Just Thoughts About Our Path

 Dear Kids, 

Your dad and I have been on this journey of further spiritual growth and enlightenment. It's been happening for a while now, but intensified when we decided last December that we were going to meditate for 30 days every night. 

We had been meditating before then for quite a few years, but it wasn't as concentrated as this latest attempt. Your dad really felt like we needed to give uninterrupted time for meditation and so we did. That journey has led us spiritually to a totally different place. 

It's also fascinating because we started it with telestial motivations in mind, and the Lord in His mercy has moved our experiences to a completely different place with celestial motivations instead. 

I don't know if I could begin to describe the changes that have taken place, but they are marvelous and amazing. We have had manifestations of Christ in our lives, in our minds, in our hearts. Often I will feel Jesus come to me in these quiet moments and lift me. 

We have also felt for quite a while that we needed to do some Becoming Spiritually Centered Podcasts, based on what we had learned ourselves from the curriculum that Brother Cox put together so many years ago. That program has helped us in our daily application and interactions - those skills have been paramount to what we have personally gone through and experienced. 

We had the impression a couple years ago to do the podcast - but for various reasons it has kept being put off. We haven't made time for it or we couldn't come together on our thoughts and preparation about it - or any number of things that just happened because of life and kids and job and family and all the things. 

We have recently renewed our decision to do the podcasts. It has to happen. 

Specifically it has to be put together because we have recently been told that is the FIRST step to everything else that we are praying about and inviting into our lives. 

I love you kids, 

Your Mom
