trusting

i just want to bring myself to this place..  the blog!  ha!

i'm about to venture off to bed, dream, sleep, rest, lie down, take a snooze...  you get the picture.  

but i needed to get some words out and feel satisfied, if you know what i mean.  thanks... 

many people are going through some difficult seasons. i wanted to declare, as the heavens are speaking and we are responding, because we can hear heaven, right?!  :-)

...... can you hear our cries?  our requests made known? i know YOU hear and have heard.  my heart is longing for hope in the healings and my mind is settling on the unknown, but faith lifts up and carries me and shows me that i'm not alone. the body of believers are standing firm.  they are listening to the battle cry!  we are one with the Holy of Holies and we are needing His armor, His voice, His hands, His truth, His visions, His spirit, His reigning, His desires, His EVERYTHING to encompass His bride, at this hour, for this time.. Your will be done, Your heart chooses.. you, alone are God, sovereign...  trusting, your daughter... lisi

what already is

writing a few songs to add to the 'getting over myself' theme... :-)

reading and listening lately to some cool insight from different places...

friends, authors, wisdom from Job, doubting thomases, joy in the unexpected places, like severe thunderstorms, and my children, my husband, the weight of wilderness stories from close friends.... just a few, but soooo rich and i'm gaining! gain of hope, faith, joy, love.. the fruit of god's spirit i'm learning more about through all of these and more~



here's a start to the first verse..

looking left and right
but it's right here
in front of you.
tired of putting up a fight
so alone-and you wonder
where to go, what to do
yet all along,
as you strive for more,
what you need the most is this...

not something new
just knowing what already is

dream on!

i still can hear my friend, emma's voice, and see that beautiful smile on her face as she spoke these encouraging words for girls of all ages to hear~

"no dream is too big, no dream is too small..." she shared/spoke that for a simple dvd i was grateful to produce for women to encourage them to pursue their dreams, no matter how young and no matter how mature in age they are; no matter the circumstances, no matter what the stronghold may be.. God hears the voices and He knows how to speak to the desires and builds us strong and stronger in our spirits, in our minds, and in our hearts, so that we can pursue those callings, those dreams that He has created for us, before the foundations of the earth were put into place! wooooohoooo!

here is my dream:

to visit and to be with young girls and young women and older ones in india that have been through and are going through difficult trials such as being forced into a life that is degrading and horrific, to say the least.. i want to be jesus there, with the skin he gave me and reach out with love, that he gives me, to bridge them over to the throne of grace, the arms of mercy, the spirit of perfect love from heaven! (this bookmark i found recently found at barnes.. it reminds me of these beauty people!)

what's your dream? i'll be praying for you~

love, lisi
