Walking the Passage: If You Pray For Me....

If You Pray For Me....

If you pray for me I would ask that you pray for courage...

Courage to speak the truth in love even when it means losing

Courage to say no to myself and opportunities though they might be good they aren't life

Courage to walk the walk I'm called to without looking to the left or right .. Without venturing into comparison

Courage to be myself even when it means I won't be liked by who I want to be liked by

Courage to admit wrong ... Courage to admit weakness ... Courage that says that I'm afraid but I venture out anyway

I need more courage these days then I currently possess and it weighs upon me

I'm afraid and I don't want to act in fear or give it license but the further I go in the more I see my lack and the more fear knocks at my door

I need courage to look into those eyes of fear and say I have taken courage and my Lord is with me....

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.
