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!

new post

I know, this title is not very creative. May this have to do with the hour of me writing it? It is 3pm and my mind is a bit fried after meetings and work. I am about to go into my 5th genesis session with a woman and I am so eager to see what the Holy Spirit is doing next.
I have been pondering about what I can blog on and there is a series I want to start next week: Memorable Moments. I will pick moments that I experienced here in my life...right now I think it will be from the last  few years here in South Africa. "Should be fun!"
Do you want to join me and write about your memorable moments? Think about it.
Last night, I watched the Chronicles of Narnia (The lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe) again after a ling time. Oh how I love this movie. I never read teh books by C.S. Lewis though. I just loooove Aslan. They picked out such a beautiful tender male voice for him. As I watched, I actually made mental notes of teh scenes and a teaching that could go with it.
-like the enticement of Edmund by the evil white witch
-or when beaver tells the kids about the prophecy
oh there are so many great scenes it...such golden nuggets.

My favorite scene is when Aslan raises from death and he surprises Lucy and Susan, so so awesome. What is your favorite scene?

Multiplication

Multiplication is happening. I have had this on my heart for 3 years and it is so cool to see the beginning of it. Yesterday evening, my friend that I took through Genesis last year, started  her own Genesis group. I met with her last week to prepare her for the facilitation. She is ready and so eager.

Multiplication is happening.
