Walking the Passage

Tuesday, January 18, 2011

There is much upon my heart this evening and as I have tried to get it out I have faltered.. At the end of this day there is a fatigue within my bones that causes me to think of putting writing this until another time ...

Than a voice so beautiful and familiar speaks..... and a desire upon His heart for me to write this from a place of weakness is spoken forth... While helping me to grasp that idea there is not an accompanying presence bringing strength nor more of a capacity to do that which I feel pressing to be done...

... A friend once said fatigue makes cowards of us all and as I try to get through the writing of this I have faltered and erased and tried to write only to falter and erase again...

It isn't about in our weakness He is strong... While that being true it is about our weakness.... Our humanity ......
No matter who it is or what anyone does beyond title or profession there is a person .... The common factor ... The common denominator is our humanity and in that there is an aspect to life and living where we can acknowledge those things that we all hold within our hearts....

Hopes and dreams ..... Silent prayers for happinesses of all sorts.. There is upon humanity the same hungers and same thirsts..... Regardless of station or position ... Race or nationality.... There are aspects to life and living we all share...

May we be empowered to truly see each other and recognize those things that make us more like one another .... We are more alike than we are different.....

May we offer up love and affection.... Kindness and generosity.... We are all so much more connected in reality than what we have lived out in meager understanding....

We want the works of God to break out upon the terrains of our lives and our churches may we more fully embrace Isaiah 58.... And spend ourselves on behalf of others so that the light breaks forth like the dawn...

We can't remain comfortable while those sitting in the pews next to us silently suffer or those in the streets starve off the scraps we are willing to give.... When one is weak we are all weak.... When one us strong we all get to share in that strength .....

We are all more connected ... There is one body.... One Bride.... One...

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.
