Usually change terrifies me….but God is doing something new in me. Changes are coming in our family, and I’m feeling rather exhilarated, excited, anticipatory. (Plus, I’m wanting to use flowery adjectives, which is not such a good thing. haha) New schools, new job, new challenges and schedules. Not boring, not predictable, and definitely not the same-old, same-old. 🙂 The winds of change are blowing, but I’m not afraid because my good God is in the middle of it all. Blessings to you today, Lisa
Shadows, water, wood, sand, color, sounds.
Love being beneath a pier.
Thankful today for many things, but the ability to feel and see and hear and experience all the wonders and beauty that Jesus has made is forefront in my mind this morning. Enjoy your day, truly and wholly. Slainte, Lisa
These clouds are just begging for someone to take a nice long nap on them. Kick your feet up on the end, sink your head down into the downy precipitation, and rest. The first time that I flew on an airplane as a child, I was alarmed when I saw that we were heading into one of these soft creations. Would we make it through? How would it feel? Passing through on the other side, I was relieved yet somewhat disappointed that the cloud did not hold up like I always imagined it would. Yet I still love to think of me sitting on a cloud, watching the world and all its cares float away. Maybe when we’re with Jesus one day, we’ll be so light and forgiven, that the weight of this world won’t pull us through. We’ll be free to rest on those beautiful puffs of white. Blessings on your day, Lisa
So many hurting people, so much overwhelming sense of “what can I do?” My heart has been aching for those people I will maybe never know who are hurting, right now, in some way that I don’t know. I want to help. I am praying, I am crying out to God to touch them in the way that only He can. I am asking Him to help me not to judge, only to love. Not to give hurting people clichéd, tired answers to their problems, but just to listen, to put a hand on theirs. Because we all have been sad, we’ve all been hurt, we all need help. If you’re hurting today, please know that even though I may not know you, I’m praying for you. If you want to write, I’ll write back. Love, Lisa
“The Lord is near to those who have a broken heart and saves such as have a broken spirit. Many are the afflictions of the righteous, But the Lord delivers him from them all.” ~Psalm 34:18
“I have found the paradox,
that if you love until it hurts,
there can be no more hurt, only more love.”
~Mother Teresa
There are things in this life we cannot know. We can sometimes sense them lingering out of reach, yet near. Like these small homes off in the distance in the picture. We can’t know what’s going on inside these homes, what the people are doing, saying, thinking. Whether they’re at peace or not. But God knows these things. It comes down to faith, trust, belief in Someone greater. He holds the answers, He knows the way it will work, He cares for us enough to give the greatest good in the end. And it won’t just be a pretty picture….it will be the perfect picture. Blessings, Lisa “And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.” ~Romans 8:28
