Blind Faith

Kikakou, a noted poet, has a haiku (a three verse poem) that eludes to a mother leading a blind child to see a cherry blossom. This poem holds great meaning in how we interact in our lives. We are constantly in a state of blindness with the universe and the people around us leading us. We go in and out of blindness, sometimes we are blind and sometimes we lead. Once we can come to know that in the blindness is where our lessons are uncovered --is where we hold onto to our faith in GOD. Trusting that he will not lead us wrong--trusting that the people that he has sent into our lives are his guiding angels. That will lead us out of our blindness--into the light.

If you can imagine with me covering your eyes and allowing someone to lead you, explaining to you every detail of what is around you. And once you have the vision in your head, then you can experience it for yourself, through your own senses and paradigms. This is the process of life --we are student then teacher. Some times we must block out our teacher role and become the student and other times we must become the teacher. And through it all we are at times blind and unable to see--only relying on our faith in GOD. Blind faith is placing all of your trust in GOD and believing with all of our heart that he will not leave us nor forsake us. Trusting that blindness is a good thing--it is in the moments of blindness that we learn more about ourselves. We rely on our senses and become like a child ---experiencing something for the first time. Our senses are in a state of wonderment that has a raw pureness to it, that awakens us to more truth that awaits.

I am convinced that the uncertainty of life can be directly correlated with being in a state of blindness--but the (a) surety in our hearts that blindness is GOD's way of taking our hand ---and leading us to more truth--gives us hope, that where we end up is--"divinely ordered."

So this week ladies remember that when you are in a blind spot in your life --that it is only " GOD" preparing you for more light.

Go Forth and Do Amazing Things!
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...

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 ...
