As I look at His smile I get lost in His gaze

We use so many aspects of life to measure worth and value.... these days have had me lost in the smile of the One who loves me and knows me oh so very well..... In His gaze I have been made complete... and in His smile I have found an acceptance of who I am regardless of anything else.... who I am... who He knit me together to be... who He knit me together to love and be loved..... As I look at His smile I get lost in His gaze and lean and lean and lean all the more into Him....

He has walked me to places and through places and into places and away from places... and He has taught me to lean not upon my own understanding but in all my ways to acknowledge Him and He directs my path......

In this season He has drawn me into seeing through His eyes all the more... seeing as He sees and being made aware of His heart and all I can say is I am more and more and more in love with Him..... The more aware I become of His love towards me and the more I receive and dwelll within that love the more solid I feel inside... Not based upon exterior standards... or the standards of the world or even myself.... but solidly and solely based upon Him and that which He says.... solidly based upon the fact that He has declared that He has loved with an everlasting love and drawn me unto Himself in lovingkindness.....

The truth of who Christ is... of who God is is truly revolutionary... amazing.... altering.... allowing it to impact me further and further into the depths of all that I am is bringing forth a reality in my life that I never fully anticipated... the more I let go.. the more He grabs ahold of me... and the more life I experience....

I loving seeing as He sees and knowing as He knows.... being taught of Him for He is so truly gentle and He shepherds my heart in the most amazing of ways.... His delight is in me and it causes great delight to flow in me and through me .. His delight is teaching me things I never even anticipated being taught and I know He is so fundamentally affecting the way I think upon oh so very many things....

His affections are making all the difference... they are drawing me into that which He is truly passionate about ..... a heart for people.... a hunger for people to know Him.... to know how fully they are known and loved by Him.... To believe that which He has said is truth and live in a vibrant expectation of His capacity to walk into the landscapes of life and change everything for the glory of the Father.......

His kindness has changed the way I perceive life.. His beauty has changed the way I see life.... His strength has changed the way I live life....

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.
