Wide Open Space

Ever wanted to be free?  Free from guilt, free from past pain, free from the feeling that you’re not good enough, free to just be in some wide open space?  There is a way…..

“We throw open our doors to God and discover at the same moment that He has already thrown open his door to us.  We find ourselves standing where we always hoped we might stand – out in the wide open spaces of God’s grace and glory.” – Romans 5:2 The Message

“If the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed.” – Jesus, John 8:36 NIV

He forgives, he loves you, he lets you start over.  And that’s true freedom.  Blessings on your day, Lisa

Traveling Light

When we travel, we like to travel lightly.  One carry-on 20 inch suitcase is the limit.  Once I get past the initial, “There’s no way that I can fit everything for 3 weeks in there!” stage, it is the most freeing thing.  No worrying about whether the suitcase will make it off the plane, no lugging heavy suitcases from town to town, easy choices in the morning about what to wear since there’s only 2 or 3 options.  🙂

I am in the process of “lightening” my laptop right now.  Taking all the memory heavy pictures off and putting them on an external source to free up some memory.  My computer feels happier and quicker and lighter already.

One day I will travel to my final place with God and the angels, and I want to travel lightly.  Nothing worse than going to heaven with a big old heavy suitcase full of regrets, guilt and excessive stuff.  Because after all, if I want to fly, I be weightless. 🙂  May all your travels be good ones today.

Slainte, Lisa

Turning Over a New Leaf

My yard is full of new leaves…some of them are just a week or two old, full of greenness and newness.  Looking around, I see green, green, and more green, and with all that color, I see hope and new life and renewal.  They remind me that in Christ I am a new creation; the old has passed, the new has come.  (2 Cor. 5:17)  God is all about new beginnings…”do-overs”….Thank goodness for that; I tend to need a lot of them in my life.  🙂  Enjoy the green today!  Slainte, Lisa
