"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!

Hello Kerstin, So good to know you through your profile on the blogger. I am also glad to stop your blog "Let your Light Shine Where ever you Are" and the post on it of 10th January "Praise in Xhosa". Though I have not watched this you tube but yet I can imagine how sweet will it be. I am blessed to know you and since you are travelling around we would love to have you come to Mumbai, India to be a missionary on a long term or short term and work with us in the slums of MUMAI among the poorest of poor to share the good news of Jesus Christ and give them new hope, future and life. We encourage young people like you as well as adults from the West to come to Mumbai on a short / long term missions trip to work with us in the slums of MUMBAI. We would love to have you come to Mumbai with your friends to work with us in the slums of Mumbai In near future. My email id is: dhwankhede(at)gmail(dot)com and my name is Diwakar Wankhede. Looking forward to hear from you very soon.
