Thank you for this thought-provoking course. The last two years I have felt led to find my own spiritual truths, and your course has been a very helpful tool in that quest.
Lesson 19– Miracles and Work, spoke directly to issues I’ve been struggling with for most of my adult life.
Having been raised with a Christian mindset, I was taught that doing God’s will (specific to work) would bring fulfillment and peace to my life. But the career path I was supposed to choose to fulfill my purpose was vague at best. Hence, I felt tentative with career decisions. I drive myself crazy because I am always considering new options thinking, “This might be the one”. I usually just end up feeling confused and even guilty for making what could be the ‘wrong’ choice. Yet, I live with this constant nagging that I have a purpose that is not being fulfilled.
Your course teaches that my purpose at work is simply to show love, and this can be done no matter what career I have chosen. What a relief! This means that I am free to choose any work that suits me (which is free to change), and as long as I am working from a place of love, I am fulfilling my purpose!!!
Gifts are something I believe everyone has, but I could never seem to put my finger on mine. When I tried, I would look for profound, ‘spiritual’ gifts, but I always come up short in that department. I believe that if I could identify my gifts, my life would have a clearer direction and a greater sense of purpose.
Learning that anything I do well is a gift makes me feel a part of humanity. And knowing that it is my responsibility in this life to share my gifts gives me a freedom and confidence that I’ve never known. It is my job to take up space on this earth, and to share the essence of who I am with others.
You have given me new fodder with which to question what I have been taught, and to take on new truths as my own. Thank you for sharing your gifts with me.
Namaste,
Rev. Terri Anderson
