I rediscovered a great quote by Hudson Taylor (one of the first missionaries to China) yesterday...

"It doesn't matter how great the PRESSURE is. What really matters is where the PRESSURE lies - whether it comes between you and God or whether it presses you nearer His heart." 

Isn't that just sweet to your soul?  Man, I needed that! 

I swiped this quote from another blog.  Such great perspective.  Tell me what ya think:

"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 you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small doesn't serve the world. There's nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. 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."
