ShiningLight: What my future holds and what I am learning

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!

What my future holds and what I am learning

Looking into great wide open ocean....this is what I was doing maybe 2 weeks ago as we were on our way to see how the Atlantic kisses the Indian Ocean. I was so amazed. What the future may hold for me? What will be in store? I feel I am on the treshold of something big and new. I know some of the things that will happen. I will work in Restoration MInistries in Cape Town, I will work in the field of my passion. The people I will be working with are handpicked as I am handpicked by our LORD. I am learning a lot these days. I am learning how to deal with my high highs and my low lows. I am learning to let Jesus keep my emotions in check. I am learning when I should not take myself too seriously and when I better listen to my thoughts of warning. I am learning balance which is a big thing for someone who is sensitive to bi-polarism. I am learning to trust my God. Things are not always what they seem to be..... I am glad I can look into my future with my God!
