​Discoveries While Wandering

​SYNOPSIS: This Sunday, I will share lessons learned living close to nature and how to apply them in a daily practice. Those who know me are aware of my passion for the outdoors: a passion that includes writing about and photographing nature in all its forms. I see the Spirit in nature. I will share stories of Nature and the take-away that I have received from them. Together, we will explore the topics of abundance, paradox and how they are connected.

​FEATURED MUSICIAN: Amy Jo Ellis

TAKEAWAYS:  How do we go forward when there are unknowns ahead like the twists and turns in an unseen path? There is a tendency to dwell on our fears in situations like this. In moments of fear, we must step forward in faith knowing that when we need it, we will be given an understanding that is necessary to deal with our given circumstances. The important thing is to have faith in moments of uncertainty and take action knowing that we are guided by the presence of God from within. When we have gratitude and expectation that our needs will be met, we are allowed to see the next steps in our path and move forward with confidence that all is well.

I am glad to be with my spiritual community at USCNI and I look forward to sharing my experiences with you. In case you missed all the reminders, don’t forget that we will be celebrating our Blessing of the Waters ceremony this Sunday. Therefore, be sure to bring your water samples to co-mingle during the service. If you didn’t collect water, while traveling this summer, remember that all water originates from the same source. Its life giving qualities and purity remind us of our spiritual nature and universal oneness.

I expect that the music this Sunday will be fantastic. We will have Amy Jo Ellis in the house. She will be accompanied by Gwen Gathercoal on piano and Dagan Williamson on drums with Lisa Sherman as Song Leader. It sounds like a wonderful line up.

I celebrate our divine connection,
