I will not lead my life alone today. I do not
understand the world, and so to try to lead my life alone must be but
foolishness. But there is One who knows all that is best for me. And He is glad
to make no choices for me but the ones that lead to God. I give this day to Him,
for I would not delay my coming home, and it is He who knows the way to God.
And so we give today to You. We come with wholly
open minds. We do not ask for anything that we may think we want. Give us what You
would have received by us. You know all our desires and our wants. And You will
give us everything we need in helping us to find the way to You.
This is what I want. Only what the Holy Spirit determines will bring me closer to God. I am through trying to sort it out, deciding what is for me and what is not. The Holy Spirit will tell me and show me. In the meantime I will carry on. How do I know what I want?
As Holy Spirit directs I will follow, continued study and living the Course to the best of my ability. I lay down what Holy Spirit tells me to lay down and I pick up what Holy Spirit guides me to pick up. I will play the holy game of salvation. I will come home to God!
My love for God, home and hearth, my husband and family fueled my decision to devote the rest of my life only to pursuits which brought love, joy, peace, and purpose. I am a writer, seeker, student, and teacher with experience professional and otherwise from waitressing to teaching the English language in China, Taiwan, and Singapore.
I hold a BA in Psychology from Bloomsburg University, which took nearly 30 years to attain while I squeezed courses in between raising my children, journaling, relationships, work, and an assortment of escapades, some of which I would rather forget!
An ongoing passion for reading, writing, adventure, food, and fun, eventually led me to the love of my life, James, whom I met in 1996 and married in 1997. Our life together has been an exciting journey of work and travel, spiritual awakening, and domestic bliss ever since. Although we have experienced the tragic loss of family members and friends through death and estrangement, we have managed to turn our special relationship into a holy one by the grace of God and an acute and growing awareness of “there must be a better way!”
In 2006, I published my first novel, Luella’s Calling, and am currently working on my second, Grover Good and the Stone Chateau. From 2013 through 2018, I worked as a Prevention Education Specialist for Transitions, a local domestic violence sexual abuse victim’s service agency. My work there, fueled by a lifelong enthusiasm for teaching, led me to obtain an MS in Education from Scranton University.
In 2018, I resigned to accompany James on his work travels while focusing on my calling to study and teach A Course in Miracles. To that end, I dedicate the rest of my days to writing, sharing, and teaching the message of salvation found within the Course pages.
