A bird soaring high above the earth, lifted by the winds.
A leaf fluttering and flying, lifted by the breeze.
A massive airplane defying its weight, lifted by the wind over and under its wings.
Our spirits, when God rushes through, with His Holy Spirit wind to lift us.
The feeling and miracle of flight, the relief and freedom of forgiveness in Christ
Be blessed today. Know the love and forgiveness of Christ in your heart. Let the lifting of your spirit commence. Love, Lisa
Biking wildly down the road, wind on your face, worries behind
Standing at the turbulent shore, waves crashing, wind howling
Skate edges find ice, flying easily, cold fresh wind on your face
Holding on to balance atop a tall mountain, wind buffeting, mind cleared
The cleansing wind
c 2020 Lisa Lyons
There have been many memorable moments in our Ireland journeys where the wind felt like it was literally holding us up, pushing us along, carrying us on the distinctive Irish scent of salt air and green fields. Moments that took your breath away, pushed all the worry far from mind.
Braving the winds outside Glencolmcille, so we could hear the sheep below.

Sometimes, the wind that feels like it could knock you down, actually holds you up. And rewards you with beauty and clarity unknown before.
“He makes the clouds his chariot and rides on the wings of the wind. He makes winds his messengers.” -Psalm 104:3b, 4a
Lean into the wind. He will hold you up. Love, Lisa
Those who know me know that I love the wind. Cleansing, refreshing, roaring, invigorating wind.
New starts and reinvigorated beginnings feel like fresh wind. I am so thankful that God gives us that shot in the arm just when we need it. “The wind blows wherever it pleases. You hear its sound, but you cannot tell where it comes from or where it is going. So it is with everyone born of the Spirit.” ~Jesus, John 3:8

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
