Our Deepest Fear...

Mark and I watched "Akeelah & the Bee" last night. We both were a little under the weather so it was nice just to sit down relax and watch a movie. Even though he was sick he still rubbed my feet for practically the whole movie. Yah, he's amazing! And for that reason and more he makes being pregnant a pleasant experience. Any how the movie was cute and had a good moral to it. One of our favorite quotes on the movie was by Marianne Williamson:

“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.”
