The Lonely Microphones

699

Microphones are amazing; they amplify, they enhance, they enrich.  Yet without the sound, the voice; they are simply waiting.  Waiting for the person, the instrument, the sound, the vibrations to enter in and make the magic.  Hopefully these mics won’t have to wait too long.  🙂

Sing a new and happy song on your Wednesday; with or without your mic, God will love it!  🙂  Slainte, Lisa

God’s Beauty

DSCN1089

This picture was taken at an old and beautiful fort in San Juan, Puerto Rico.  But  even though I am surrounded by manmade wonder, I can’t take my eyes off God’s sky.  The storm clouds moving in, the formations, the variation in light.  It’s stunning, and it’s all God.  That’s cool.  🙂  He’s everywhere.  Blessings, Lisa

What Am I Worth?

“The value of a person isn’t measured on an applause meter; it’s measured in the heart and mind of God.”  ~John Fischer

As a singer/songwriter, it’s all too easy to get caught up in rating your applause meter.  Before I knew that God loved me unconditionally, irregardless of my performance, that’s how I worked, lived, was motivated.  And I tell you, it’s no way to live.  One mistake and you’re feeling pitiful about yourself, berating yourself at every lukewarm reception.  But Jesus sees me differently.  He loved me way before I took notice of Him.  I can mess up every note, every song, and He will not change in His feelings toward me, the child that He has made.  And that makes me priceless, untouchable by applause or lack thereof.  Child of God, person made and loved by the King of the entire world.  Way too much for my mind to fully understand, but what parts I can take in, I cherish.  Blessings on your day today, Lisa

“This is what the Lord says: ‘I have loved you with an everlasting love; I have drawn you with loving-kindness.’ ” ~Jeremiah 31:3

“To those who have been called, who are loved by God the Father and kept by Jesus Christ: mercy, peace and love be yours in abundance.” ~Jude 1-2

Light Over Darkness

“All of the darkness in the world cannot put out the light of one small candle.”  ~Unknown

Dark night, no moon, no stars, just blackness.  You feel as if nothing could cut the dark.  But as soon as someone lights one little candle, or pushes the switch on a flashlight, what was once dark is light.  Just like that.  Fear is gone, relief comes.  Light.  Hope.  Future.  Peace.  May God fill your heart and mind with His light today.  Lisa

“You, O Lord, keep my lamp burning; my God turns my darkness into light.” ~Psalm 18: 28

“In Your light we see light.”  ~Psalm 36:9b
