Today I Have a Choice

Robert:  I have great gratitude that the Holy Spirit is ever present in my mind to guide me in every moment. It is the awareness of this Presence and remembering to turn to It for guidance that maintains my sanity. There are still so many things to do and details to be remembered that it is easy for me to make up stories that are overwhelming in my mind. On the one hand I get impatient with it seeming to take so long and on the other hand it seems like part of me is already in Florida.

The key is to remember to disregard the ego’s interpretation of everything and turn instead to the Holy Spirit for Its interpretation of everything. When I remember this, peace reigns and everything moves forward with ease. If I follow the ego’s thought system, I feel overwhelmed. I am grateful that I recognize now that I have a choice. So this is another day that I dedicate to following Holy Spirit’s lead, knowing that it is the path to the sanity of remembering I remain as God created me.

Mary: This morning as I take time to go to Spirit to receive peace and clarity, the picture of a child’s sandbox came to mind, like in Pathways’ course 210: Star Child. I am reminded that I am spirit. I am reminded that this world is just like a sandbox that children play in, pretending and making up stories that seem real to them in the moment. I am reminded that I am not a body and that the story I am currently experiencing is just a story. It is not the eternal truth.

This helps me not take things so seriously while we prepare this facility for sale and move forward on our next stage of the game in Florida. This helps my level of trust. This helps restore a peaceful state of mind. The one Son’s Home is Heaven and we are all there right now, no matter what appears to be happening in our made up sandbox stories of the moment.

Today Rev. Annie Arbona, who is in charge of the Spanish translations, will be taking a tour through a facility just south of Orlando. She will be taking pictures so we will get a clearer idea of what the facility looks like and whether it would meet our needs. I feel hopeful about it, but right now it is helpful for me to remember not to get too attached to any particular form.

If I remember we are just playing in a sandbox and it is only the Holy Spirit That knows what is best for everyone concerned and the timing that is perfect, it helps me relax through this process. I am thankful to remember I do not know what anything is for, but the Holy Spirit does. Today I will practice once again stepping back and letting Holy Spirit lead the way in the present moment.
