The Goal is Wholeness

Pauline Respress, BAS, M.Ed

When I awoke this morning something kept ringing in my head and it was the word wholeness. I had an epiphany that to be whole, we must know our sum parts. We must know the things in us that feel real, as I continue on my journey I am realizing that in order to find our parts that make up our whole,we must decide wholeheartedly, that in which ,of our parts that we are the most passionate about. We then can begin the work of weaving those parts together. I am truly in search of wholeness, but what I have found in my journey is that we don't find wholeness it in fact find us.It finds us in our spirit, when we can begin to see that in which truly brings us joy. I often think that life is just suppose to be hard, but I now know that it is not hard if we are doing that in which we were designed to do, it is as easy as pie.

When we are doing a task that seems hard to other but to us, we are dancing in the rain in your head. It's because the task is not daunting us; but exhilirating, the mere thought of it brings a sense of peace in your spirit. For me it is pulling together a project, the multi-tasking is what brings me joy.  It allows me to do an amazing balancing act in my head.  Being able to check one thing off of my project list and seeing the project come together from mere ashes, sets me on a spiritual high.

And organization is something I strive to achieve in everything that I do, everything for me has a system and an order to it;  that must be maintained, this is another thing that I was designed to do--make sense out of things that don't make sense. When I tie my passions together one at a time then I can begin to see what I am designed to do--it becomes crystal clear as to what GOD has chosen me to do.  The task is applying it to a meaningful purpose-something that make sense and feels right to YOU.

When your instincts tell you that something is not right for you, then you must follow them--instincts are very powerful and when they are rooted in a faithful communion with GOD then you can't go wrong.  You become his vessel in your achievements and when he is driving ; you are in for an amazing journey. Once we have been placed on the road to wholeness nothing feels the same yet everything has meaning.  And when we become whole, truly whole in body, mind and spirit then all is well and all is whole. We see that the universe is truly connected and that we are one important piece of an amazing quilt. A quilt designed by GOD and his ever knowingness, a quilt made up of you and your gifts connected with others who possess equally important gifts. And when joined together create a combustion of powerful energy that is a true manifestation of GOD.

So this week ladies as you move closer to your whole remember that the key to wholeness lies in the connections that you make in the universe.

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...
