if semantics is your personal way to understand...
if it comes down to word selection or connotation...
how we think
what we say
the way we hear
who we listen to
why things are the way they are
what matters
is
it's all the same in the end
the great news never changes
never varies
never
falters
from an `internal', or first-person perspective
or in an external, third-person way–-
no matter the tide of life at this very moment
sinking
swimming
drowning
floating
idling in beautiful calm still water
or maybe a little of it all at different parts of our days
we know with certainty the bottom line is
we are inseparable-HALLELUJAH!
we can doubt this all we want but we were Created, Loved , and Redeemed for one reason and one reason only.
we are His.
we are successful already.
we are relationally rich already.
we are prosperous already.
we are evangelical enough already.
all we have to do is this
Trust Jesus Christ.
Trust He is who He says He is.
Trust He is the only way to save us
Trust He is our bridge to God
Trust He can reconcile ALL brokenness
He can Connect all fragmentation
He can Heal all burdens.
God does not bring suffering
He will USE suffering for Good
All we have to "do" is Trust!
He will provide.
He will lead us.
He will take care of us!
Won't you please please please Trust with me?
I love you, Lisa

spacious, adventurous, and unafraid
Help us to remain Spacious, Adventurous, and Unafraid as we are lead. NO LIMITS!!! The bible says “I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future” (Jeremiah 29:11).
I can stub my toe in fear. Run around anxious. Walk sniffling and sickly with doubt. Avoid. Avoid. Avoid. Or ask You Lord to please forgive me. By not trusting I am sinning. With doubt I am allowing the strong-hold. My fears invite the enemy. So I am truly sorry and humbly repent. When things do not serve me + may I look to You Lord and try my best to lovingly serve anyway. May I always want the best for my loved ones. May I always offer Your Love to my dear friends and family. May I be a beacon of Your Light in times of our own dark. This I'm learning is maturity.
By Your sweet Mercy and Grace we live Your will.
Gladly cheer and celebrate Your will, no matter the cost.
Have faith and trust You, the Lord of all.
Praise and worship You Father God Almighty through Your son Christ.
Faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see (Hebrews 11:1).
Lord we have Faith.
Wait for the Lord; be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord (Psalm 27:14).
While we wait for answers may we lovingly serve You, our neighbors, and one another.
While we learn patience and Faith + transform the unjust structures in our lives.
May we not be quick to anger or short in temper. Sad or mad. Doubting and fearful. Lord we know this in NOT Your will.
Your almighty will is for immense provision, protection, providence, and peace. Hallelujah! ! !
Following the Lord's lead and trusting His ways+this is done.
Remaining faithful+this is done.
Life takes twists, turns, and changes over and over and over. Things we thought unimaginable and things we imagined. Yet by the Grace of You Lord we receive abundant blessings. By Faith alone we are saved.
No matter where we end up this life or this season it pales in comparison to being with You in Heaven!
Your tremendous favor in my life saves me time and time again. Thank You Jesus!!!
When Your plan for my life leads me to another season that may be risky and cause me to walk by faith and not by sight + may this time bridge the path. May this season of uncertainty ground my Faith. May all the unknown make You known!!!
Psalm 52:9, "I will praise you forever for what you have done; in your name I will hope, for your name is good. I will praise you in the presence of your saints."
Psalm 63:4, "I will praise you as long as I live, and in your name I will lift up my hands."
Lord I want to live Your will. I want to praise You. By Your stripes we are healed. By Your Love we are provided for. By Your acceptance we are saved. Amen.
