The Perfect Fortress

Posted on February 15, 2013 by lyonsroarforgod

This morning I awoke to the news of the meteor crashing near the Ural Mountains in Russia…around 1000 people injured from shattering glass and explosions. We have been to Russia several times and her people hold a special place in our hearts, so I have been praying for them this morning. Praying and thinking….when things out of our control happen, where do I turn? Where is my hope? Jesus is my hope, my strong and mighty fortress that will never, ever change or fall; my future that is steady and predictable and good.

“My soul finds rest in God alone; my salvation comes from Him. He alone is my rock and my salvation; he is my fortress, I will never be shaken.” – Psalm 62:1-2
Whatever comes your way today, run fast and hide in his fortress; He will protect you and never leave you. Blessings, Lisa

Countdown to a Wedding…

Posted on February 12, 2013 by lyonsroarforgod

25 years ago today, I was waking up and filled with excitement because the next day was my wedding day! 25 years ago today, I was getting ready for our rehearsal and rehearsal dinner at Lake of the Woods. That strange, unique feeling of nervous and excited combined to make for a giddy and unforgettable day.

And then my husband to be sent me a perfect rose and calmed my high-octane spirit down into peaceful happiness and a sense that all was right in this decision. 25 years ago today, I was getting ready to marry the man that I had always loved and still love so much today. Remembering it now, and so grateful and thankful that God put us together. Hold tightly to those you love, and let them know that you remember and are glad. Slainte, Lisa

The Perfect Day

Posted on February 11, 2013 by lyonsroarforgod

The perfect day could be….
Walking through the surf, kicking up the foam as you go

Finding an unbroken and perfect sand dollar at the bottom of clear blue water

Listening to the steel drum band as they play beachfront

Taking your boogie board out for the seventh time, but that time you catch the perfect wave that lifts you up and lets you fly along the top of the water, then sets you down and carries you to shore

Holding hands with the one you love as you watch the sun set over the ocean

Hearing God’s voice, like many rushing waters, as you listen to the ocean’s roar

What would be a perfect day for you? Love to hear from you, as always. Slainte, Lisa

Blowing Out the Candle

Posted on February 8, 2013 by lyonsroarforgod

Tomorrow is this blog’s first birthday…a whole year old! 🙂 When it started, I wasn’t sure how it was going to go….it was all so new. Like a newborn, I marveled at the process and delighted in the newness. As time progressed, the blog has been learning to sit up, crawl, and now is beginning to walk. And with time, the blog is changing, as we all change through life. It will be interesting to see where it is this time next year when it reaches the “terrible two’s.” haha Thank you for sharing this first year with me, for the supportive comments, the love, and the likes. My wish on the candle? For blessings for you and your families, and for you to know without a shadow of a doubt how much God loves you. Slainte, Lisa
