Being Open to Holy Spirit in the Present Moment

Robert and Mary: For the past two weeks we have focused on preparing for our move to Florida. We are making sure we have a plentiful supply of courses, CD’s, DVD’s, catalogs and Miracles News magazines for Sharyn to fill orders and send out catalog requests that come in daily. We are also continuing with the translation of the ministerial training courses into Spanish as well as working on the audio book by Rev. Myron Jones, the workshop CD’s by Regina Dawn Akers and Laurent Levy and the workshop DVD’s by Nouk Sanchez and Tomas Viera.

It now looks like in mid January we will drive to Orlando and follow Holy Spirit’s lead in the moment to find a place that will serve His purpose. Janell Renshaw, who is taking the Pathways of Light ministerial program, is helping us to find locations to check out in the Orlando/St. Cloud area.

Robert: This journey continues to be a practice in holding my mind open to the Holy Spirit’s lead. There have been several times in our life when we were led to significant changes in our outer circumstances. In the midst of these changes, we did not have full awareness of how they would unfold over time. In retrospect, these times of change were milestones that marked wonderful openings and expansion in our growth. It feels like this is one of those times.

There are inklings that seem to indicate that what lies ahead is far greater and more joyous than we can conceive of in the present moment. It is not our job to decide what it will look like. It is our job to be open in the present moment to be guided in what to do and when. The underlying feeling is one of great joy and I am grateful. 

Mary: The lesson that I am learning through all of this that comes back again and again is to be open to Holy Spirit in the present moment. The Holy Spirit knows that there is no future and there is no past, but only the eternal now. I often forget this and so I need a gentle reminder from the Holy Spirit that the eternal now in God is all there is. When I let myself be reminded of this, I feel great peace and a quiet inner happiness.

With Holy Spirit, I am invulnerable. Without Holy Spirit, I feel lost and uncertain. The lesson that comes back again and again is a lesson in trust. Everything is unfolding perfect order. I may not know all the steps ahead of time. But of this I am sure: When I am willing to step back, peace and certainty fills my mind and I know that everything is unfolding in perfect order.
