getting married.

Understanding the feelings that proceed be it anxiety or depression is often misunderstood and can affect the life of both the adult child and parent. There are steps that one can take to prepare for this prccess. If left untreated the symptoms can make one vulnerable to depression, alcoholism, identity crisis or marital conflcts. With help there are possible benefits which could consist of new opportunities to reconnect with one another, improve the quality of life ofones marriage, or perhaps rekindle interest which one previously felt that they did not have time for.
