Via Molly Fisk's Facebook, I have found an interesting website, Inward/Outward. This post is a list of ways we sabotage our lives, our callings, with distractions and excuses. These lists abound. There are whole books on getting over yourself and getting to what you want. This one is special. Here's the introduction:
"It makes perfect sense that we should be called to go beyond our limits,
because the One that calls us is beyond all limits. I suspect that all
the energy we have bound up in resisting our own potential is more
energy than we'll need to reach it. It takes as much energy to fail as
it does to succeed. The strategies are legion."
I am always looking for names for God, and I like this one: the One who calls us to go beyond our limits, because the One is beyond all limits.
Inward/Outward describe themselves like this:
"inward/outward grows out of The Church of the Saviour
in Washington, D.C., where at the heart of being church is learning how
to be on an authentic journey with others---inward toward our true
selves rooted in Love---outward toward some part of the world's deepest
joy and greatest pain."
Here are several (and very old) names for God: Love, Journey, Learning.The more you look, the more amazing communities there are -- out there -- and in me -- where people are searching for something they call God.
