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!

underSOMETHING

I know that my Reeemer lives and I know I have to start this post with this assurance. I also know that the enemy does not sleep, he is otu to kill , steal and distroy. The third thing that I know is that the enemy waits for a HIGH to end, for the adrenalin to stop, so he can start choking the truth out of the vulnerable people. Why do I write this? Because i see my church family and myself in this process right now. We come from 2 conferences at our new Church buidling and our official opening and dedication of the church building. It has been a very itnense time of giving hours and work to let God be glorified. This week has been a hard one for all of us. I can see the enemy just prawling and waiting for attack. It is like inthis picture. he waits udner water and wants to attack, shooting arrows and torpedos at us, at me. I am glad for God's protection. He is my tower and my shield. He will help me to sleep better and HE will help my soul to calm down. Just know that whenever you have experienced a mountain top, the valley is not far, prepare yourself, put on the armor of God and praise HIM who will lead you through! That is what I am doing....trying to do at least while I am recovering.
