Alignment

Pauline Respress, BAS, M.Ed student
Sometimes the universe will align it self as to amaze you in what occurs in your life. Sometimes we can begin to connect the dots and see why certain things,  just had to happen. Some things are meant to happen at a certain; an appointed time. We meander through life and experience all sorts of life changing events.

We see each event as a separate occurance, each event teaching us something. But there comes a time when each separate events begins to seem familiar. And the familiarity ...forces us to form a connection, in our thought.  The familiarity,  sings that we must begin to pay attention, and uncover the meaning in the lessons and events of our lives. You see, every experience we endure becomes a part of our virtual filing cabinet and we must decide at an appointed time,  where each event is filed. The familiarity of the event,  depicts.. as to where each event is sorted and eventually when we have obtained enough information in an area, the virtual file is labeled. Labeling the events of our lives is crucial, as it allows us, to make sense of them and to pull them back out for future examination.

Examining our experiences are also an important part of making connections and seeing the patterns in ourselves and the world around us. When we can critically explore our experiences then we are better able to understand them.

I keep a journal of my experience as to have a paper trail of my experiences and to occasionally sit back ; and physically see my own experiences;  and how they create a sort of patch work of, who I am and who I am becoming. This blog is a chronicle of my journey and of how I have grown and what areas I need to grow in.

Growing will only take place when we can look back and see where we came from and not change the past but acknowledge that it once existed, then take the information that we have gathered on our journey... to explore new ways to conceptualize our learning and experiences.

Experience and learning are like building a house; you must insure that the footing of the house is sound, before you can erect a strong and functional building. The building itself will be made of all of our experiences.That are placed in various compartments of the house and that when placed properly.. eventually make sense and begin to feel like a home. And when we have arrived home with our experiences and our learning life and living takes on an entirely new meaning. We begin to understand what the struggle has been about and that all that we have endured has been for a reason.And that every thing that we desire and hope for in our lives, has a season ,that it will manifest and in some cases just merely show up, not because we asked for it,but because it is time.My time!

So this week ladies as you find the alignment in your life remember that things that you hope and desire for in your life will manifest.. in its own time..and that is Your time!

Go Forth and Do Amazing Things!

Kind Regards,

Pauline

Walking On Water

Image
Pauline Respress, M.Ed., We can learn a lot about faith by watching a mere leaf float on water. The leaf calmly floats even though it is surrounded by a vast amount of water. The leaf is not flailing it is accepting where it is and embracing it. This is much how I see faith. I see the spirit as the water and my physical self as the leaf.  My spirit guides me as to where I need to be, but I must trust my spirit to carry me. We become frustrated with our lives when we fight and begin flailing in our spirit. The spirit encamps us, it is our true north, but we must become like the leaf and allow it to guide us. It is a union that we must seek, in order to become one in ourselves. True faith is born out of understanding this union. When we can become silent enough in our heads we can marry the two-- and become stronger in our faith. And then when God leads us to a place, we must activate our faith and dive in--understanding that he will never allow us to sink. We will either floa...

We Must "Be Love" to "Have Love" ....

Image
This journey is teaching me a lot of things, but the most profound lesson that I have learned is that in order to have love in our lives, we must be the love that we want to see. It is easy to be hate, because hate does not require much work, hate does not require-- practicing forgiveness or understanding or compassion; it merely requires finding reasons to not do the work required to get to more love in our lives. Loving at times --can be messy, it requires letting down all of our guards and diving into unknown places --while abandoning all of our fears and reservations. Loving is an action word, it is the rolling up of our sleeves and allowing ourselves to be vulnerable enough-- to take the punches that sometimes accompanies getting to love. We all come equipped with artificial guards that protect and soothe us--they are the warm blankets that protect us from the world. But sometimes in order to get to more love-we must be willing to lower our guard and share the love...

Paschal's Wager

Image
Paschal's Wager is a suggestion posed by French philosopher writer and mathematician, Blaise Paschal, that clearly rationalizes (for me) our belief in Christ.  Paschal believed that in deciding on accepting religion we must first view it as a wager, betting on the fact that God exist and if he doesn't we lose nothing. If he doesn't we have lived a life that is guided by the teachings of Jesus Christ and we have lived as though we have faith, we have also lived an enriched life that is based primarily on love. Some may argue that this rationalization is far-fetched and that they cannot place all of their belief in something or someone that they can not see and that the teachings are merely dogma that people use to hide behind. But for me --I'd rather hide behind love than not--I'd rather be guided by principles that enrich my life than not. What is the alternative? living a empty shell of a life that anything goes and that is guided by our own insatia...
