hey! i was thinking in the shower this weekend about my blog.. why i have one, what i share, etc... :-)friends/family may read this blog, but that's not why i'm writing on 17 diamonds, so just others can read or comment, or share.
it's a bit more needy on my part/i don't like to admit, maybe a lil' selfish, for me! :-D
blogging sort of reminds me... of a church, a place of truth, a place of finding, seeking, knowing, hoping. a 'safe' place, and a quiet place. doesn't matter the time or the day/i'm a night owl! 24/7; if i'm sick or not, with make-up, or not! come as you are~
so, as i was talking out loud and scrubbing my scalp, hehehehe, i said, "lord, this is a 'place' for me to share my thoughts, my ideas, my heart, my soul, sometimes intimate vulnerable places for me, songs, family pictures, friends/relationships, times with you, papa... i love sharing, and connecting; reading and seeing other friends/people share and connect and live, laugh and love!! ;-) that's my favorite part, lord.. just good ol' fashioned encouragement, and joy, and at times, crying with someone else, trying a new fabulous recipe/yum!!!, 'hearing' a heart, relating with a women in a 'going through', learning something new and different, remembering the past, living in the present and hoping for the future, reading about your hand, papa.... it humbles me, it lifts me, makes me smile, makes me want to reach out, reach in, fill up more with you, and be apart of your creation...
thank you, lord, for the blogworld! ha! bless the sharers and the ones that are in need today, and please allow your people, the fruit of YOUR spirit to go forth in them, to be multiplied in the readers, the listeners, the ones wanting to blog/to share and perhaps be healed, or begin the journey of your truth, today! for this is the day YOU have made! you designed it just for us, god.. your 'blog' is beautiful!! i love you.. "
yep.. it was a longer shower than usual, and i was cleansed in a really cool way, and that is all for now~ here's 2 links to 2 of jill phillips' songs, 'a lot like me'. really great tune, and i love the lyric. http://jillphillips.com/albums/good-things-2008/10/lot-me and 'nobody's got it all together' http://jillphillips.com/albums/nobody039s-got-it-all-together-2006/1/nobodys-got-it-all-together (thanks, jill!)

Oh Lisette...this was so wonderful! Thank you so much! I LOVED reading it and seeing your beautiful family! I really, really, miss "talking" to you...you are such a beautiful woman and inspiration Lisette:) I still appreciate so much the time and heart you put into "our song"...you have blessed me so much and continue to do so. Here is a HUGE internet (((HUG))). I agree with all you wrote! Those are all the reasons I would say I blog!
Love you SO much Lisette!!!! Please keep blogging!!!!
since you are on the subject of the church and what or where church may be found... thought i would write out to you a fave paragraph from f. buechner. "We watch him enter the city hoping against hope that this time maybe everybody will recognize him for who he is...the pharisees, the sanhedrin, the high priest himself. Maybe this time when he is brought before pilate with his eyes swollen shut and a broken nose, pilate will sink to his knees before him, and all through the city romans and jews, rich men and beggars, saints and thieves, old and young will embrace one another and weep. You can hardly watch him approaching jerusalem with the sun in his eyes and his bare feet latched under the colt's belly, i think, without almost believing that maybe this time what everybody knows is going to happen will somehow not have to happen and something else will happen instead. Judas will be loyal; Peter will be brave. The cross won't have to happen; and all history will be redeemed without agony; and you and i will go to chruch or wherever else we go not as stranger--afraid of each other, indifferent to each other, broken and lonely for each other and for God in countless hidden ways--and we won't need any choir to sing for us or preachers to preach for us because just being together under God will be song enough, and no Gospel proclaimed from the pulpit will be as eloquent as the Gospel we live out with each other, and nobody will be a stranger because each of us will be known and cherished by all the rest of us, and there won't be a single face among all the faces we see that won't gladden our hearts like the face of our oldest friend." (best sentence ever!) pg73 A Room Called Remember...
