Marriage Ain't Easy- Let it go!

-
Happy Monday!!!

I hope everyone is doing great today!

Today I want to talk about letting it go.

This is going to sound kind of cliche but the words from Frozen's Let It Go really do have some solidarity to them. Lol
Let it go, let it go, can't hold it back anymore. I know, I know, now you are singing the song...sorry!

We have a terrible habit of holding grudges especially in relationships and marriage. If we could learn to let stuff go, we would probably not have as many divorces in America. We need to learn to talk it out-don't hold it back. If you have to wait for a day or two after an argument to process it and then talk about it without yelling then do so, but don't hold it in for too long. The longer you hold on to a hurt the more it festers and then becomes something way bigger then it was probably ever intended to be. It took me a long time to understand this but man once you get it, it will change your marriage and relationships in general. You guys communication and forgiveness are so important in marriage.
Tonight, I just want to encourage you to let it go! Seriously, if you have been holding on to something your spouse said or did go to them, let it out, and then let it go! Don't bring it back up later in a fight just let it go!

If you have been hurt in a previous relationship like so many of us have been, can I encourage you to work through that hurt and not bring it into your current relationship or marriage. Your current partner is not the bad person. They didn't hurt you! I know that can be so hard especially if you have been cheated on or hurt so deeply. I promise you if you will let that hurt go, you will feel a weight lifted and your current relationship will be 1000 times better.

So tonight go love on your spouse and remember Let it go! :)

Follower of Christ Friday  November 11, 2020 Ever been looking for a specific themed video on YouTube, instead find something totally unrelated but something you still needed to see? That was me a few years ago when I stumbled upon Author and Speaker, Christine Caine telling some of her testimony.  (warning this may be a lot of parphrase)  She was talking about when she was in seminary how one of her preaching professors pretty much told her that she did terrible, and that she should never teach / preach to an audience again!!  I expected to next hear how it made her mad, and how she vowed to him that she would "show him."   I mean she is Christine Caine, this great motivating woman who currently speaks internationally to thousands of people.  She overcame it somehow.  However, what I wasn't expecting was to to hear what really happened.  She said it absolutely DEFEATED her.  She felt shame!  She questioned her worth! She didn't want to and in fact didn't speak fo

Carrie's Story

Hello! My name is Carrie Hunt! I am 26 years old and live in New Albany where I was born and raised. I’m an assistant teacher at West Union Attendance Center and I’m currently pursuing my bachelors degree to become a certified teacher at Blue Mountain College. It’s true when God gives you a calling, you have to follow it! I really don’t discuss personal things on social media. If you ask me a question in person though, I’m very open and honest. In February this year, I was diagnosed with PCOS(Poly cystic ovarian syndrome). PCOS causes many issues for women, reproductive problems, endocrine problems, anxiety and depression.  I don’t let it define me, even on the days where I wish I didn’t have it and just want it gone. Although there is no cure, I choose to fight it, not let it fight me. One in ten million women in the U.S. have it! We are all fighters. I guess I feel the need to discuss it now because I understand it and what it entails. Like I said, I’m an open book. I’m open to discu

Totally in Tuesdays

The Fruitful Woman Happy Tuesday and welcome to another look at The Fruitful Woman. This week will finish out the series. I have enjoyed looking at the Fruit of the Spirit from  Galatians  5 and I pray you have to.  Today brings in our last fruit. The last piece of the puzzle. The last quality of a woman who is in living in a love relationship with God. The final reward. Temperance. Temperance- moderation in action, thought, or feeling: restraint, self-control Self-control - the ability to control oneself, in particular one’s emotions and desires or the expression of them in one’s behavior, especially in difficult situations. It’s no accident that Paul listed temperance as the very last Fruit of the Spirit. God led Him to place this challenging character trait at the very end. My guess; is because self-control is impossible without all the other qualities being instilled first. Without my daily walk with God, without my quiet time with Him, without by obedience t
