I’m waiting for the neon sign to tell me what to do
A giant one hung from God above my house so blue
This way, that way, or just stay still
I long to be useful, but still in His Will
What’s the plan? What’s my purpose?
As midlife is here
I’m up for adventure
Just tickle my ear

You already know where this post is going. I probably don’t even have to write it. Ok. Blessings, Lisa
Haha…no, I’m going to write it anyway! 🙂
My heart is always dreaming, day dreaming, night dreaming, walking around dreaming. New ideas, new adventures, new horizons.
But my troublesome practical mind puts brakes on many of these things before they can take off and leave the ground. ‘It’s too expensive….we need to save for retirement….you need to be a responsible adult….” You get the idea.
Depending on how your mind and heart is wired, you may agree with one side or the other. “It’s a good thing she has that practical mind; no telling what she’d do.” Or, “She needs to follow her dreams and take more chances.”
But what if you are a practical dreamer?
God gives hopes and dreams. God gives us sound minds. God gives us all things. I just pray that I can hear what He is saying and where He is leading.
Blessings, (again)

I have no idea what it would be like to be a sheep. To live in a field 24/7. To eat grass all day. To be rained and blown upon by the wind. To walk around on very small legs with a very fluffy body.
As I looked upon them, I felt I could think what they were thinking. But I know I cannot. It is outside of my understanding.
So much of life, of God, of eternity, is past my understanding. For now, I am the outside observer, doing my best to understand, but really, it is past me. But one day, I will understand. For “…we will be like Him, for we shall see Him as He is.” (1John 3:2b)
I will be on the inside track. With Jesus and those who have gone before. Amazing thought. Knowing me, I will go up to a sheep and say, “Hey, tell me all about how it is to be you.” 😉 And hopefully, I can find a lovely bird somewhere who will let me fly along with him and see how that feels as well.
And so goes my thoughts on a Saturday morning….
Have a blessed weekend! Love, Lisa
The yearning is strong in that one, they said
She always is wishing and striving for what? they shook their head
She thinks too much, she’s too strung up
She just needs to be happy and content and shut up
But she is happy in her way, and she loves to think
She feels like the wind, just whipping along
To whatever new beauty the world has in store
She ponders, then lights, then moves on
The only way to create is feel the push and discontent growing within
Then let it out and enjoy the rush
Of the newness, the freshness, the hope and joy
The yearning soul who longs to see
A bit of heaven on earth, a bit of God that we
All have in our souls to create and to yearn
For something better, something Him, something beautiful.
