ShiningLight: At my Godchild's home

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!

At my Godchild's home

I am back from one week of refreshment, one week of learning, one week of receiving and giving, one week of love and one week of joy and relaxing. I spent the last week in the countryside nealry 2 hours away from Franfurt at my Godchild's home. His name is Falk, I was there at his dedication and I saw him every year in the summer. He is 2 and a half years old and my delight. I spent the time with his mom who has become like a big sister to me. Sandra and her family lived underneath my appartment when I lived in Frankfurt 4 years ago. We always drank cappuccinos together and had wonderful talks. Falk's two bigger brothers always loved to draw and paint with me which we did this week...again and again. I will write more about that time and about what God showed me .... here are some pics for now...
