Summer Says See You Soon!

DSCN2724

I always get a little sad when summer is leaving.  I am a summer girl…love walking outside with no coat, no gloves….love the water…..love the feeling of the heat on my skin and my face.  But whenever I’m sad about someone or something leaving, I don’t say “goodbye.”  I say “see you soon!”  And the things I love are still there, they are just out of sight for a little while.  Meanwhile, I will try to embrace the cooler air and sweaters re-emerging from dark recessed places of my closet.  The wind will hit my face; I’ll breathe deeply; life is a wonderful gift.  Blessings, Lisa

Water Plus Power Equals God

When I sit beside the ocean, I hear power, I hear peace, I hear God.  The power of a wave, even a small wave, as it crashes on top of you is amazingly strong.  The pull of the water as it retreats back into the sea takes all in its path.  The sound of the waves on the shore is all encompassing, drowning out the voices surrounding, the worries, the fears.  Like Jesus.  He draws all of us to himself; He wants all of us to be with Him, to listen to His voice, feel peace, feel encompassing protection.  Listen….can you hear Him?  Blessings, Lisa

Flying School

“Watch that wing!  Pull your nose up!  Keep on the outlook for fish, and don’t forget….have fun!”  ~Teacher Bird

My three birds are have flown out of their nest into various schools this morning.  Praying for their day to be one of joy and newness and friendship and learning.  And for them to have fun on the journey.  🙂  Slainte, Lisa

Fresh Wind of Change

Usually change terrifies me….but God is doing something new in me.  Changes are coming in our family, and I’m feeling rather exhilarated, excited, anticipatory.  (Plus, I’m wanting to use flowery adjectives, which is not such a good thing.  haha)  New schools, new job, new challenges and schedules.  Not boring, not predictable, and definitely not the same-old, same-old.  🙂  The winds of change are blowing, but I’m not afraid because my good God is in the middle of it all.  Blessings to you today, Lisa

Beneath the Pier

Shadows, water, wood, sand, color, sounds.

Love being beneath a pier.

Thankful today for many things, but the ability to feel and see and hear and experience all the wonders and beauty that Jesus has made is forefront in my mind this morning.  Enjoy your day, truly and wholly.  Slainte, Lisa
