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 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, 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.
Thank you for stopping in. I appreciate your time to read and comment with encouragement.
Lisa such good words and reminders about wisdom! In today’s culture wisdom is not held in high regard. So glad I stopped by!
