Deep Calls to Deep

 

DSCN2463“Deep calls to deep in the roar of your waterfalls; all your waves and breakers have swept over me.”  ~ Psalm 42:7

Certain verses and quotes speak to me profoundly, even though I don’t quite grasp the entirety of what it is trying to say.  At the risk of being redundant, they are too deep.  Like God.  I think I understand Him, but I really only just see the surface, the beginnings of wonderfulness.  There is so much more than what we can see and understand, and that is exciting.  The future is thrilling in its uncertain discoveries.  Comment below and share your thoughts on this verse, how it makes you feel, what thoughts come to your mind.  Blessings, Lisa

 

Seeing the Ocean for the First Time

Our puppy's first glimpse of the ocean

Our puppy’s first glimpse of the ocean

Do you remember the first time you saw the ocean?  I don’t, but I do remember early sensations of getting used to hot sand on my feet, the roar of the water, the feeling of being somewhere totally different yet comforting in its encompassing world.  The Outer Banks of NC has been my training ground since the age of 3, and the feeling of the sea oats, the dunes, the unpredictable surf is the best medicine to me.  God has used water in my life to draw me closer to Him, to be able to calm down and listen to His voice and His only.  I thank Him for it, for waves and sky and clouds and sand and sounds and salt air.  Whether you’re by the sea or dreaming of it today, thank Him for the things you love.  Lisa

Following the Leader

“If I sit just so, and hold my beak the same way….”  😉 Even birds can have role models, birds that they look up to and try to mirror.  I just pray that I am keeping my eyes on the One who will transform me into the person He knows I could be.  Blessings, Lisa
