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!

19th of January 2000- Lausanne/Switzerland

I found this picture and my heart bounced! This was right after I was welcomed into God's family 8 years ago in a very nice little appartment in Lausanne at a Bible study. I loved that appartment. When I entered that appartment for the first time, I sensed such peace in there. I had been longing for that kind of peace for all my life. It was in december 1999 for a Christmas party. Man, I was so glad that there was no CHristian style ...any Christian stuff around, only games and fellowship. Good party, Christine!!! I do remember well :) I still sense this peace when I enter appartments....it is like my soul exhales and I feel God's peace! Good stuff!!!!Good times!!!

Holy smokes, I have MUCH better fashion in eyeglasses now... :)

I was skinny too.... bug-eyed! (shudder)

Well look at us now... we've figured out a little better fashion (no corny "religious" style, that's right!) You're looking lovely and I've never been better... God is good.

Happy 8 years of really living!
