I Can’t Validate You!

livingwholecoaching

I can and will give you inspiration, motivation, and affirm you through my words, but one thing I can not do is validate your soul.  The one thing that lies empty in your spirit that is longing for validation can only be filled with the love of Christ.

I have been reading a chapter from: Captivating – Unveiling the Mystery of a Woman’s Soul by John & Stasi Eldredge, to prepare for an upcoming BlogTalk radio show.  The most interesting thing about this chapter entitled: Arousing Adam is a great eye-opener to what we as women fail to do in our relationships with the men in our lives.  Yeah at first glance the title might take your mind somewhere else, as it did me when the hosts of the  show invited me to join them as a guest host to talk about “Arousing Your Man (Adam)”.  Immediately we think carnally about arousing a man in the natural, but this information is much deeper.  A spiritual arousal that we as woman can do for our men.  But one of the most amazing important revelations of the chapter was that we can’t validate Adam’s soul and neither can our Adam validate ours.

But we often turn to each other to do just that and that is when we miss the mark of our role for each other.  However, the part that we should be playing is the arousal of Adam’s spirit and soul to seek out it’s true validation from God.  We have a wonderful, perfect role to play as  women and when we understand that place we can experience the type of love that God created for a husband and wife (women and men) to have.  We can affirm, inspire, and motivate our Adam that he is a man in every sense.  We can need him as our help mate and we “believe in him”.  This sisters is our role.  And from the man, he can affirm, inspire, and motivate us to know that we are a woman in every sense.  Our femininity arouses his masculinity.  We allow him to be the hero that he is born to be, the man.  He in turn can inspire us to be feminine as he is attracted to the beauty inside and out that makes us a woman.  God created us to be that for each other and it is wonder to behold when we get it right!

Unconditional Love – Priceless

livingwholecoaching

After spending almost an entire 24 hours in the hospital with my mother yesterday, who was having chest pains early Wednesday, we were blessed to find out that her heart is in great condition!  It was a blessing to spend the day with her even under those circumstances.  It bought to my attention how blessed we really and truly are.  My family and extended friends were there for us and for that I am truly thankful!  It reminds me that it’s not the big triumphs in life that make it all worth while; but it is the little things that we often take for granted.

My siblings and I are not used to seeing our mother in such a vulnerable physical state and it brings to our minds that she is getting older and her body is showing those signs.  We have always seen her as this strong woman of God not letting anything stop her from doing what she needed to do.  Often times putting her on needs aside to tend to ours.  Now she needs us to come along side of her to help her through these physical issues that have decided to change her body.

As I watched over her resting in the hospital bed, the thoughts of her doing the same for me when I was a child touched my heart.  I thanked God for allowing me to have such a wonderful person as a mother and father in my life.  Not only has she touched my life in a positive way but she has deposited lots of love and inspiration into my daughter and my grandchildren.  They are blessed to have her in their lives.  She is our best friend, our advocate, our mom!

Take the time today to reach out to your loved ones wherever they may be what ever the circumstance of your relationship and try to make it right.  Life is too short to harbour feelings of anything but love.  I challenge you to choose to move past any hurt or pain and begin a new life today with God with you.  You won’t regret it.

Today I am thankful for the unconditional love of my mother, my family and friends and most of all the love of Christ who died so that I could be free!

Happy Thanksgiving!
