Walking the Passage: Lord and Father... How do I contain that truth and how do I walk solemnly in awe while all the while dancing and skipping in delight?

Lord and Father... How do I contain that truth and how do I walk solemnly in awe while all the while dancing and skipping in delight?

Brought to a place tonight where your goodness is so thick...

Your beauty so upon me that I can't even keep my eyes open...

I can barely breath...

I can barely stand...

The reality of You so strikingly phenomenal...

How do I breath this in?

How do I behold Your glory?

How do I stand in the midst of being in Your presence?

How do I surrender fully enough to You that You own all that I am and all that I am is Yours?

How do I worship You enough to acknowledge gratitude so deep for that which You are is so powerfully amazing?

I stepped so casually into this wooing into this ...I see you ... you see me... I walked so casually into these moments ... some are received as a child receiving her Father... but tonight.. tonight I see You as Lord and I am melting...

melting away....

I see You ... I see You High and Lifted up and I melt before that which I see.... and I shutter as in this place You place Your hand upon my shoulder and call me daughter... Liquid heat penetrates all that I am and as it rushes through all that makes up my person I feel it upon my heart and my mind.. upon my being and I have no capacity to utter a word back to You...

No capacity to hear Your voice saying back to me that You see me...

eyes glued...

heart transfixed...

You captivate and hold all that I am .. You hold all that I am within Your hands ... Within Your hands and within Your heart I walk... I exist.... I place my being...

I see You as Father every day... every day You are Father... every day You are Lord... and yet every day .. every day You call me Your own... Your own daughter... Your love... Yours.... How do I contain that truth and how do I walk solemnly in awe while all the while dancing and skipping in delight? How do I contain within my frame both emotions at the same time?

I acknowledge You as Father and I see Your smile upon my being... I acknowledge You as Lord and I see You in all of Your authority... in all of Your splendor and while I stand as daughter I do so oh so reverently ... Father... Lord....

I bow down before You and I stand before You.... Eyes transfixed upon Your beauty and Your glory.... Washed in both Your Love and Your authority... and utterly changed....

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.
