Wisdom is essential for life, love and a faithful journey. It is not knowledge. Wisdom is not a competitive striving to be right.
Wisdom is humility. Seeking the truth of God’s goodness and understanding that He is sovereign over all that has ever been created.
Wisdom is a searching for the heart of God.
Searching the heart of God requires proximity. Intention. Slowing down. Getting quiet. Waiting before Him.
Wisdom is available for us, from God, and all we have to do is ask believing He will say yes. With a child’s heart, expectantly we ask for wisdom. And with a mature posture of patience we wait to receive His gift.
Wisdom is found in searching for the heart of God. Searching, not by human ingenuity, but by simply bowing before the source of all wisdom. By asking for God’s help, His way, in His time, and with His words.
Wisdom is a slow brew, and well worth the investment of time, intention, and process.
“If you need wisdom, ask our generous God, and he will give it to you. He will not rebuke you for asking. But when you ask him, be sure that your faith is in God alone. Do not waver, for a person with divided loyalty is as unsettled as a wave of the sea that is blown and tossed by the wind.”
James 1:5-6 NLT

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

Lisa, this is such a good word. This >> “Wisdom is found in searching for the heart of God. Searching, not by human ingenuity, but by simply bowing before the source of all wisdom. By asking for God’s help, His way, in His time, and with His words.” May we bow before Him, allowing Him to guide us on the path of wisdom.
