NOTE FROM ELLEN
One of the more difficult spiritual lessons that we teach in Unity is that we have a "need" for every experience that we have. Louise Hay in her many books explains this principle very well. You Can Heal Your Life book is probably her best book on this subject.
I have personally been doing a lot of thinking about that principle during the last 2 months as I have had a cold that I just could not shake. I am finally coming to the end of the cold and a "light bulb" went off in my mind. All during the busy holidays and up through today I have noticed that even though I was not feeling particularly well, I have been feeling very energized too. It seemed an odd combination to be sick and energized too.
But then I realized that I have put a priority on lots of rest and self care in order to heal. If I was at the church and felt my energy fading, I would go home and take a nap. I did not want the possibility of a relapse. I deliberately gave myself permission to sleep late. I did not do things that would deplete my energy.
I am now realizing that I have needed to rest and take better care of myself for months. I needed a "health time out" (plus good daily self care) to regroup but never took one so my body forced me to do it by getting sick. Now that I am feeling so much better, I am looking at the yearly church calendar and planning "time outs" and rest on my days off.
We each have our own situations to look at but we draw to our lives exactly what we need to help us "wake up" to what is missing or needs to be changed. If you have lost your job, you probably need or deeply desire a change. Life will sometimes "kick in" and help you out by causing a loss of a job. This extends into all areas: relationships, finances, health, etc.
Basically life is "on our side" no matter what is going on. The good news is that we can "tune in" to guidance and help through prayer and meditation. Jesus called this help the inner comforter. If you have questions about your experiences, ask and you will receive the answers you are needing.
This Sunday we are having Dwain Briggs as a guest musician. Don't miss his beautiful and inspirational music.
Plus we are having our first potluck in months as our kitchen is now ready and we have lots of room.
See you soon!

VISIONING CLASS
(each Wednesday 7:30 PM)
Ellen Davis and Lane Pierce Facilitators
The class is currently working on putting their goals in writing to correlate with the images in their books.
Visioning is all about dreaming, fantasizing, clarifying and energizing your life. You decide what it is you want in your life and then begin to envision those things. By collecting and organizing images of items or important words you can surround yourself with images of who you want to become, what you want to have, where you want to live, or where you want to vacation, your life changes to match those images and those desires. Between Ellen's commitment to the system of Visioning and Lane's commitment to goal setting there are many lessons to be learned in any one night of Visioning class.
This class is supported by love offerings.
