The Weight Of The BackPack Called Life

Image
  *This message was inspired by Pastor Rodrigo Varela of the Soul Winners Group. Every one of us is walking around with a backpack called life — filled with memories, both good and painful. We’re all carrying something. Life is like a backpack we never take off — lessons, and experiences. Some of those things are good: moments of joy, family, accomplishments. But others? They weigh us down: pain, trauma, unforgiveness, bitterness, mistakes.  But here's the truth: If you don’t remove the trauma, anger, unforgiveness, sin , and everything that weighs you down, you won’t have room for the Holy Spirit .  God doesn’t dwell where darkness remains.  God wants to dwell in you, but He doesn’t share space with darkness. The Church Is Your Friend The church isn't here to judge you — it’s here to tell you the truth and guide you to freedom. Don’t carry your pain in silence. Lay your burdens at the feet of Jesus.

Holistic Wellness Matters (June)


 

 Holistic wellness matters because it addresses the whole person — mind, body, and spirit — instead of treating just symptoms or isolated issues. 

Here's why it's essential:

🌿 1. Promotes Balance

When we are aware and care for our mental, physical, emotional, and spiritual health collectively, we create harmony in our lives. One area out of balance can affect all the others.

🧠 2. Prevents Burnout and Breakdown

Ignoring emotional wounds or physical fatigue can lead to stress, sickness/illness, or emotional collapse. Holistic wellness helps us check in and course-correct early.

💖 3. Encourages Self-Awareness

It helps us ask ourselves deeper questions:

How am I really feeling?

What do I need right now—rest, connection, healing?

This kind of awareness leads to growth and transformation.

4. Supports Long-Term Healing

Rather than quick fixes that may lead to re-occurrence, holistic practices guide us toward sustainable healing — emotionally, spiritually, and physically. Do what works for you!!

🤝 5. Strengthens Purpose and Connection

Holistic wellness is our reminder, we’re not just surviving — we’re here to live with intention, connect with others, and grow into our purpose.

🙏 6. Honors Your Divine Design

You were created as a spirit, mind, body-whole being. Tending to every part of yourself honors how God created you and helps you walk fully in your calling/purpose.
