(I'm such a shameless Jesus Freak... and totally unapologetic about it...) <BR/><BR/>Anyway, CLEARLY God was nudging you while you were sitting at Saddleback listening to Kay talking. If you have one of those moments where you are positive the spotlight is going to come on at ANY MOMENT and shine directly on you.... yes, then God is working through the speaker and talking to you. And, that, my darling is most COOL!<BR/><BR/>He's doing some big stuff in your life these days, Sugar - really really really really really (have I said really yet?) cool. <BR/><BR/>High five to you from the East Coast! :-)<BR/><BR/>T.HWHLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07294913024458099382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1646757887620573282.post-67025664989313117392008-08-28T14:16:00.000-07:002008-08-28T14:16:00.000-07:00TheBloggess - Your blog won't let me comment right...TheBloggess - Your blog won't let me comment right now but I wanted to tell you that you are *more* than good enough.Sugar Joneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14350485179045324078noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1646757887620573282.post-48151658460028240682008-08-28T14:14:00.000-07:002008-08-28T14:14:00.000-07:00Oh, I know you won't believe me... but THE Blogges...Oh, I know you won't believe me... but THE Bloggess just tried to comment here.

I had a little bit of chaos in the way, as well... but now I'm ready. I'm at my desk making all the calls. I've got my roaring lion and all of my friends and I'm stepping up!<BR/><BR/>Rowena: I've read that before... many many many times. Each time, I smack myself and remember the last time it hit me and wonder why I let things slip from the last time to this time... does that make sense? I want so much to hold on to that thought. Maybe I should tattoo it on to my arm.

Facing fear is never easy but once you get to the other side you come out so much better. Not feeling good enough is an aweful feeling...it makes me sad that you feel this way but one I relate to and I am sure many others do too.<BR/><BR/>I needed to read this tonight. I could also stand to learn this guided imagary you talked of to help me face my own adversarys. <BR/><BR/>You are good enough...more than good enough.Lorihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04441204804740501624noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1646757887620573282.post-23522489723763381382008-08-26T19:25:00.000-07:002008-08-26T19:25:00.000-07:00Haha.

The next post I read on my googlereader was http://www.creativeeveryday.com/creativeeveryday/2008/08/who-do-you-thin.html and she posted a quote from Marianne Williamson that I think fits QUITE nicely.<BR/><BR/> “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.”Rowenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07146077261663557342noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1646757887620573282.post-25079733879865007972008-08-26T19:11:00.000-07:002008-08-26T19:11:00.000-07:00I am fresh out of stories, but I have to say... wh...I am fresh out of stories, but I have to say... what's the worst that could happen, even if they did say, sorry, Shoog, you're just not good enough?<BR/><BR/>Which I doubt, seriously anyone would, by the way.Rowenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07146077261663557342noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1646757887620573282.post-1451235370689717852008-08-26T16:13:00.000-07:002008-08-26T16:13:00.000-07:00Whenever I doubt myself or worry that the path I a...Whenever I doubt myself or worry that the path I am choosing is not working as fast as I want, or it even just seems all wrong, I remember a thought I heard about a dancer...<BR/><BR/>Do you think the most stunning, celebrated, and adept dancer in the entire world could become so by only ever dancing to the most brilliant, illuminating, and clever music in the world?<BR/><BR/>Or would they freak, hip-hop, and tango to every riff, beat, and la-bamba within earshot?<BR/><BR/><BR/>I think we know the answer!

However, if I had never stepped up to explore that relationship, had I listened to so many people who told me I was insane to leave my world for so much unknown, had I not found the inner strength I never knew lie within me, I would have experienced nothing, just continued to function in my known safe world. The best thing I ever did was leap off that cliff, and though there has been pain and tears, never regret. And the rewards too great to go into.

One day I will, though. <BR/>Aneway,sounds like God is on YOUR CASE!<BR/>And ask yourself the question, what would happen if you didn't step up? Nothing, right...

My boss went around the room to every one of her managers and commented on why they would be good in the position and why she needed them to stay put. Every single person around the conference room except me. And I wanted the job. Bad. I thought the same thing "maybe I'm not good enough. Maybe there is something she sees in me that I don't see in myself."<BR/><BR/>I decided that I needed to know. I had to find out why she didn't want me for the job. I had to move quick before I lost my courage. When I confronted her, her exact words were "You want the job? I didn't ask you because I figured you would hate it." Long story short, I got the job and it opened up hundreds of new opportunities for me. Take the leap, good things can happen!MonkeyGirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17052353317087292134noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1646757887620573282.post-23240657266766940902008-08-25T16:50:00.000-07:002008-08-25T16:50:00.000-07:00Yes!
