ShiningLight: MY walk

BEYOND MEASURE

"OUR DEEPEST IS NOT THAT WE ARE INADEQUATE.
OUR DEEPEST FEAR IS THAT WE ARE POWERFUL BEYOND MEASURE. IT IS OUR LIGHT, NOT OUR DARKNESS, THAT MOST FRIGHTENS US.
WE ASK OURSELVES: WHO AM I TO BE BRILLIANT, GORGEOUS, TALENTED, FABULOUS? ACTUALLY, WHO ARE YOU NOT TO BE?
YOU ARE A CHILD OF GOD. YOUR PLAYING SMALL DOES NOT SERVE THE WORLD.
THERE IS NOTHING ENLIGHTENED ABOUT SHRINKING SO THAT OTHER PEOPLE WON'T FEEL INSECURE AROUND YOU. WE ARE ALL MEANT TO SHINE, AS CHILDREN DO.
WE WERE BORN TO MAKE MANIFEST THE GLORY OF GOD IN US. IT'S NOT JUST SOME OF US. IT'S IN EVERYONE.
AND AS WE LET OUR LIGHT SHINE, WE UNCONSCIOUSLY GIVE OTHER PEOPLE PERMISSION TO DO THE SAME. AS WE ARE LIBERATED FROM OUR OWN FEAR, OUR PRESENCE AUTOMATICALLY LIBERATES OTHERS"

(Marianne Williamson - and quoted by Nelson Mandela 1994 at his inauguration!

MY walk

This is me, trying to walk step by step on the road of rocks in my life. The rocks are put there by my God and sometimes I see them, sometimes I don't. I have spent a lot of time on my homework today. It was homework for one of my healing classes that I attend here at East Hill. I found a lot of painful things while jumping from one rock to the next. This is how I feel: I need to be careful to catch every rock right, I am afraid to slip and get hurt. I am afraid to discover the hurt and pain that is underneath a lot of me. I know, this is the road I am on, the road God has me on in this season of my life. When I saw this picture with the woman carefully jumping from one rock to another, I felt reminded of my walk right now and all the time I invest into my healing with Jesus at my side. These were some insights into my soul, I guess....
