Walking the Passage: I saw snakes and they taught me how to war and brought me confidence

I saw snakes and they taught me how to war and brought me confidence

I have seen snakes today here and there... Not real ones mind you or I would not be so calm... :)

But real or in the spirit they can speak forth harm...

So yesterday it was a baby lamb amd gentleness and kindness followed me throughout my day...

Today snakes... Hhhhmmmm that baby lamb was so much nicer..

But while they can carry harm I don't have to receive it... The lies they bring ... The distortions of truth... I know more than enough to fall into the arms of the One who is so able to keep me and guard me...

The out and out lies aren't the hardest obviously to discern... I'm really beginning to get how into us our Creator is and so I do not fear... For He is loving me perfectly....

The slight distortions of truth... The push upon my soul where my heart still wonders or has questions... The whispers that try and take my confidence and my breathe away... Those are the ones I'm still learning how to fight

But I am most certainly His... His daughter and He has taught me how to war... How to believe... How to know...

His goodness and His mercy shall follow me every day... Every moment of every day... Every second of every moment of every day... I can expect that for it is what He has said...

So when it seems as though the day or the world starts to crumble under my feet I will remember that my face is already turned to Him and He always... Always carries upon Himself truth and wisdom and beauty and understanding...

So I will lean back and though I see snakes where I walk today I pray to my Father to expose the lies I would believe or receive and to bring to me His most glorious truth

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.
