I Love You! but things must change....

War is an amazing tool, it at times can change the entire landscape of our lives. I am a peace lover but one thing that I have learned on my journey is that getting to peace at times requires a little war. Some mountains must be gone through and not around. If we continually side step the tough issues or people in our lives then we cannot get to a solution, a win/win for everyone involved.

I've spent a lot of years only applying kindness to the difficult situations and people in my life. But I have also learned that some people do not respond to kindness, some people are not ready to receive kindness because they have things within them that repel kindness away from them. Waging war at times can mean standing on what it is that you believe and no matter what others think or feel --standing. When the winds roar and the people around you do unbelievable things to you--still standing.

Standing on the mere fact that when you have done all that you can do for a person or situation with love... then GOD will step in and carry you through it; and that the universe will at times send angels to help you along your difficult path. I am no longer afraid of a little war, I now know that war is at times the catalyst for change, warring in my mind means--"no more!"--"things must change". Things can no longer exist in the state that they are, we must assess things and find a new way of doing and old thing.

We must acknowledge that there is a problem that needs to be solved and we can solve it together, or I must find my own solutions. But things cannot stay the way that they are, in a perpetual state of one-sided (ness). So I say to you--bring on the war--so that things can take on a new form, a new day and a new way of being!

So this week ladies if your situation requires a little war... tell that mountain... that you will do what you must to evoke change!

Go Forth and Do Amazing Things This Week!

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...
