Education and Truths

It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.  ~Aristotle


I have grown to know that education can in fact open up amazing doors in the mind. Education is the one thing in my life that has allowed me to free my mind. To not so readily accept the accepted and to challenge those things that popular thought willingly receives. On my journey to finding myself and Christ. The one thing that has kept me focused is the ability to stay in a state of learning. To never rely on what I know as being factual, because knowledge is fluid and every corner that we turn disputes and challenges what we think we know. I used to think that confident all knowing people had all of the answers, but I now know that we all are really unsure. Because surety is fake--nothing is truly for sure. 


No one really has all of the answers, we are all traveling on an unsure journey that leads us to the things that make sense to us. The things that give us a sense of peace and confidence in what we know.  Finding where Christ resides in my life was my greatest epiphany, it told me that we all search for a sense of spirituality and we commonly seek it outside of ourselves--to find out that, what we are seeking from the things and people in our lives--lies at our core. It has always been with us --we just have to live a little to find out that it resides within us.


Education is the vessel that allows us to uncover the layers of truth about ourselves and the world around us. When we rely on solely one or two knowns in our lives then we cannot get to anymore truths.  We become stifled and closed to receiving new information. I am committed to being a life long learner exploring as many aspects of the world that I can find--- as to broaden my truths and my paradigms.  The world is way to vast to rely on one set of beliefs to close our minds to the many truths that surround us. When we find our set of truths.. we must hold them steadfast and then open our hearts and minds to the new truths that they uncover. Education is the key to unlocking more of our truths and the truths around us.


So this week ladies open your mind to education and watch your truths manifest.


Go Forth and Do Amazing Things This Week!

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...

Christmas 2018 Reflection

Image
As I reflect on 2018, I am just amazed and at awe of how God has grown me, things that have pained me for years are slowly moving away and I am beginning to see the "me" that I have worked so hard to master..Broken places are being healed and love is beginning to peak through to reveal its magnificent power, Life is messy and at times it can feel almost overwhelming, it can literally take your breath away. But at the end of the rope is where God steps in and takes charge,.. if you believe it.. He makes things that were once muddy (clear)..he tells you who you are and who you are not. He is honest with you even when the people around you are not. He soothes, he comforts and most importantly he restores. We all walk around with the facade of busyness, I'm too busy to spend time with you, I'm too busy to call, I'm too busy to check on you..Busy, Busy, Busy. But I have come to know that the busyness that we experience-- is really just you making time for ...
