What I'm Learning

What I'm learning: 

it's not lost on me that since making a self-declaration that I would do my best to rely solely on guidance my life seemingly unraveled in so many ways. Cherished relationships shifted, items of importance were taken from me. Worst of all my most reliable source of strength, my body, begin to show signs of serious strain. These were certainly dark nights of the soul, repeated in stages and all the way up to now. In the Manual for Teachers, an adjunction pamphlet for A Course in Miracles this is outlined in detail as the first characteristics of God's teachers. It's about trust and sorting through the things that have been falsely relied upon in the past. 

so really, it's about letting go.

it's about trust.

I don't know what anything is for, not in any true sense. What are I know are my preferences, demands, and clinging to pleasures. I thought I knew a lot, my whole life was based upon spiritual values and principles I believed in deeply. Yet I didn't really know a single thing. 

and I still don't.

but more than ever now...I'm willing to be shown. 

what I'm realizing is that I've never been asked to sacrifice a single thing, nothing of real value needs to be relinquished. Trust only requires one thing from me - trust. I'm only asked to examine my reliance on anything that is valued by God alone. And then live with the certainty that all things of God will be provided. I will be shown what everything is for. 

I'm asked to trust.

and right now....

that's exactly what I'm learning.
