Staying safe and sound on solid ground…..
Or flying high above the oceans….
Our choice.
Fear is grounding.
Faith lets us fly.

Spring Will Come
Virginia in the spring
Winter is difficult for those of us with chronic pain. Cold does not agree with already stiff and painful joints. But every step we are taking is bringing us one step closer to Spring. It is right there, beneath the ground, ready to spring forth with blossoms, breezes, wafts of fragrance.
New life. New dreams.
“Because of the Lord’s great love we are not consumed,
for His compassions never fail.
They are new every morning;
Great is your faithfulness.
I say to myself, ‘The Lord is my portion;
Therefore I will wait for him.’ ”
-Lamentations 3:22-24

Expectation
County Antrim, Ireland
The sea fills me with an inexpressible feeling.
But whatever that feeling is, it is good, it has hope, it contains a sense of expectation.
Future.
Power.
Peace.
God.
Love, Lisa
Lead Me On
Around the unseen corner, lead me.
Down the steep hill, lead me.
Across the rocky path, lead me.
To peaceful green pasture.
To blue sea.
To sky and heaven above.
Lord, You lead me every moment.
Thank You.
Love, Lisa

Where We’ve Been
Monasterboice, established 5th century, County Louth, Ireland
History is a story. A story of where we’ve been, lessons we’ve learned, both good and bad. History forgotten is time wasted. It sets people up for repeating mistakes over and over.
One of the best things about Ireland is the respect shown for the past. They don’t tear down the past, simply because it might be empty, falling apart, or what is considered to be culturally irrelevant by some. The celtic crosses, the monasteries, the abandoned cottages. They remain as a testament to what was, what was learned, where they have been. And gives an amazing sense of hope for the future. That the things of God remain, that no matter what man might say, God is alive and well in 2020 and forever.
Love, Lisa
