ShiningLight: Kerstin's adventurous SUPERBOWL sunday

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!

Kerstin's adventurous SUPERBOWL sunday

So here I am, back from a very fun sunday adventure at my friends' house (Travis and Alexis - you rock!!). Superbowl, I just need to write a blog entry on that one. First of all, let me remind you guys, I am German, so Football is really SOCCER and the ball is round not like an egg. Anyway, it was a lot of fun. IntersePtions, red flags and yellow flags....of course touchdowns and kickoffs. Man, I learned some new stuff today. Still I was amazed that I managed to miss when the score changed. I mean, really, the score would be the same for sooo long that I get bored and right then something happened and I missed it. BUMMER! The one thing I had a hard time understanding was the :fieldgoal-thing (3 points coming out of nowhere, it just was 16:14, now it's 19 to 14) oh well. Good food and awesome fellowship though and a lot of nice people who would explain to a German greenhorn what this or that rule REALLY means! thanks guys!

I was sad for the Bears because they really started off so well with that Touchdown in the FIRST minute. oh well, congratulations to the COLTS! What did you do on SUPERBOWL sunday? Did you meet new people?

I met new people, held a bunch of cute little babies and had a divine appointment concerning my art!'

love to hear from you-

go and comment- tell me what you did.....
