Acceptance of Strength

Did you send this to me? Did I send it to you? Either way, I came across it today as I surfed through old email looking for the one with the funny road signs, (you only find Narnia when you're not looking, you know, haha.) Now that I read you the last blog of today, and you shared that you, too, feel a pull toward work with a different kind of meaning...that you were questioned today by your ride-along about all sorts of things about Jesus Christ and how the answering made you feel...well I wonder if my coming across this old email is pertinent...to encourage you to keep reaching up...don't stay a brick in the wall, at least not the wall you're in now. (smile)

saw this....thought it might cause you to pause...

Our deepest fear 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 that is within us. It is not just in some of us; it is in everyone. And as we let our own 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.
Not sure where it came from...


Though you are far away tonight, I feel nonetheless warm with your presence, my husband!
