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!

SOUTH AFRICA

So it is official right now: I will have a trip to South Africa in the spring (2 weeks of ministry at a church with restoration emphasis), I believe God has called me there for my next station. Please pray for me as I am walking on water here. Peter was couragous when he got out of that boat to walk on water. I have to say it feels really slippery and wet. I can feel the water around my ancels. But I believe and HE will show me. Right now I am fundraising (have 5 days to get 500 dollars in) and that is not easy but I am excited at the same time: this is part of my calling. Will tell you more about my calling on next blog. cheerio
