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.
So, stop wearing your wishbone where your backbone ought to be.

Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away.
Make the best of everything =)

Gene77,
As a sister in the Lord I want to warn you that some of the things you said above are not in line with the word of God. Though "inspirational" they may be, they uplift the flesh into thinking that it can be of any good when God says that there is no good in us. None is good but the Father. We are not powerful, by any means, we are weak in every way. We, as men, have no light in us unless we have the Spirit but still He is the light and not us. We are to strive to be wise with God's wisdom, not brilliant by the standards of men. Striving to be beautiful to God, not in our appearance. We are supposed to make ourselves nothing so that He will have an empty vessel fit for His use. We are not trying to serve the world but snatch others out of it. There is a confidence in Christ, yes, but not one that uplifts us but one that kills us so that He may live. I pray you think on these things. I know all of those words sound good, but they feed the fleshly nature.
with Christ's Love,
Kate

I find that my biggest fear is death. I dont really give a *Bleep* about fitting in or being powerfull but if i was id probably be really evil. Its just a gut feeling .....

I may be a child of god but i am far from perfect and i have trouble excepting death because i am attached to this life if i was born in heavan first i wouldn't have this issue but since i do I have developed defenses to prevent me from dieing I entertain thoughts of defense and murder to feel that i survived yet another day however this is going all wrong because these thoughts are trying to take over i have an urge to just wipe out all the people i dont like and live in a safer world. however jesus says turn the other cheek because killing just leads to more killing and its a endless cycle. I have no idea why i am telling every1 this but what the *Bleep* its anonymous right. I have 3 personalitys me who is a christian me who is a evil *Bleep* that wants to destroy and me who just doesnt care any more which side he is on. I have given up on friends and the idea of a gf and love never really works out murphys law does exist i am proof.


My thoughts are messed up as u can see and this is all created from that one fear so untill i can accept it i will not be able to be human so if i am not human what am I?
