oh how small my realizations of You... how vast Your knowledge of me... listening to the heart beat of the ages

Awoken as if out of a dream and into a reality that is more astonishing than any dream world could ever present itself to be.... That which He touches.. that which He breaths life upon is illuminated with power and life and joy and hope and peace and strength... Presenting and holding out a love so pure .. so beautiful... so immense... so life changing... breathing His breath upon whatever dry bones are upon the scene and bringing forth resurrected life... His perspective.. His joy.. His delight...

We are that... we are His joy.. we are His delight.. We are the living and breathing expression of His heart beat... a concept that causes me to pause and stand stunned... Not under the weight of such a burden but shouldering it with awe and reverence and desire... That the flow of my life would represent His redemptive love and that the image that bears forth from my life would be His stamp...

Growing into Him is a journey that will propel me into eternity ... becoming more like Him and resting in His love and His strength and His beauty transforms me over and over and over and over and over and over again... no where else upon creation will one ever find satisfaction like that which flows forth from His heart beat.. His beautiful voice bursting forth like a river.. a sweet flow.. a rushing power.. a calm melody.. ripples continuing on and on and on .. the reality of the sound courses through me and divides me and cleanses me.. divides away from me the silt and the residue of the world leaving in its wake glistening waters within full of Him and full of life...

His delight so evident in moments that the spectacle He makes over us is almost embarrassingly delightful... What we think of celebration over another or an event pales beyond comparison at that which He does.... We have a God who so delights in us that it causes wonderment and joy dances fill the atmosphere as in the days of old and in the days of declaration...

When touched it transforms.. when heard it is as thunder rippling through ones person... when held into ones heart it bursts forth life in manifold ways that go beyond description .... Oh how small our thoughts.. how small my thoughts.. how small my realizations of You... How vast Your realizations of me... romance of the ages... You pour forth all that is You to redeem and bring forth restoration.... Into You I journey and may I get lost in a life time of doing so.. deeper and deeper into you .. further and further in

One of my Favorite Narnian Quotes...

“One word, Ma’am,” he said, coming back from the fire; limping because of the pain. “One word. All you’ve been saying is quite right, I shouldn’t wonder. I’m a chap who always liked to know the worst and then put the best face I can on it. So I won’t deny any of what you said, even so. Suppose we have only dreamed, or made up, all those things – trees and grass and sun and moon and stars and Aslan himself. Suppose we have. Then all I can say is that, in that case, the made-up things seem a good deal more important than the real ones. Suppose this black pit of a kingdom of yours is the only world. Well, it strikes me as a pretty poor one. And that’s a funny thing, when you come to think of it. We’re just babies making up a game, if you’re right. But four babies playing a game can make a play-world that makes you real world hollow. That’s why I’m going to stand by the play-world. I’m on Aslan’s side even if there isn’t any Narnia. So, thanking you kindly for our supper, if these two gentlemen and the young lady are ready, we’re leaving your court at once and setting out in the dark to spend our lives looking for the Overland.

A Brilliant Quote from Marianne Williamson

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate,

but 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 enlightening about shrinking

so that others won't feel unsure around you.

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 every one.

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.
