Your Next Steps Are Ordered!

I am learning on this journey that no one is truly sure of what the next step will bring. The next steps that we take are new to us and new to the people around us. They are encamped by God's blue print for our lives and that blue print has only been seen by God.

However our goal is to walk with HIM and trust that he will carry us to where we are suppose to be. I recently ran into a car accident that happened in our community, where a young man was knocked off of his bike and lay in the middle of the street covered in blood, and the lady that hit him kneeling where he was knocked off the bike, rocking and praying and screaming out to GOD to help the young man. I ran to her assistance and held her and rocked with her and then suddenly a GOD centered woman came out of the crowd and stood with me to assure the young lady that she was encamped by strong believers.  I am convinced that GOD led me there, to assist in offering the young lady assurance that everything would be alright, to assure her that when two or more come together in prayer, all things are possible.

This told me that when we center ourselves in Christ that he will show up and show out. However we must believe in our hearts that our next steps are divinely ordered and that we need to only to believe and trust HIM. And when we ponder our next steps and the unsurety of them, we must know that all we need to do is to allow ourselves to get into the presence of GOD.. and ask HIM to order our footsteps..and rest assure your steps will be guided to where he wants you to be...

So this week ladies allow yourself time to get into the presence of GOD and watch him guide you to unimaginable places..

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...
