Having Done All One Stands... But One Never Stands Alone

He stood there holding out His hand .. Ah we have been here before.. I just shake my head because we've been here before but He doesn't ... He just holds out His hand and waits.. I slip my hand into His and just stand there waiting for Him to walk but He just stands there too and eventually I look up more to say aren't we going somewhere and He just looks at me and smiles ... That place with Him .. Holding His hand .. Seeing Him standing there... Feeling His strength... His comfort... All else truly does just melt away.. In His words a day ... A thousand years.. What is time in these moments... Just standing there ever so quietly holding onto that precious hand.. Leaning into You ... Drinking of Your presence ... Then their song begins to filter into the air increasing in volume and strength as they come and surround .. Singing ... The most beautiful notes... The most amazing melodies... The reality of these moments more real to the most inner parts of me then anything I know to be true upon the earth.. This time we did not move not one step... The worshippers they came and they went and still we stood.. Well standing... Leaning.. Probably all the same... A sweet breeze floated in and the air lit up with the sweetest of fragrances and He brushed the hair away from my eyes... Still we stood... A palpable strength filled the atmosphere and His posture changed into a more regal of a stance but me ... Me I just continued to lean... As each moment had me solely as observer ... The three in one aspect of Him swirling and swirling all around... Fragrance... Song... Strength... Beauty... Peace... Comfort... Liberty... And still we stood but oh so different... So separate from this world .. Yet so in it ... So completely other from it.. So much higher.. So much stronger.. So much richer... With different eyes seeing that which surrounded me as the here and now became more ... Shifting perspective .. Quieted heart... Remembrance of His hand and mine held together.. The sweetest of whisperings.. The delightful fragrance... Standing ... Leaning ... Perspective Sweetness ... Courage... Strength ... Liberty... Standing.. Posturing before His grace.. Kneeling.. Bowing will and need and desire to His grace.. My All in All... He... Him.. Delight of all ages... Beauty from age to age ... The Same... Alpha... Omega... My Lord and My God...

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.
