I Will Follow

“You want to go where?!?”

“Up this mountain….come on, it’ll be grand.”

One walks, the other follows, keeping her eyes fixed on the sheep in front. How I wish I could follow Jesus with the same kind of fixedness. Keep my eyes on Him, follow, go, wherever He decides to lead. Yet despite myself, He keeps me following…day by day, step by step, mountain by mountain. And one day I’ll reach the top, with him, and it will be so worth it. I won’t feel the pain of twisted joints from the journey, only joy that I made it with Him. Be encouraged today, Lisa

“Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfector of our faith, who for the joy set before him endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.” ~Hebrews 12:2

“Let your eyes look straight ahead, fix your gaze directly before you. Make level paths for your feet and take only ways that are firm. Do not swerve to the right or the left; keep your foot from evil.” ~Proverbs 4:25-27

The Light

“The Light”

The walls are rough, time has done what it does

But the Light is sure and steady

The window calls out through the hardness

Come to the Light

The Light warms and comforts and illuminates

Time cannot touch it.

When Jesus spoke again to the people, he said, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.” ~John 8:12

It’s a happy day….why? Because this is the day that my guy, my friend, my love was born. And because of that, I have the best husband imaginable. So I am happy! 🙂 Happy birthday, Ed! Love, Lisa

Held

Posted on October 14, 2014 by lyonsroarforgod

Nothing was better as a child than to be held. Nightmares, calling out in the darkness, Mom would be there, I was safe, I was held. Travelling to a new place, Mom or Dad would take my hand, lead me through the uncertainty, the newness, until we were in a safe location and they could let go.

“Yet I am always with You; You hold me by my right hand.” ~Psalm 73:23

God is always there, in the darkness (which is not dark to Him), in the uncertainties (of which He knows the outcome), in the newness. He made you, He loves you, Jesus will never leave you. You are held. Blessings, Lisa

Princess Camera At The Ready

Posted on October 10, 2014 by lyonsroarforgod

Ready to get her sheep photos

While travelling in Ireland, my then 2 1/2 year old had her little pink princess camera ready for action at all times. She had several mini-meltdowns upon learning that she had left it in the car after climbing up a certain long hill, and another time she left it sitting on the wall of a ring fort, requiring the drive back to get her “pictures.” After those two times, we were all diligent to check that camera was in hand. Her favorite subjects were the sheep of course, and she was upset that they would never look up and pose for the camera.

Which makes me remember my little Fisher Price camera from the late 1960’s….I loved pushing that little yellow button and watching the “flash bulb” move. And absolutely no worries how the photo turned out….they were all perfect. 😉

Enjoy your camera today, whether it be a phone camera, fancy top of the line model, or a pink plastic one. Slainte, Lisa
