Wherever people are gathered outside all day, a picnic is bound to break out.
We all have a mom, sister, or bestie who never leaves home for a whole day without packing sandwiches, granola bars, and fruit. Just in case.
And boy, aren’t we grateful when we get way out there, and the trip is taking longer than anticipated, and the back roads offer few choices for nourishment?
“This is a remote place, and it’s already getting late. Send the crowds away so they can go to the nearby farms and villages and buy something to eat.”
And that’s what happened one day as Jesus stood on a hillside speaking to at least 5,000 men, and wives plus children. So many people gathered for a whole day and no food trucks anywhere. They had to be hungry and thirsty.
I am a curious follower of Jesus. I have been since my early twenties when I met Him personally and received miraculous healing in my body and mind.
After many years of marriage and raising sons into the teen years, I received a challenge to explore the duplicity of my spoken faith followed up by my fearful living choices. It was my two sons, who loved me enough to confront me with the truth. They called out the hypocrisy of fear, and I am forever thankful.
Chips off my proverbial block! I determined then to overcome fear with faith that was more than words.
Years ago, with my eyes open to my sin of unbelief I made a decision to leave the desert wandering behind and set out to pursue the abundant life Jesus promised His disciples. God has been faithful to teach me, grow me up, and help me to let go of all the things that used to mean security to me.
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 in love with Jesus through His word; learning to trust His heart and receive His great love!
I have been married to my dear man for over 36 rollercoaster years. We're simply thrilled that our latter days are more joyful and purposeful than our first. Together we have helped to grow two young men, who are now married with their own families. God is continuing to help them write their own faith stories. Additionally, we share our home with an old rescue pup.
I look forward to having you join me here to fix our eyes on Jesus and shine with His radiance,
Lisa
