Parking Lot

I've made countless trip to my alma mater, Highland High School, this week to pick up Rebekah. I noticed that majority of the cars in the student parking lot are nicer than mine (Big Red). Something isn't right.

Karissa Berndt said...: I happen to like Big Red :) ! I've had similar thoughts when I see super nice cars in high school parking lots... but then I just tell myself that the drivers of those cars are overly spoiled by their parents, and probably won't be better off because of it!

"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, 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 are all meant to shine, as children do. We are 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."
