Who me?

Here is a quote I would love for you to ready and then think about for a few minutes... I recently read this and was amazed at how this impacted me.

“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is 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 enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own 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.”
~ Marianne Williamson

Ok, so I don't know about you, but this did something pretty amazing to me. I felt as if it was giving me permission to become all that God wants me to become. To take a few risks, to be willing to jump when God says jump and not even think about how it will impact me or others. Wow! don't you just LOVE how this makes you feel?

Let me know your thoughts... Did it have the same kind of effect on you as it did me?

Long Overdue Update

I will not try to offer excuses. I will however tell you I have been unbelievably busy and I wish I had posted before now. For that I apologize.

I cannot believe all that has happened in the past two months. To hit a few highlights, I am still not smoking! I pray I never will again! I no longer need any dental work done! I still have one more visit to the dentist chair on January 16th to finalize everything however no more drills or needles! Praise God what an ordeal! God is so awesome to allow me this opportunity! I am still so amazed at all the ways He has and continues to show His love and provision for me! I am humbled and try to understand why He has chosen me...

I have enjoyed the first "vacation" in years. during my few days away. I had the oppertunity to be a small part in preparing a couple for a missions trip to St. Lucia. I was able to help them prepare materials for the conference and coordinate the presentation pieces and prepare a blessing for the women they would be ministering to. Then was able to spend a couple of days enjoying some time on the beach! God arranged for me to have free use of a beachside condo for a couple of days where I was able to spend some time praying, and writing, and making some decisions regarding my future ministry direction. These were decisions made as I believe God is leading. I still am not sure of details however, I started working on materials for a teen girls program. a few days later received a call from an area director for the Boys and Girls Clubs of Osceola County who would like to meet with me to discuss working with the teens at the local center. If this happens it would be a pilot project for this county that would possibly be taken state wide or even nationally. Please keep this in your prayers. I also need prayer to finish my website. I know what look and feel I am wanting however need help in making that a reality.

lots more going on however, once again running out of time. Please keep me in your prayers. I still have some pretty big decisions to make and so desperately want to be in the center of God's will for my life and this ministry He has called me to.

Blessings to all of you!
