November 2020 Theme – 28 Days of Transformation

by millig2 · Published November 6, 2020 · Updated December 13, 2020

At Romans 12:2, we are told, “Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind.” For the next 28 days, we will engage in a journey of transformation.

November 8 – The Process of Transformation
Today, we use the caterpillar that would be the butterfly as our teacher and guide. We can learn a great deal about our journey through his process of transformation, which is a true metamorphosis. This day promises to be uplifting and inspiring with a special gift for everyone who attends.

November 15 – The Call of Transformation
Just like the call of the butterfly is within the caterpillar, the call of transformation is within each one of us. What is calling you? What is your next revolution around the spiral of evolution? Today, we help discern the answers to those questions by listening to the C.A.L.L.

November 22 – Navigating Transformation
As we experience the newness of a transformed life, we may not be completely comfortable in our own skin. We may not yet quite know how to navigate life in this new way. Using an analogy taken from the sports world, Rev. Terry will walk us through the steps to find our way in the newness of it all.

November 29 – Transformation through Trouble
Mother Teresa is quoted as having said, “I know God will never give me anything I can’t handle, I just wish He didn’t trust me so much!” Whether she actually said that or not is irrelevant. What is important is that often our greatest moments of transformation come through troubling times. Today we bring some wisdom to this idea, wisdom that will support us in those transforming moments.

This Month’s Affirmation
As I renew my mind, I transform my life. As I answer the call, I evolve my consciousness. As I stand for transformation in times of trouble, I transcend them. And, as I commit to all of this, I am a living testament to God’s Beauty, Power, Grace and Love.

Even when it appears that love is absent from all around you, you can choose to be the Love. This month Rev. Gina Milligan will explore a variety of ways to be the Love in every situation. Change your life; change the world! December 22 – How to BE LoveThere is no question for which love is not the answer. No problem for which love is not the solution. No cause for which love is not the means. When we know this, fundamentally, we’re open to hear and see our angel-moments. December 29 – Love Is…We have been trained to live from a place where we play silly games to keep others’ opinions of us high. In doing so, we become so busy in living for the acceptance of others, that we forget to live for ourselves. Put another way, we are in a constant state of calling out for love. But when we are calling out, we cannot truly, deeply BE the love that this world so desperately needs us to be. January 5 – Much LoveThe Burning Bowl concept is reintroduced as a reminder of how to release our disharmony so we can fully express our love. Continuing a look into how to be Love, Rev. Gina creatively uses her body as a metaphor for the interconnectedness of all that is and tells a beautiful story from the Kuan Yin Chronicles. January 12 – Love Much?Following the catastrophic week of heavy wind and fire devastating the Los Angeles area, Rev.
