Shine Your Light

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.

So Thankful

I’m so beyond thankful for Kids Caring 4 Kids.  For me, Kids Caring 4 Kids is such a blessing.  When I started it I was undergoing the worst struggle of my life.  It provided the positive focus and sense of purpose I needed to get through my transplants that summer.  It has allowed me to define myself not by my medical condition, but by the work I am doing. 

I know that Kids Caring 4 Kids would not be what it is today without the divine inspiration and aid of God.  The experiences that I’ve had in my life are so far beyond any expectation or goal I could have for myself.  I know He is behind the work that I’m doing.  

My salvation lies in HIS LOVE.
