Life Without Jesus….I Couldn’t Do It

Posted on by

A Facebook friend recently announced, “I no longer know if I believe in God.”  He/she is now publicly and openly debating the existence of God and Jesus in what they feel to be a highly intelligent and logical way.  I can’t even think of the words to say; all I feel is utter sadness for this person.  To lose hope in the only hope.  Jesus is what keeps me going, what keeps me moving and breathing and hoping and living.  And I can’t explain it logically to this person; I just know it.  So I’m praying for him/her.  Because Jesus is strong enough, big enough, loving enough to bring them back to himself.  Please join me in praying, for this person and all the others who need that hope, those answers.

“When people say, you know, ‘Good teacher,’ ‘Prophet,’ ‘Really nice guy’….this is not how Jesus thought of Himself.  So you’re left with a challenge in that, which is either Jesus was who He said he was or a complete and utter nut case.  You have to make a choice on that.”  ~Bono

So, so thankful for Jesus.  Blessings, Lisa

 

What’s Around the Corner?

None of us know what’s around the corner until we step forward and keep going.  Good or bad, it’s our life and life is full of learning.  As we travel through, around, beneath, and atop, we will discover many things.  Beauty, joy, and peace are the things my soul longs for. God has placed these things in the smallest of leaves, the intricacy of cloud formations in the sky, the amazingness of rocks that somehow hold together for hundreds of years.  His love for me is written in the sky, and in the earth He created, and on His hands and feet.  I just have to remember to keep looking.  I would love to hear from you how you see and hear God the best.   Slainte, Lisa

The Healing Powers of an Enticing Goal from an Amazing God

God can use all sorts of things to heal us, to lift our spirits for a time and give us hope.  This picture shows us happily smiling with an amazingly beautiful view behind us in Portmagee, Ireland.  What the picture doesn’t show is the hike that preceeded it, one foot placed after the other to reach the top.  What it also doesn’t show is my sprained right ankle, carefully wrapped and tucked tightly inside a laced-up boot.  You see, I had turned it two days earlier in the airport enroute, and I thought hiking was definitely out of the question for a few more days.  I had iced, rested, elevated, but I was in IRELAND, baby!  We drove by this short hike, and I said, “Let’s try it….I can stop if it gets too bad.”  Step, step, step, keep going, almost there…..aaaahhhh…look at that view!!!!  🙂  And suddenly, that ankle felt so much better.  And it was fine the rest of the trip.  God’s beauty, a goal, what a great combination.

Note to self:  Must remember this story and keep on looking for the views.  🙂

Blessings on your day, Lisa
