Walking the Passage: And so how can I not share..............Lean into Him and lean into Him and lean into Him until you can't lean even one bit more

And so how can I not share..............Lean into Him and lean into Him and lean into Him until you can't lean even one bit more

The songs lyrics play through my head... "I'm falling on my knees... offering all of me..." or where the lyrics state.. "Jesus Your all this heart is hungry for..."

I have known hunger... my heart has known what it is to be hungry... my eyes have known what it is to be empty sockets with pupils staring out of them but to exist in some far off daze... I have known what it is to not belong and I have watched as an outcast.. lonely and afraid ...

Why do I share so openly and completely about interacting with the Lord...because His love and His testimony of greatness compels me towards expression.... It is so stunningly amazing that He ... the desire of all nations.. desires us ... It is so magnificent to me that He will open up His heart and His nature to be known.. thoroughly and truly known.... He wants to be known.. He wants a people who know Him .. who see Him.. who hear Him.. He wants a people.. He wants you.. He wants me... He wants us... He desires us...

There are so many avenues of deep relationship that are ours and yet I have settled for religion at times instead of the very heart beat of our God... and I can't ever again... I can't live anything less that a heart hungry .. steadfast one who has been loved... eyes focused... heart tuned into only one lover....

I don't want other loves... they leave me empty and lacking.. but not Him.. never Him.... and while I lack language to always describe or even to understand that which takes place I am beyond grateful that those times take place...

What an incredible honor... I was dead.. I was alone.. I was living in darkness so deep and yet He made me alive .. He called me His own.. He shined His light upon my being.... I was oh so very many things and I wasn't so many things and now... Now I am His... and so how can I not share.....

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.
