Miracle #2 - I Already Have Everything I Need

Yesterday I made the commitment to put Source first in everything I do by asking the Holy Spirit for guidance as advised in A Course in Miracles. I'm trying to consciously keep my thoughts focused on God and his will. 
My biggest issue with trusting the Holy Spirit concerns finances. I always think I have to work and earn an income so I don't end up out in the street.
Even though I have sometimes experienced the flow of money and things coming to me just when I needed them, it still seems difficult to let go of that control.
I set out this morning for my weekend round of garage and yard sale thrifting, in search of things to resell on eBay. Whenever I felt my mind wander, I sang this song by Donna Marie Cary to myself:


I don't know what anything is for,
I give it the meaning it has for me.
I don't understand anything I see,
I give it the meaning it has for me.

I found a few books and toys and made my way back to the house again. 

I logged onto my computer and found that I had made this sale while I was out:

$139.99 for a new-with-tags Eileen Fisher Merino Lambswool Cardigan. 

That a friend gave me.

That she found in the dumpster at her apartment complex.

Thank you, Holy Spirit.

Miracle #3 - The End of Suffering

Photo credit: Jakob Owens I started a free program to learn how to apply the lessons of  A Course in Miracles  to my everyday life on January 1st, 2015. It runs for 40 days and is offered by the  Teachers of God Foundation . Every day there is a video to watch and some reading to do. Each day I have seen very obvious results in my life.  Here is what happened today, January 22, 2015: The lesson was about being uncompromising in devoting time to God each day, in order to move from a state of Right Mindedness to a state of One Mindedness. Lisa Natoli said that many spiritual seekers are already in a state of Right Mindedness - choosing to love, forgive, and treat others with kindness. But ACIM says that once the decision to stay in Right Mindedness has been accomplished, God will reach out and join with us in One Mindedness. At that point "your whole thought system will be completely replaced and transferred back to Wholeness". Then, the ideas of weakness, sickness, dea

Miracle #26 - I Am Sustained By The Love Of God

  I recently began working at a local farm one day a week. My daughter works there and I ride in with her. Our boss had been assigning us to work together, so that she could show me how to do things. However, last week she had a morning dental appointment, so she just dropped me off at 8:30 am. I expected her to come back to work right after her appointment, and I left my lunch box in her car.  When she reported for duty, she was assigned to work at a different location. Not only was I missing my lunch, but my bottled water and my phone charger. I was dropped off in a field in the middle of nowhere, with instructions for using the tractor to plant sorghum seed, and left alone! I started work, hoping that I would finish soon and could call for pick-up. After a few hours I looked at my cell phone and realized that my battery was extremely low. I sent my daughter a quick text message letting her know my location, and then my phone died! There I was, with no way to contact anyone in an eme
