In these days of uncertainty, people are searching for safety, security, hope. Something that is unchanging and steady.

Physical healing is a wonderful thing. But all of us, if we are honest, need healing of our souls as well. The deep part of us that makes us us. The part of us, that is different from every other person on this planet, placed in us by God at our conception.
Here are some things that God uses to heal my soul:
……a sunset with all the colors of a masterpiece
……the sounds of the ocean crashing on the shore
……my favorite songs cranked loudly in the car
……quiet time, reading God’s Bible, words of how much He loves me, no matter what
……going outside, doing just about anything, but really seeing, smelling, feeling, listening
……singing, with no holding back
……playing the piano, getting lost in the notes
……seeing, hearing the eyes and smiles and voices of those I love
…..praying and pouring out my heart to the One who made me and cares forever what is going on in my life.
This list could go on and on. But it is good for me to remember. Because soul healing helps everything….the body, the mind, the heart. I encourage you to make your own list soon, and go after some of that soul healing. Blessings on your day. Love, Lisa
God has placed images all around us to show us how to proceed.
I can look at the ground beneath my feet, the pebbles that trip.
Or I can look at the sea, the sky, the clouds, the blue.
I can look forward in hope of the future, or look longingly backwards toward the past.
I am constantly presented these choices….hope or despair. Trust or fear.
The sea and the sky are calling me onward.
Love, Lisa

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.

Dunluce Castle in County Antrim, Ireland, was built around 1500. Impressive, beautiful, terrifying. The ruins that remain teeter right on the edge of the cliff. Yet, they remain. The rock and stone hold, through many years of waves and wind.
I am held and sustained, much more so than man-made castle walls, by my Lord God Creator. The Rock holds me fast. My walls may crumble a bit, but He has me held tightly in His grasp, firm in the Rock.
“The LORD is my rock, my fortress and my deliverer; my God is my rock, in whom I take refuge, my shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold.” – Psalm 18:2
Love, Lisa
