It’s been a while since I’ve written something, I guess I haven’t been inspired to. Our last time together was just at the turn of a new year. Have your resolutions fallen through yet?… Just checkin’ lol. It’s May, in the middle of Spring… how do we know? It’s on the calendar, it just is… It’s a new season, even if it doesn’t feel like it.

Isn’t it weird how we get on a roll and do the things that we always do, like wake up, shower, go to work, come home eat dinner maybe watch a little television and then go to bed. And then get up tomorrow and do all those things all over again. Before you know it, one day bleeds into the next, one week is gone, the month turns into a couple of months (hello) and then it’s Christmas time again. And we say to one another… “Where has the year gone?” Crap! and before you know it, you’re 60. K, slow down! I wish I could make a weekend be more than 2 days. Monday morning always begins with a conversation that starts “The weekend was too short…” lol.

If we need the time to slow down… we must be intentional about getting the most out of each moment. What does that mean for you? To me it means doing things that bring me joy, recharges my batters… makes me feel loved. This Self-Development journey really started because I felt unhappy and the dig to discover why. Well, I learned that I was, as my Dad says, “Overexposed but yet underdeveloped” in so many places in my life. And that over-exposure brought damage… damage that may not have occurred if I were covered in the right ways.

Not being covered and loved and made to feel secure through the primary relationships that build you as a person does result, into the kind of “working through your life for wholeness” that can just be daunting. And not doing the work only leaves one hole and gap after another that find yourself climbing out of time after time. Is this what life is all about, really? And with all of that, there’s the work of relationships. Life can be just… impossible.

This is why wholeness is VITAL. Emotionally, feeling out of sorts and responding incorrectly, pschhhhh… Spiritually, unable to be free from “your demons” many of which came upon you through trauma, and physically feeling tired all the time due to carrying the weight of mental, emotional, and spiritual stress. And it’s TIME that makes things better its only the CONNECTION with (the Father) God and the self-work, He guides us to, the protection and covering He provides that brings you to the PLACE that you are meant to be. There’s a place, where everything bitter thing is made sweet. Where rest can be found and answers loving whispered, correction and strength…healing can be found. How do you get there, JUST LOOK UP. It’s in His presence. And if you don’t know how to get there, there is help. You just have to be bold enough to seek it out. Love yourself enough to go after WHOLENESS. Does it feel good all the time… NO, But there are things you don’t want to do, but once they’re done…. you’re glad you did it. There’s nothing like having weights removed, you’ll run a little faster and be able to jump a little higher. Life is better. Try it and see.
