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"

BLESSED!

Today was a miracle. Let me explain what I mean by that. After a wonderful church service and a challenge on trusting our Lord more, I set out for lunch somewhere. There could only be one place for me today. After a stressful time and the need of more relax time for me, I decided to go to a special place. It is a very nice cafĂ©/restaurant with a little pond, some ducks and geese. I got myself a nice GREEK salad and enjoyed watching all the people there, the children, the families. Then, I spotted them: 2 wonderful HAMMOCKS. I made a plan. After my meal I would get into one of those and just look at the blue sky. So that is what I did. Shortly after I lied down, a young boy struck up a conversation with me. He was quite a chatter box. His name was Keeyan with a K like a KEEN KING as he explained to me. “WOW, I said,” my name starts with a K as well…” We made friends and talked about funny animated movies such as Madagascar and Kungfu Panda and Toy Story. The Keeyan said: “It is very nice meeting you!” By then three other lill kids seemed to be drawn to me and we all chatted. I felt so awesomely blessed; it is hard to put it into words. Here I was, just having had a lunch on my own…I could have felt so lonely…but God had a different plan and I am glad I caught that one. HE blessed me with the presence of 5 really sweet kids: Keeyan (8years old), a girl (9 years old), a girl (4 years old), her little sister (3 years old) and a cute little blond boy (3 years old). I drank in the scene that displayed itself in front of my eyes and I know that you my God have drawn those kids to me. Before I left, Keeyan said: “SO, is this good-bye?” I told him so but then hugged him good-bye and then he put a shy little boy’s kiss on my cheek saying: This is MY good-bye to you.” Thank you, dear PAPPA in heaven for blessing me with your sweet presence today…it was so tangible. Words cannot describe, even pictures fall short of even coming close to that one. Thank you form the bottom of my heart!!!! Your Sunshine K
