With all this talk about my birthday/age, one would think I am obsessing. Not really, just making conversation. Tomorrow I call about the CertiTech position. I outlined what I’d liek to see from them. Vacation in the first year and $8680 of computer hardware/software. Along with other stuff. Chances are good I won’t get things after I hire in, so, I ask up front. We’ll see how it goes. I’m planning to go in self-confident. Sell myself for the position. As I’ve thought about things, perhaps I’m not choosing out of default afterall, perhaps, just maybe, God is directing these events to lead me where He wants me to go. From that end, I’m excited. And iot about being decisive as well. One would think this would be easy. We watched “Akeelah and the Bee” this evening. Here’s one of the big quotes:
“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 is not just in some of us; it is 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
I need to let my light shine. Yes, I am afraid of myself. Once again, success is harder to deal with than failure. I need to rise above that and “make manifest the glory of God that is within me.”
Thank you God for creating me into someone who thinks. Too much maybe? Thanks.
