Doing Me

Sometimes we have to simply wait, simply sit quietly and wait for that in which we have worked so hard to achieve. God has his own time to manifest things in our lives. He can't give us all of our blessings at one time. If so we would not appreciate the journey to the blessings. The little things that when joined together help us to see what God is trying to tell us. I am experiencing a period of nothingness that I am taking the time to connect the dots,to see what patiently waiting can do for me. I am not used to doing nothing,in my head it says that I am not being productive , not adding to the gross domestic product.

But in fact this period is allowing me to groom some necessary skills while in my holding status. I am working on things that I have wanted to see in my life for a very long time. It is as though God has placed me on a self-vacation that all I am able to see is ME.  And what it is I want for myself. I just want to be alone and hear my own voice in my head and talk with HIM  for further direction.

My soul is saying rest for now.. I can't hear anyone else..I am feeling the vibrations of my own thoughts, my own feelings and becoming one with them. This period is allowing me to make sense of the journey and that is what I live to do..construct meaning. I will have to join the world soon and when I do--I want to keep this place in my head. It is a place that is all mine, that I can bask in me and my spirit. I can shut out the world and hear me and my thoughts...free from what others may think of me..free from the what others may need from me..Simply free to be me...

So this week ladies as you travel on your individual paths remember to take time out to just DO YOU.

Go Forth and Do Amazing Things This Week!

Kind Regards

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...
