Pause/

~ Lisa Brittain

Hi friends,

I want to pause a moment on this Saturday, May 26th, of Memorial Day weekend to:

  • be grateful
  • be helpful
  • be encouraging

thank you flags

Grateful ~ Thank you, son, father, father-in-law, grandfather, uncles, cousins, and friends who have graciously and tenaciously served our country through the various branches of our armed forces.  You have my appreciation.  And all the more I want to thank all of you who have sacrificed more than anyone is aware by your support of those who serve.  Thank you for your willingness to have them less of the time so they are on duty to protect our country more of the time.  I ask the Lord Jesus believing He will direct an abundant outpouring of grace, peace, comfort, love, and JOY upon you for all you have sacrificially given!Saturday Share whats your story

Helpful ~ Websites and blog sites can be confusing, can’t they?  Have you ever changed your email address and found yourself continually reminding and redirecting friends and family to use your new email address?  Have you ever had the pleasure of changing your phone number?  Yikes!  It takes time, but most of all effort and repetition to make a successful move.

So now that so many of you look for my blog posts here, I’ve moved.  My blogs – Ponders and Saturday Share, book and photos meant to encourage you to turn your eyes to Jesus are all now located at this address:

I hope you will add or move your subscription to the above website address, and I hope you might do it soon.  =)

Encouraging ~ I want to tell you that you matter.  Yes, YOU!  You matter to God because He chose to design you specifically and uniquely original.  You are His idea, and that makes you pretty special.

Your journey through this life matters.  God created you with work to do, an assignment He designed just with you in mind.  So, I know the little stuff, the menial tasks, and all the seemingly unimportant stuff you do and feel no one appreciates, God notices.  (Moms out there… caregivers amongst us… are you reading this?)  Yes, God notices and your fulfillment of the tasks He’s given you for this place in life matters to Him for eternity.  There’s a jewel awaiting your crown!

You will make it to the finish line.  It’s not time yet.  None of us knows how many more miles we have yet to run our journey home.  Maybe like me, you are currently wishing for a different scenery.  Perhaps you are tired of running through the desert.  All the browns and flat surfaces with prickly cacti, sometimes it just seems too much.  Don’t worry, this place is just a part of your journey and not the whole of your journey.  Even if you end up running through the desert all the way into Jesus’ arms, He’s worth it!

I am an avid follower of Jesus. I have been since my early twenties when I met Him personally and received dramatic healing in my body and mind. After many years of marriage and raising sons into the teen years, I was challenged to explore the duplicity of my spoken faith followed up by fearful actions. I received the challenge presented by both of my sons. They love me and so they dared to confront me with the truth. Chips off my proverbial block! I determined then {more than a decade ago} to overcome fear with faith that was more than words. In my late 40's I made a decision to leave the desert wandering behind and set out to pursue the abundant life Jesus promised His disciples. I am a tentmaker {actually a reupholsterer} by day, which helps to support the call God has on my life to serve Him in my community. I thoroughly enjoy my work. Repairing and restoring throw-away furniture is a fulfilling creative outlet. More so, my Cheer House Repair and Restore business opens the door for me to interact with my community. My passion is to walk so closely to Jesus that others want to know Him too. I love to introduce women to Him as we walk, talk, and work together hand in hand through everyday life. Nothing thrills me more than to watch someone fall so in love with Jesus through His word and conversation; learning to trust His heart and receive His great love! I have been married to my dear man for over 30 rollercoaster years. We're simply thrilled that our latter days are more joyful and purposeful than our first. Together we have two - grown young men on their own journeys. Additionally, we share our home with 3 lively rescue pups. I look forward to having you join me on this journey of faith... Bold feet, humble heart Psalm 131 ~ Lisa
