Finding My True Purpose with Holy Spirit’s Help

by Rev. Derek Marmon, Ordained Ministerial Counselor

I’ve been studying spirituality for over a decade and A Course in Miracles since 2017 and in December of 2019 I had a startling dream that led me to seek out Pathways of Light.

In the dream I sat uncomfortably squished between two men wearing dark suits in the back of a limousine. I remember feeling anxious and stuck between these two individuals as if I had to make some kind of choice.

In a moment of rage I screamed out “I was never supposed to be salesman! I was supposed to be a minister!”

I awoke with a hot sweat and tears running down my face.

I knew in that moment that my current life as a salesman needed to begin to transition into a life of ministry, however, God may have that look.
Some people don’t know what they’re supposed to do with their life. I am not one of them.

I spent the next few months looking for the right pathway to ministry. I knew I wanted something based on A Course in Miracles and also something that allowed flexibility and freedom of expression.

I kept coming back to the Pathways of Light website and as soon as the country shut down due to COVID-19 I knew it was time to begin this journey and heal my mind and ready my soul.

My Time with POL has been a true blessing, the material, my facilitator Rev. Maria Felipe and now my current teachers and classmates during this last step have made for a joyous learning experience, a deepening of my understanding of ACIM and has created a deep healing for myself.
