ShiningLight: HAPPY NEW YEAR 2007 2007 2007

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!

HAPPY NEW YEAR 2007 2007 2007

2007 already! Was I ready for it? yes and no. Happy new year to you! So many things have been happening and my little mind has tried to digest all of that. A lot of new learnt stuff and wisdom fills my heart and soul this very day! I will share : I am learning how to be myself , not to be a people pleaser but still be responsible and sensitive. It is a fine line and not possible without the lvoer of my life: Jesus! I am learning how I have put my parents in a box. They have changed and amaze me every day now. God is good, soooo good and He is teaching me more about His abundant grace. I am so self-centered (thank you ALEXIS, that was a good blog and totally confirmed what I have been thinking these days!!), I hardly worship and praise my LORD for who HE IS !! So much performance drivenness. I so do not know how to BE. MAN, I am glad that I can learn with Jesus (He says: Learn from me, do as I do ) Iam realizing how much I want to control things and how much I actually CANNOT control!

Glory be to God in the Highest
