Who is your family?

Wisdom

The gift of wisdom allows people to understand deeper meaning and apply knowledge, beliefs, and experience to every day situations.  Wise, gifted individuals make connections and help other make them as well � to understand the implications of our beliefs and actions.  Those gifted with wisdom often understand root causes of disagreements, conflict, and barriers to growth and development.  People with wisdom help others understand and clarify options to make good decisions.

This was what the Spiritual Gift Assessment said was my primary Spiritual Gift. I have always been one that likes to  analyzing everybody and everything.  I am know as a fixer.  I like for things to be settled an come to a conclusion, hopefully with everyone happy. 

 I am really searching for wisdom right now.  Without going into the drama, I have had to separate myself from most of my siblings in all ways.  It is sad and hurts badly but is the only solution.  I have prayed for resolve and have looked at this definition of Wisdom and made many attempts to use the gift that God gave me but I must now use the wisdom from God to move past the evil and go on with His plan.  I must now make the decision that I know is right.   The "good decision".  

This has led me to think about who my family really is.  I have some amazing friends here that are definitely my family.  Sometime we don't see eye to eye but we all know that there is something that is more important than blood and that is love.  Chris said it in his sermon Sunday.  Love, without love, we have nothing.  I have many of my extended family members that also are very important in my life.  Why, because of love.  Christ love overcame the world, with it, we too can overcome evil and the world!  

So, I will be fine because of the love that Christ has for me, the love I have through him, and the love of my "family" of his people.  

Peace and love to you all!
