The First of Ten Things

THE FIRST OF TEN THINGS...............

So I often get asked about connecting to the Father.... How does one not just hear and see but the questions go beyond that ... they are lifestyle questions .... so here a very simple .. try this sort of thing....

Because here lies my absolute top pet peeve...... THERE ARE NO SPECIAL ONES... NO ENTITLED ONES.... THE CROSS OPENED THE WAY FOR ALL ... LET ME SAY THAT AGAIN .... ALL... TO WALK WITH GOD ... IT IS NOT FOR THE ELITE FEW .... I get so sad when people start listing names and say well.... they hear, see... etc... etc... NO IT IS FOR ALL ... EVERYONE.....

FIRST

Admit need.... I need Him.. unabashedly need Him and I admit that need .... I look for Him the first thing I do every morning... I set my mind on Him.. for me I don't want to live my day without Him... I don't compartmentalize my faith and set it aside for a hour or two here or there... HE is the air I breath.... moment by moment I expect to walk with Him... This is a habit that I have cultivated.... READ Brother Lawrence's Practicing the Presence of God... or something I learned from John Paul was "THINK GOD" He put a little sticky note on his watch and when he went to check the time he would see "THINK GOD"

WHAT ARE SOME THINGS YOU DO TO WALK WITH THE FATHER? HOW ELSE CAN WE ADMIT NEED?

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.
