Another Year too quickly it seems at last .. has come to pass..

As we take that Spiritual Inventory .. there are things.. that did not seem completed in the former year.. that will follow us into the next .. 2008 was to be the year of the Open door ..And although some doors did open .. exactly what did they open .. the process has not been completed .. but truly doors opened .. I pray that in 2009 .. it will be a little more defined .. on where those doors lead .. I am still expecting .. What God has for me.. to come to pass.. His word says.. He will be faithful to complete the work in me .. that He has started.. I believe this.. and so I wait.. Trusting in Him ..

Not in man.. or in myself.. Only God can accomplish His will in my life ..


I do know that some doors have closed.. And truth be told.. doors do have to close in order for new doors to open.. We can only walk through one door at a time.. So again as I trust God to make the crooked paths straight.. I take hold of the corrections from the Lord from this past year.. and walk forward.. with healing in my heart ..


So as I say goodbye.. to 2008 .. I can say .. it has not been a wasted year.. but one with change.. healing .. and more defined expectations for 2009 ..
What will God birth in me ..
I have a glimps .. And I am excited to see...
God Bless you for taking this journey with me ...
Note: Check out my poetry site.. My .. Good-Bye to 2008
Isaiah 40:31 But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.

What is a Moo Doodle .. he is not a kitten or a poodle.. He is just my Henry Moo Doodle

I just spent 

A day and A night 

With my little Grandson 

Henry

 I wrote him a story for Christmas

There is much to be said

For not having money

I would rather 

Have heart 

Instead

I found this little Stuffed Cow 

And 

Thought right away 

About my little Henry

We tease each other .. I call him Henry doodle

And 

In return he giggles and calls me Gram-Me doodle

His mother calls him Moo Moo sometimes 

Because of a little song we sang when she was his age

The story is a 

Moo~autiful Story

 About a Gram-Me Moo Doodle 

Going to visit

Her grandson 

Henry Moo Doodle

 Moo Doodle is a royal cow

With a gold ribbon tied in a bow about his neck 

Holding a beautiful gold bell

So you can always tell 

When he is coming 

And 

When he is going

We wonder 

And 

Suppose if that Bow

 Could turn 

Into wings 

And 

Transport 

My little Moo Doodle

Then he could visit 

Anytime 

He would like

Instead of having to play 

Through the phone 

It brought me lots of Giggles .. lol

Note: It was a lot of work on my part.. but done with my heart.. Next year.. I will start earlier.. it will be easier.. as I am learning.. how to do this.. writing thing.. and have found some wonderful illustrators .. One Day.. my work.. will see professional publishing.. Until that day..
I will keep doing what I do.. Writing out of my heart.. for those that touch my life..
Much Love
Gram-Me.. Mom-Me .. LisaMe!

The healing of me .. Part 2 .. December 21st

Some of this was written.. as a tribute on Liza's birthday this past year.. I sent out an email card to all of my family and friends .. just wanting them to remember.. my daughter .. Reflections of the past.. may be painful.. but we learn from our past.. and we move on.. we are not meant to live in our past or in there mistakes or hurts .. Liza was a "Joy" in my life... with lots of happy memories.. and yes.. sad ones too.. Heart breaking ones.. My heart did not break.. but was torn.. but God mended me.. repairing my heart.. so that I could live to give... to any and all who would be willing to hear..

So .. If you read this Please do not be sad .. Jesus died too .. and He left us with a promise of eternal life. That hope is here for all of us. Reach out to those around you and show them Love today. Life can be very lonely at times for lots of people. You can make a difference in some one's life. God loves you .. His greatest commandment is to love one another.

I re-visited here today.. Remembering 27 years ago.. it all started on Dec 17.. 1981 .. a day much like today.. cold and foggy .. that night we ended up in the emergency room.. by ambulance .. this was before 911 .. How far things have come .. then transported to Ochsner.. i was too young to understand all that was happening.. your life in the hand of man.. But in the next 5 days.. I would come to understand.. that your life.. Was in the hands of God..

Reflections of life some good , some bad, some happy, some sad..
And so I lean not on my own understand but in All my ways acknowledge Him .. Because of Him my life is/was forever changed

I released you to God but you will always live in my heart. It is because you lived and died that I have so much love for God in my life. So I remember you with gladness in my heart .. not sadness because I know that even though we have had to be apart .. you have lived within my heart. God has been with us both .. and one day we will meet again .. in Heaven .. Heavens little girl - until we meet again - you are loved and missed .. I will always remember the "Joy" you gave me .. I Love you .. Mom-Me ..

March 4, 1980 .. Returned to heaven .. December 21

In loving Memory of my ..Little

You are a "beautiful" memory in my garden of life.

Note: Sunday December 21, 2008 ... I will be at my mother's house.. I believe God has more healing to take place.. in the life of me and my mother .. the distance and the space .. in our relationship .. started 27 years ago .. The hurt in our lives.. hurt those around us.. Love hurts.. there is no way around it .. you must go through it ..

Mother..

I needed you to walk with me ..

I was in a place where not many understood..

I felt so all alone..

In my weakness I became strong..

Leaning on God..

But I still needed you ..

I felt like you abandoned me

I am here today to set this feeling of abandonment free

Released to the Lord

For our healing

Your Child LisaMe!

Today is the day

This is the Day that the Lord has Made

I will rejoice and be glad in it

This can be the day that will change

The rest of my life

I am meeting with a photographer

She is more than a person with a camera She is someone who will see what I see

First with her spirit

Then through the lense of her Camera

This will open a whole new world to me
As we bring encouragement to the Nations
We will compliment each other.. with our work..

I pray that the Lord would show us the way
As we think upon our meeting today ...

Note: here a yr later ... God took me on a different path .. and Praise be unto Him ..my book is published at last

It's beginning to Look a lot like Christmas

All the Fancy

Frills

Children's Laughter 

Reindeer's

With red noses

As One Supposes

But

I do not believe in Santa Claus

So

In saying this

I 

Take 

A

Pause

To

Say

Everyone

Deserves A Laugh

And 

So

I 

Caution

You

Open at your 

Own

Risk

 You

Might

Just

Get

Wet

Splish Splash
This is LisaMe!

Jumping in with

Both Feet

Nice to Meet You
