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"

BACK in the USA

Hi, I am back.....24 hours of flight and a nasty guard and security person in minneapolis... after some sleep in my bed...well my hostfamily's bed. What is mine these days? not much but that is right and fine with me....I totally realized how I so do care less about goods and possessions. When I was in South Africa, I did not want to buy buy buy buy... o I wanted to relax and take it all in. I am processing all that has been happening in the past 2 weeks....amazing. God is good and once again i saw how little my faith is. There is a lot to blog about and I will do so in the coming days and weeks, trust me.
Thank you God for calling me to such a beautiful place! Thank you for doing that againa nd again, first you let me be born in Germany...what a beautiful country..then you call me to Oregon (wow, green and simply wonderful) and now it is Cape Town. I praise you Lord!!!!
