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 American Idles :)

My American Idols : OK, after all this American idle whirlwind I decided to tell you WHO my American Idles are: Friends of mine...people that I have been around for the past 3 years or longer either in Germany or here in Oregon are my American or German "idles": let's start with Arne Kopfermann, a well known worship leader and worshipper of heart who calls The Ichthys Gemeinde in Frankfurt Germany his home. Then we have Steve Kunselmann, my best friend's husband, coming from Portland Oregon now living in Frankfurt .. then I will turn to my schwester Stephanie Williams, she is an awesome songwriter and a true worshipper as well, good songs come out of a heart that is sold out for GOD..Stephi is the furthest right lady on the following pic .. then there is the GREEK, Aris, whose worhipper heart is growing and growing and his first song is amazing- show them Ari!!! now I am moving over to my American idles and friends, there are many many talented creative worshippers at heart, people who inspire with their songs and their hearts that truely worship. Carina Austin, an artist, a songwriter and a singer before the Lord, check out her stuff on myspace (carina austin) then there is Andrea McCaffrey, woman of God, whorshipper and leader Joy Russel who leads and lets the Spirit move big time....do I have a picture of Joy..... then there is Marcus Hatchcock, a man after God's heart, true worshipper and songwriter, check him out on myspace: marcusstar Then we have Anthony Foster, a whorship leader with such a big heart for GOD, a humble man of God, a songwriter : then there is Sherry and her husband Tim Machura Lystra's Silence, man they are whorshippers and such creative and humble people, they are true American idles check them out on myspace!! My Michelle, she has a voice and she has a testimony, she is an Maerican Idle and my hero! then there is Brian Austin who has so much to give, so much inside of him that deserves to be put into a song, he is a worshipper and singer.... then there is Mychal Hales, a worshipper and radical man of God, someone who learnt to wait for God to do what needed to be done: it is the guy on the left with the guitar :) then there is Alyssa whose beauty in creative music and song is being displayed more and more, she has a story and out of that story come the words insoired by God! there is Martina and her husband Troy and Jason Burns and Ray from Tray michaels, there is Josh Daily and Lee so many more these are my American Idles!!! These are true idols, not that crap that we see on TV!! May God bless them all, may HE show them the way every day!! Kerstin
