Maintain Peace of Mind……
Move at the Pace of Guidance….
These are the first two intentions in Christina Baldwin’s The Seven Whispers:Listening to the Voice of Spirit. The third intention is: Practice Certainty of Purpose. She basically says that this intention is our commitment to figuring out "why we are here" and "what we are going to do about it".

I believe this is a particularly difficult concept for 21st century people. We have so many messages coming at us telling us to be like other people, live like other people, work like other people, look like other people. It becomes nearly impossible to come to some clarity about what my true purpose is and if I can’t find clarity there, it makes it even more impossible to do something about it! I’ve spent alot of time trying to live and work like other people but the reality is that God only calls each of us to grow into our own best selves, to live up to our own potential not that of another.

Baldwin says"The purpose of life is not to maintain personal comfort; it’s to grow the soul."

To grow the soul……how can we spend time this day in a way that grows the soul? For each of us it will be different. For some it will take silence. For another, deep prayer or reading sacred words.  For another walking in the beauty of this winter day. For yet another, working at the Dignity Center helping those who live on life’s margins. For yet another it will be snuggling with a small child reading a story.

However we do it may God grant us wisdom and patience this day as we seek to come to know "why we are here" and "what we are going to do about it." As we make this an intention, may our souls grow!
