ShiningLight: Cape Twon- funky Town

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!

Cape Twon- funky Town

Driving on the other side is scary! oh my, when I sit int he front deat, I always think we hit a car but then I realize that we actually drive on the other (or the wrong?) side of the road here. Then I look at the moon....it is the flipside of what we see on teh northern side of the world, interesting...it is a smiling moon, not a sad moon. Relationships are forming mroe and more...I am juping in with both feet knowing I have nothing to loose. I realize teh amount of fears in me and know that God is working with me on those. I mean I managed to come to teh States and that was a huuuge leap of faith then.... I am able to do this one,... I am starting to pray for when I will tell my parents and all. I am blessed here in Cape Town and I will come back wow

God you amazing, although this is all way to quick for me...you know I do not like change, but it is YOUR timing , not mine. If it were to be mine, I would not go to Cape town for another 2 years. Thank you Jesus for giving me teh courage to face my fears and to hold on to you- help me to do more of that!!! your sunshine K.
