Walking the Passage: I must live the other .... Whatever that may mean

I must live the other .... Whatever that may mean

What does it mean to lose my life to find it.... I don't mean theoretically ... What does it mean...

Lose to gain

What do I lose? What do I gain?

What does it mean to be last?

What do I do last in line?

What does it mean to die so that I may live?

What does it mean to be strong in weakness? Rich in poverty? What does it mean?

I read that we are to be in this place that we call the world but not of it... For we are of another place all together... I want to live that other ....

I am a citizen of a different land ... I am her ambassador

This place's ways need to be more foreign to me....

I am so hungry to live ... Truly live... I am so hungry to taste and see the goodness of my God in the land of the living ....

I am so hungry to know His ways and His thoughts.... I am so hungry to not judge as the world does by to comprehend all that my Father sees and does

This journey is taking me deeper... Making me hungrier ..... Stirring my passions... Igniting my determination

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.
