"as the season of Believing seems to wind down

for the rest of the world,

please let me gently make something very clear.

many dreams still wait in the wings.

many aspirations are just within our grasp

if we keep stretching.

many hungers need nourishment.

many yearnings must be acknowledged,

so that they can be fulfilled.

many authentic sparks must be fanned before

Passion performs her perfect work in you.

throw another log on the fire.

this is not the day you quit.

this is not the day you cry.

this is the day you stare down

every naysayer in your life who doesn't get it yet.

because you do.

finally.

and now you know that faith is the substance of things hoped for,

the evidence of things not seen"...

..."so keep believing

that you have the passion,

intelligence,

brilliance,

creativity,

wisdom,

clarity,

depth,

and savvy to find that

quiet center of solace,

serenity, and strength necessary

to create and sustain an authentic life.

every day is the prayer.

an authentic life is the most personal

form of worship.

when you start believing,

you'll discover that all things

are

really

possible."

i think that we all

have that little voice in our head

telling us we can't do something...

we aren't good enough,

we aren't creative enough...

and on and on.

but

what if you keep saying to yourself...

i believe...

i believe...

i believe!!!

then maybe you will discover

that all things are possible.

welcome to coffee hour.

welcome to this Sunday morning.

just BE.

robin.
