In the stillness

There are times
in the stillness
of silence
the most is spoken...

Remember
God knows our hearts
and hears our prayers
before they are whispered ..
He is Already there...

Love your sister friend...
LisaMe!

Note:2-21-09 Written after reading a friends journal about the stillness of the early morning in her house.. when everyone else is asleep.. of her secret cries out to God.. for His understanding and help ..

Note to self: 2-21-09 .. God always comes to the rescue.. He is the Victory .. It is not in our time.. or in our way.. but He always shows up.. either way.. He is there in the midst of your storm .. in the midst of your pain.. He could be sunshine or He could be rain.. either way.. Continue to sing His Praise.. He is your Victory .. I share this with you... As I continue to remind myself.. His will is on the way .. These things have come to pass not to stay .. LisaMe!

Note 12-13-2012 Day 33~ Praying Heart~Prayer changes things.. Talking to God about what is going on in our lives .. Listening to His answers is important too.. Bringing petitions to the Lord .. and knowing He is listening with answers for your soul .. LisaMe!

Note: 12/13/2016
Oh How I feel this more and more ..
No One can understand .. those still times
Unless they experience it ..
Father God .. Thank you for not leaving me
I Love you.. LisaMe!

In my Weakness.. He is strong

"Healing comes in so many ways; it strengthens our hearts and lengthens our days" LisaMe!


I have been a little tired.. of late..
I suffer with chronic fatigue.. (2015 they diagnosed Lupus)

It has been around me all of my life.. first as a daughter ..and then a mother and a wife..
I have been diagnosed with many things.. none of which I hold myself too ..
(only meaning I do not claim.. them) I have learned when I am tired.. I rest ..
If only I could learn to pace myself a little better.. not to get tired in the first place.. lol ..
Not so easy a task.. when getting up out of bed.. can tire me at times.. lol .. Yes, I laugh ..
because it amuses me to see How the Lord works in me.. I am truly not like others ..

I have known this since I was a child.. although I do not always understand .. at least I know..
How my weakness.. brings me to strength .. so do not morn for me.. when I am gone..
just rejoice the day I was born ..
Born to share my weakness with you..

The sun has come out today..
my fingers hit the keyboard..
and I began to play.. lol
I thank God..
He rested with me yesterday ..
and restored my soul for another day ..
I will rejoice in the Lord Always!

Philippians 4: I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me

2 Corinthians 4:18 while we do not look at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen. For the things which are seen are temporary, but the things which are not seen are eternal.

Note: This is not my first winter that has come to pass .. lol .. The seasons of our lives do not necessarily run the same course as the 4 seasons .. I thought you would enjoy reading.. my words.. on the winter seasons of my life .. found in the Poetry blog site (Gods Blessings (In the Winter Season of our life)

Gods Blessings (In the Winter Season of our Lives)

Praise God from whom ALL Blessings flow

Even in the winter season

When the grass is covered with snow

When the things of life have no rhyme or reason

There is one thing

That I know that I know

God's Blessings will

Eventually flow

God's greatest gifts are just before us

It is not what is seen that is eternal

But those things that are unseen

We are to keep our eyes on the Father above

Who in His time brings all things to pass?

Just like when the snow melts

And beneath is the green grass

That has been protected

And nourished from the snow

God's plans may be hidden for a while

But in His time His blessings will shower down

With His unfailing love

He was never far from us

Only covering us with protection in the

Winter season of our life

Love LisaMe!

God is going to be your Victory song .. your hard work will pay off .. even it is the end of you .. God will see you carry through .. You will hear the words .. You finished the race.. and not at anyone else's pace .. You push, you press .. trying to clean up others mess .. No wonder you feel alone .. You are building a Community Center around your home .. Keep building they will come .. Hold on Spring is truly on it's way .. Aaron .. I am happy to call you friend :D

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!
