Created to Dream

“Never lose sight of the desires God has placed within you.”  ~Anonymous

“I don’t want to see you hesitate, when you’ve been called to explore

And I don’t want to see you weary, when you’ve been made to soar…

In case you didn’t know, you have permission to dream.” ~Enation, Permission to Dream

“I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which
God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.”
Philippians 3:14 (NIV)

It’s easy to get down, be uninspired, to be bogged down in the details.  But God has created you in His image…a creative, inspired, alive, and dreaming person who is one of a kind.  Rejoice!  Lisa

 

The Tale of Two Trees

DSCN1238

Once upon a time, there were two trees.  One was straight and tall, no impediments in his way up towards the sky.  His neighbor was different, with many twisty-turny limbs, curves, unexpected bends.  The twisty tree looked longingly at his neighbor, wishing his path could be so predictable, even, steady.  Yet the other tree wished for more excitement, more challenges as his bendable neighbor had.  Over time, they learned from each other, they grew together, they both served their purpose….to bring beauty and joy and fresh clean air to all who passed by.

No matter which tree represents your life today, you have a great purpose.  God will use you if you are open and listening to Him.  Slainte, Lisa

A Warm Autumn Day

I’m late, but not really….the post can wait, the weather couldn’t.  🙂  We had to take advantage of the warm autumn air while we have it.  Warm sun, crunchy leaves, perfect blue sky, breeze that lifts your hair and takes it on a little trip….what could be better in November?  Thanking God; He is so good.  Blessings for your day, and praying you’ve had a great one.   Lisa

Held

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

Life’s Journey

“Strength for life’s journey will meet you one step at a time.”  ~Anonymous

Step by step, bit by bit, you’ll get there if you keep your eyes fixed on the goal.  Just a little farther.  It’s worth it.  May the grace and mercy of Jesus give you just what you need for your journey.  Blessings, Lisa
