God uses music to speak to me in a way that touches my soul deeply. This song spoke to me this morning, and I hope it encourages you as well. Be blessed, be happy, be close to those who love you and you love back. And that includes the One who made you; He loves you most of all. Slainte, Lisa
The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not be in want
He makes me lie down in green pastures,
He leads me beside quiet waters,
He restores my soul.
He guides me in paths of righteousness for His name’s sake.
Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death I will fear no evil, for You are with me;
Your rod and your staff, they comfort me.
You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies
You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows.
Surely goodness and mercy will follow me all the days of my life,
And I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever. ~Psalm 23
I pray these words bring solace and peace to your soul today. Blessings and love, Lisa

When I wake up on a day like this, I have two choices: cover up my head and call it a day, or put on my boots, warm coat, zip up and go on. I wish I could say that I always choose the latter of the two, but on the days when I have, I have been so glad. Because beauty, joy, discovery can still be found on grey days…the beaches are quieter, the mountains look mysterious and as if they have a story to tell, and the wind cleanses and pushes out all the other “stuff” I might have been feeling.
You may be going through something really hard right now, something so big that you don’t know how to tackle it….you feel like diving under the covers and calling it a day. The longer I live this life, the more I see that all of us go through some pretty hard stuff. But if I will just zip up my boots (don’t get me started on how much I love my boots 🙂 ) and face the wind, no matter how stiff, I am alive, I am blessed, God is looking down on me and cares about me. It may feel like He’s raining down on me sometimes, but those storm clouds are just another shade of blue. Making me stronger, making me more like him. Keep going, keep looking, the storm clouds will break, pass, and the blue sky is right there. And it has been, all the time. Slainte, Lisa
“By day the Lord went ahead of them in a pillar of cloud to guide them on their way…” ~Exodus 13:21a
I don’t know this man or his story, but he’s rowing a rather large boat with a motor attached. If his motor fizzled out, he has a long row back to shore. Whatever his story is, he’s not giving up. He’s rowing. And eventually he will get to the shore. He’ll make it.
“Be strong and courageous. Do not be terrified; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.” ~Joshua 1:9
Whatever you’re facing today, I pray God’s strength and courage for you. For God is with you wherever you go. Blessings, Lisa
