Walking the Passage: He doesn't come.... He is always present... Awakening ever more into that reality

He doesn't come.... He is always present... Awakening ever more into that reality

I let go of past
I let go of preference
I let go of favorite songs that have been sung
I let go of comfort
I let go of familiar
I let go of words like me and mine

The propensity for preference of culture to stand as an idol and a hindrance in my life is huge..... learning to be blinded to all else but Christ

I have partaken in many beautiful expressions of different aspects to God and His Kingdom and been shaped and honed by them.... But the flow of all things comes all the more naturally when eyes are fixed and heart is set upon the One

Learning to separate cultural beliefs of how God moves and watching Him daily to see how He is moving...

The capacity for God to be known by all is enormous ... He has made Himself known and continues to do so within every moment....

As I lay down all that I thought I knew I am met and as I lay down known ways He has met me and ventured into what is uncharted territory for me I have stepped into a place (that all can step into) where His presence.... His peace.... His ways.... Him.... Who He is are manifested ....

Quiet or loud.... Public or private.... He doesn't come ... He is always present .... So it is an awakening into that place... That acknowledgement.... It is an opening up of heart, mind and eyes to the fact that He is always upon me and you and all....

An invitation to awareness of His nature and Him as Father and the reality of His presence is bursting forth from His heart to all ..... To all.... To know Him and be known by Him

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.
