Our Deepest Fear

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 and fabulous?
Actually who are we not to be?
You are a child of God.
Your playing small doesn't 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 when 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.

SIX!!!!!!!

Ok, so I just got back from the Christmas dance, which was held with Canyon View, the other Jr. High in the county. I brought my total of dances with a guy up to a six. My previous is two. Three of the guys tonight were from C.V. and I didn't know 2 of them. I hung out with one of them for a lot of the night, but never asked his name, and even though we danced, I didn't ask. The other two just came up to me and asked me. I know one, and the other was just off the wall. The fourth was Caleb, my friend. We did a very easy dance. No idea what it is called, but my aunt taught it to him. Crazy. I am not against dancing with a guy, I just never really felt that comfortable with it. But hey, got to get used to it sometime. So I figured, "Why not tonight?" But my friend was very proud of me. Like I said, This brings my total up to six, which is a huge number for me.
Most of the time, when a slow song comes on, I just dance by myself around the other couples, perhaps singing the song at the same time. But, when a guy named Tyler said I looked lonely and then asked if I would like to dance, I did! The others were just random.

The Price of Rubies


Today, in Sunday school, our lesson was on virtue, i.e; moral purity. In Proverbs 31:10 it says, "Who can find a virtuous woman? For her price is above rubies." Our teacher asked what that means, her price, and her son replied, "That you would have to buy her," or something like that. And I, being me, stated that if you have to buy her, she wouldn't be very virtuous. The whole class burst out laughing.
