“Never lose sight of the desires God has placed within you.”  ~Anonymous

“I don’t want to see you hesitate, when you’ve been called to explore

And I don’t want to see you weary, when you’ve been made to soar…

In case you didn’t know, you have permission to dream.” ~Enation, Permission to Dream

“I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which
God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.”
Philippians 3:14 (NIV)

It’s easy to get down, be uninspired, to be bogged down in the details.  But God has created you in His image…a creative, inspired, alive, and dreaming person who is one of a kind.  Rejoice!  Lisa

 

Dreams and Snowflakes

We are having snow this morning….thick, wet, huge snowflakes that are melting as soon as they hit the warmer pavement.  Which is great with me, as I am a pretty uncourageous snow driver.  The snow is fading away quickly, like a good dream that disappears into thin air as you awaken.

But some things, the really good things, never fade away.  The love of a special person, the faithfulness of God to us,  the promises that God has made in His word that always come to pass, the hope of eternity spent in peace and joy and beauty with Jesus.  These things will never pass away, never melt, never fade.  I am thankful for these things this morning.  Slainte, Lisa

 

The Tale of Two Trees

Once upon a time, there were two trees.  One was straight and tall, no impediments in his way up towards the sky.  His neighbor was different, with many twisty-turny limbs, curves, unexpected bends.  The twisty tree looked longingly at his neighbor, wishing his path could be so predictable, even, steady.  Yet the other tree wished for more excitement, more challenges as his bendable neighbor had.  Over time, they learned from each other, they grew together, they both served their purpose….to bring beauty and joy and fresh clean air to all who passed by.

No matter which tree represents your life today, you have a great purpose.  God will use you if you are open and listening to Him.  Slainte, Lisa

Playing Your Heart Out, Even If No-One’s Listening

As a musician, it’s sometimes hard to perform your best when no one seems to be enjoying it.  But yet, some of my best times playing music are when it’s just me and God, the stillness of a room, the banging of the piano keys, the not worrying about the performance, just talking in the best way I can to Jesus.  To me, the best music is that way….a heartfelt conversation, a pouring out of emotion and feeling and angst and joy and whatever else makes up these human hearts that we have.  And all of that is not dependent on crowds or audiences or attention.  The One who made us is always listening, always attentive, always ready to hear what we are saying or trying to say.  Thank you God.  Blessings, Lisa
