God Growing Me Up

 


Since I was born, I’ve been growing up, and it hasn’t slowed down. Since being actively involved in the Movement, I’ve experienced it as that God has been growing me up, often times through the God in all people, in all things. I experience each one of us as a leader simply by being a person on this planet, as each one of us does indeed has an impact. I know this to be true when I look at all my mentors and teachers: the list is endless because it is everyone.

There are the most obvious and consistent ones, which I consider my mentors. These are the ones that I see and talk with most days. They’ve helped me to learn how to navigate through the challenges of the common, everyday work place in loving and caring as well as helping me learn how to love unconditionally, let go of attachments and sacrifice the ego, so that I can stand more fully in the loving. I am truly honored and grateful have each of them in my life.

Then there are the ones that will pop into my life momentarily, and then go on their way just as quickly. I consider these to be my teachers. The blessings are truly endless being in this Movement and being on staff with PTS. I am surrounded by Light bearers, Minister and Initiates – the Light and loving is abundant and obvious. While interactions on the physical appear to be mundane, I frequently hang up the phone or go onto the next email with some level of awareness of the exchange, sharing and celebration of the Christ within.

The other day, I found myself in a grumpy mood that seemed to be lasting through the day. I was fortunate enough to receive a phone call from one of our amazing ministers. I think my grumpiness came across very quickly and before I knew it he was laughing at me and my plight. It was done in such spiritual freedom and loving that I couldn’t help but go with what was present and laugh, letting go of my upset. Moments after hanging up the phone, another incredible minister called. While we conducted business and she briefly shared about the fun she was having in her life, I realized that those spaces that had just been cleared were now being filled with the Light once again, just by her sharing her loving in the simplest of ways. After hours and hours of a lasting grumpiness, in less than 10 minutes – while doing my job – I had a clearing that brought forward joy and giddiness for the rest of the day. These types of experiences are common place for me. It’s not always so easy, graceful and fun, but it frequently is. These are things that I’ve learned in our MSIA, PTS, Insight and USM classes and I get to experience them naturally occur whenever I’m open to it.

As I see it, it’s about the willingness and openness with Spirit that makes it a growing up into leadership. As I move more into just being open and willing, with dedication to Spirit, I experience the loving and spiritual lessons come forward with joy and abundance. And with this, I become a stronger Light-bearer myself and a natural mentor and teacher to others, whether in passing or long lasting, just as this world and this movement has done for me.
