The Trip to St. Cloud, Florida

Well, we are here in Florida! We have rented a home in St. Cloud where Mary and Robert will continue with the work on preparing translated course materials, DVD’s, CD’s and web site updates as they were in Wisconsin. Until the property sells, Rev. Sharyn Zenz will continue the primary office functions in Wisconsin, including bookkeeping, filling orders for courses, books, etc., preparing promotional materials for ministers, answering the phone and serving as liason to ministers and students.

The trip to Florida was filled with miracles. Diana and Jim Klapperich (long-time members of our Wednesday night study group from Fond du Lac, Wisconsin) came down with us to help with the move. We filled the largest U-Haul truck with what we needed to take with us and also filled the van we have. The morning we started on our journey, we all joined in quiet with the Holy Spirit and committed to following His lead all the way. The trip took 2 and a half days. We all noticed that we had plenty of energy throughout the day to go as far as was needed.

We had an interesting experience along the way that reinforced our need to follow Spirit in everything we did. At the end of the first day of traveling, we stopped at a hotel. They told us that every hotel in the area was filled because of an ice storm that had hit recently in Kentucky and Tennessee. We found out that the electricity was out for about 200 miles and everyone had to find hotels outside that region. The man at the hotel was very helpful and called around to find us a place about 20 miles back on the road we had traveled.

We rested comfortably that night and in the morning Spirit told us not to go to breakfast at a place right next to the hotel like we thought, but to go to breakfast at a place down the road right next to where we originally had stopped the night before.

When we reached the exit to go to the restaurant, the road beyond the exit was blocked because a truck had overturned. The waitress at the restaurant we were guided to told us that the road would be blocked until noon. She gave us an easy detour around the accident that added only five minutes to our trip. She also told us to fill our gas tanks because for the next 200 miles there would be no electricity. We were very grateful for this valuable help and were grateful to Spirit for directing us to this helpful woman.

The area where the ice storm had hit was quite remarkable to drive through. The road we were driving on was clear, dry and cleared of fallen trees. But there was a thick coating of ice on every tree which caused them to bend down and break with the weight of the ice. It was like we were in an ice cathedral. The sun was glistening through the ice and it was quite a remarkable experience. A sheet of ice blew off a truck that passed us and it looked like it was heading right for our windshield. But at the last second it lifted up and went over our van. It reaffirmed to us that we are safe in the Arms of God.

Along the way we read The Book ON… and Jesus Answers to each other for inspiration. We also had walkie-talkies so we could communicate between the two vehicles. We really had a lot of fun. Jim and Diana are wonderful angels to travel with.

We reached our destination in time to meet Abe Perez, the man who owns the property we are renting in St. Cloud, Florida, which is just southeast of Orlando. He was very helpful in explaining everything. We had hired two helpers to take the boxes and furniture off the truck and into each appropriate room. They were professional movers and so they knew exactly what to do and had the equipment needed to accomplish the task efficiently.

Annie Arbona, who is in charge of the translation of all the courses into Spanish, is also moving down here close to us. She drove down from South Carolina to visit us and look for a suitable home to rent. When she came to visit, she brought with her three wonderful couples from Puerto Rico: Elena and Arturo Diaz, Enid and Quintin Rivera, and Pedro and Blanca Toro. Elena and Enid are taking the Pathways of Light ministerial training program.

We had a wonderful time together. We simply seated ourselves together in a circle and put Spirit in charge. We just followed Spirit in the moment and a remarkable healing occurred for all of us. We were filled with a strong sense of peace and joy. We had not met before in physical form, but the feeling of connection and oneness was very strong. We felt that this meeting was the birthing of a new chapter in Pathways of Lights role in Holy Spirit’s plan of undoing the dream of separation.

As we follow Spirit in each present moment, the exact inspiration will come to us as we are ready and willing. An example of this came to us in the last two days when we were expecting the delivery of a new color printer. It did not arrive when we thought it would so Robert called the trucking company that was supposed to deliver it. They told him that they would not have a way to unload the 240 pound printer from the semi truck. Robert said we would pick it up at the trucking location. Yesterday we had a wonderful adventure picking up the printer. The man there was just a delight and it was wonderful connecting with him. Robert, by quietly following Spirit in the present moment, was able to get the printer from our van and into the appropriate room. We are now printing catalogs and Miracles News magazines to ship to San Francisco for the International Conference for A Course in Miracles, which is coming up later this month.

We apologize for taking so long to communicate about our journey, but this seems to be the right time. While Robert has been getting the catalogs and Miracles News booklets made I have been working on Rev. Myron Jones second part of her new audio book on healing relationships. As I have been working on preparing the recording for publication, I am filled with a sense of gratitude and joy for Myron’s dedication to her healing and her sharing her process with us in a way that heals us all. Her work is remarkable and you will really enjoy it when it comes out. We are deeply grateful for having Myron in our lives. She is truly one of God’s messengers of peace and understanding. We will be seeing her soon in San Francisco.
