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.
a return to love - Marianne Williamson
This is my favorite excerpt! I believe that we all have it in us to become wonderful miraculous creations of God. After all we are made in His image and He spoke all things into existence. We do have some of God in us and His power, the ability to be extraordinary servants. Not only do I believe that we are afraid of this brilliance, we also believe we are not worthy. Being God’s child makes us worthy of success for Him. It makes us worthy of being that powerful talented servant.
I have been writing since childhood and have only recently discovered that this talent is not mine, it is the talent that God has given me for His glory. I only hope that I am able to prosper as God has planned for me.
As of now I am a 31 year old mother of two. Emily who is 10 and Chloe who is 4. Motherhood has been one of the greatest adventures of my life. I would have never believed I could love someone so much that it hurts, so much that it brings tears to my eyes. I had Emily when I was only 20 and she will never realize the lessons she has taught me. Lessons about love, patience, fear, heartache, growing up and joy so much joy. Chloe was a planned decision after my husband and I lost a child. Chloe has taught me about healing and faith. The other great adventure is being a wife. I have been married for 11 years this September. And I have to admit we have evolved with each other; making each other better people, celebrating each other’s accomplishments, uplifting each other after a failure. Recently I have realized that I not only love him, I’m not only in love with him, but I love him unconditionally. He is a man of great honesty, humbleness, faithfulness. I can’t believe how blessed I am. When I slowdown in life and take a moment to reflect on God’s gifts to me, I sincerely feel God’s love. He must indeed love me.
