As I begin you will read all that exposed me, and made me look up! I looked up, and raised my hand up from the mire. I extended my hand, as my body was buried under shame, and self affliction. I looked to the heavens, and to my God who was stronger than I. My frailty was no longer a match for this world. I was crushed by the rock that was higher than I. The rock fell on me breaking my very being. I caught a glimpse of the beautiful sky, and God said, “Lisa I am here”. So here is where I began. A hand, the sky and a God so much bigger than I.
You will find many ways I express myself in my writing. Writing styles you will find here are Non-fiction Empathetic, muic, Inspirational, and Chatty too. I am not a photographer by any means, but I do share the ones that are allusive with my writing. I hope you enjoy my blog. I am an author, and am multi-faceted in my articulations of self.
Great post!

Thank you mine is story of a young lady whom very much loved the Lord. Grew up in the church. Married young a P.K. grew up in the church together. I idolized him. He was my life. So when He failed our vows, and kept repeating his failure with no biblical counsel. I was beside myself. So instead of grabbing my kids, and separating. I fell apart, and then fell hard. Our marriage was a mess. 21 years, and I never gave up. He is not the same as he was. I am remarried now. His own dad whom is a pastor calls his son a narricist. It is a tragic story. Still waiting on hearts to be mended. On bended knee I pray for him to come back around. I truly believe he can’t forgive himself. I hope one day he can for my kids sake. They are almost 19, and 20. God will work out all the hurt to his glory. I never in my life thought I would divorce. I married a man after God’s own heart, whom treats me like Christ loved the church (8 months now). I will never again put anyone or thing above God. It has been 4 years since I became sober, and recommited my life to Glorify God in all I do until the end. Without Him I am nothing. Just another girl. So this is when God said write. So I write!! I don’t leave anything hidden. It is story God wants told. For it is His story as I am a living testimony of grace, and Christ’s unconditional love!! Amen!! Redeemed!!

That verse is Matthew 21:44, He allowed the rock to fall on me so that I could wake from my slumber, and cry out to Him. For I knew God all to well to allow what was consuming to take hold. God had always been my refuge, fortress, and stength. Then when my heart was broken into a million pieces I would not allow God to take it. So He did what He and was needed!!
