ShiningLight: FundraisingNEWyear2009

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!

FundraisingNEWyear2009

So this is the New Year 2009! Wow! Happy new year to you all! I figured I should write an update on my fundraising. After more than 10 months of being in South Africa (where God has called me), I am really blessed and proud to say that this is exactly where I am supposed to be. I try to obey God in the small things and form relationships here in Cape Town of all places. It is so awesome that I am able to apply my French here as well!! That totally blesses my heart! God knows….- if you want to know more on a regular basis, write an email to me and I can put you on my monthly newsletter if you wish. I am a long term missionary called to make a difference in peoples’ lives in Cape Town at the moment. Read more about how God called me HERE and check out more of my blog posts in the past year or more. Now it is the New Year and I am praying for a monthly support. Please pray with me for a monthly covering while I am trying to be God’s hands extended to a hurting world here.

All I need is several committed givers who see the Lord’s lead in supporting me with 20$ or 20 Euros per month or more for a given time (a year?? Like for 2009??). Last year God provided wonderfully by laying it on peoples hearts (German and American and French!!) to support me financially.

Please pray with me and see what the Lord is doing for I intend to report it here on my blog……. Yes it does take faith and yes it does take commitment. However, at the same time I need to know that I am called to do this and I do know that 100 percent! Thank you Jesus!
