So I'll Let You Know..... How it practically plays out walking forward into a new land

There is a parking lot that I go to often ... I love that parking lot.. I turn my car around and face a building that my church uses on Sundays and I allow the warmth of the sun to fill the car... I turn on my ipod and continually live in astonishment about the reality of how guided the shuffle is by Holy Spirit....

The warmth and heat of the sun.. the worship that takes me to the foot of my Lord... my car, the parking lot, the building..... and yes... to my left a place that has drawn my attentions .... a camp ground.. a camp ground with people who my Father adores... and desires....

I have sat in my car and looked out my window and thought about that camp ground for hours....

Not too long ago during such a time the words of Isaiah would be brought to mind and I would look at the camp ground with new eyes.... The truest of fasts before me.... So I don't come today with testimonies... I come today with fish and loaves... so very little actually.... but truly the two stories that will guide this next season of my walk will be the testimonies of the man healed at the gate Beautiful and the feeding of the 5000... I have so little to nothing to offer... but my God does amazing things with little to nothing.....

Walking forward into a new land..

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.
