“But finding You brought my heart to rest,
In the shadow of Your wings I’ll hide
Your words are true and merciful
And forgiveness bought by You is mine…”

Listening
“My lover spoke and said to me, ‘Arise, my darling, my beautiful one, and come with me. See! The winter is past, the rains are over and gone. Flowers appear on the earth, the season of singing has come….Arise, come, my darling; my beautiful one, come with me.’ ” ~Song of Songs 2:10-12,13b
“Weeping may tarry for the night,
but joy comes with the morning.” ~Psalm 30:5b ESV
No matter what we go through, it will eventually get better. Around the dark clouds, behind them somewhere, lies the sun in all its brilliance and warmth. Underneath the cold ground of winter lie the buds and blooms of spring just waiting to break forth. Waiting, praying, hoping. Never giving up listening to the Voice of love. Blessings, Lisa
How Great Thou Art
“Then sings my soul, my Savior God to Thee
How great Thou art, how great Thou art
Then sings my soul, my Savior God to Thee
How great Thou art! How great Thou art!
Life Without Jesus….I Couldn’t Do It
A Facebook friend recently announced, “I no longer know if I believe in God.” He/she is now publicly and openly debating the existence of God and Jesus in what they feel to be a highly intelligent and logical way. I can’t even think of the words to say; all I feel is utter sadness for this person. To lose hope in the only hope. Jesus is what keeps me going, what keeps me moving and breathing and hoping and living. And I can’t explain it logically to this person; I just know it. So I’m praying for him/her. Because Jesus is strong enough, big enough, loving enough to bring them back to himself. Please join me in praying, for this person and all the others who need that hope, those answers.
“When people say, you know, ‘Good teacher,’ ‘Prophet,’ ‘Really nice guy’….this is not how Jesus thought of Himself. So you’re left with a challenge in that, which is either Jesus was who He said he was or a complete and utter nut case. You have to make a choice on that.” ~Bono
So, so thankful for Jesus. Blessings, Lisa
What’s Around the Corner?
None of us know what’s around the corner until we step forward and keep going. Good or bad, it’s our life and life is full of learning. As we travel through, around, beneath, and atop, we will discover many things. Beauty, joy, and peace are the things my soul longs for. God has placed these things in the smallest of leaves, the intricacy of cloud formations in the sky, the amazingness of rocks that somehow hold together for hundreds of years. His love for me is written in the sky, and in the earth He created, and on His hands and feet. I just have to remember to keep looking. I would love to hear from you how you see and hear God the best. Slainte, Lisa
