January-March, 2011
As a newly ordained minister of Pathways of Light, my ego often tries to make me feel that I’m not yet worthy of making a substantial contribution to our membership. Fortunately, I have so much faith in our Father in Heaven, that I have the strength to bid these thoughts farewell and I will keep chasing them away till they know they are too weak to try to enter. A large part of me must have felt unworthy of my new title or the Holy Spirit decided to be very forceful about teaching me and others some lessons.
On Sept 26, 2010, I became an ordained minister of Pathways of Light. I did not celebrate that ordination as I would have expected. Problems in my home life and finances lead me to make a quick decision to move from Memphis to Orlando. I had been jobless a little over a month and my daughter wanted to attend law school In Orlando.
My daughter and I sought jobs from the moment we arrived here but the economy is more dire than the politicians wish to admit. Finally, after a few weeks of full time searching and one half hour before starting my Miracles Practitioner Abundance Awareness course, I got called for an interview with a specialty medical practice. After being hired immediately the next day, I was sure I was being saved from further worry and pain. The office needed more emergency help so a few days later, they hired my daughter, too.
Well, in the world of form and dreams, if something is too good to be true than it must be, and it was. We were treated very disrespectfully and the work environment deteriorated over the next two weeks. The staff seemed to lack any understanding of abundance and I wondered how that was a reflection of myself. I questioned my own attitude of gratitude.
Prayers to the Holy Spirit lead us to decide to quit and we left disappointed and dismayed. Shortly after, my daughter took a telemarketing job that was less than candid about how they paid so we had to get food from the free pantries. This past Wednesday night I was talking about my story with Rev. Annie and my Abundance Awareness class. A little later during the class, Rev. Annie was reading a passage and I felt my biological mother speak through her. Not knowing what I was experiencing, she said that the Holy Spirit was telling her that I was being taken care of.
At that moment, in the joy of that light, I recognized in my heart what abundance really means. It felt and feels so wonderful, knowing I am safe and protected in His loving arms. That is an understanding of abundance like I have never known or experienced before. And to further this learning, I found a Gregorian chant titled Moment of Peace which I played over and over as I was channeling our higher Selves.
After listening one last time, I called to join the minister’s teleconference on Sunday. Mary was telling each of us as we called in, that we were having peace extended to us and to extend that peace. This was more validation that I was to find my peace in our Father’s safety and protection, knowing that I could trust him to care for me and us.
It is the Christmas season and time to look with light to a brighter future. Christ lives in us and for us. Praise be to God and to our eternal Oneness.
