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!

Saturday night and it is not too late. I am glad I decided to stay home tonight, be with the family, watch who is America's next Top Model (it was actually an old season...anyway)with Abby, snuggle with the black labrador Buddy and eat some good chicken from Safeway. All is very slow tonight and I need that after a long and really good day. I have been listening to sermon tapes lately...you know, old stuff , old Ted Roberts sermons form like 10 years ago or so. It is amazing how they so fit to where I am these days. Cool. I need to let go, let go a lot of things and it is so liberating doing it. However, it is also very hard at times but HEY, what ISN'T hard? I say HI to all the bloggers out there and wish you a wonderful evening, a really cool sunday and may we all be refreshed for the new week to start on monday, right? I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels or dark powers, neither things present nor things in the future, things high or low or any other thing may be able to seperate us from the Love of God which is in Jesus Christ our Lord for everything is possible with our God!
