Good Morning!
The sunrise was/is so interesting this morning, almost stealth in saying "Am I coming out this morning or not." Either way, it is beautiful outside and the temperature is perfect! I was walking the dog and listening to the birds and thinking, "This is the day that God has made and I will rejoice and be glad in it!" Happy Thursday!
Lisa's tweet: LMRMinistries: Proverbs 13:6-10 ~ What strikes me here is how important it is not to put a face on. Be real ~ play to an audience of One. Look UP, not AROUND.
I agree with Lisa in that we should be who we are and not try to appear to be someone else. Don't live behind a mask. Don't be one person when you are among a certain group and another person when you are in church for example. Be you! Be Real!
Look at verse 6 - "Righteousness guards the man of integrity." Are you a woman of integrity? I have said it before, it is not easy, but we are never alone because Jesus walks beside us and the Holy Spirit dwells within us and God is watching over us.
I recently was talking to a friend and I used the phrase that Lisa used this morning, "Sing to the audience of One!" I went on to discuss the fact that if we sing and play to the audience of One, we are being real and being who God created. We are giving our all to Him and He delights in our offerings!
Go and have a great day and remember: Look UP because HE is smiling at you!
Love and prayers,

Wednesday, May 15th - Ephesians 2:1-10
Good Wednesday Morning!
How is everyone? It has been awhile, but I have gotten things back in perspective and here we go. :) It has been an interesting season for me and lots of things happening in my life and changes, but God is faithful! I have seen His Hand in everything and I praise Him for His love and His grace! We serve an awesome God!
Lisa's tweet: LMRMinistries: Ephesians 2:1-10 ~ It's amazing how much time we spend chasing treasure that fades...and how little time pursuing the real treasure of God (vs 7).
Before Christ came into our lives, we were walking around in darkness. We were dead in our sin and continued to follow the ways of the world. Read verses 4 and 5 and think about the words: great love - us - God - rich - mercy - alive - Christ - GRACE - saved! "Because of His great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy, made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions--it is by grace you have been saved."
Wow! God loved us so much and continues to love us. It is like the most famous verse of the Bible - John 3:16. "For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life."
If you read on in the passage in Ephesians, we find that we were raised with Christ and will have eternal riches and have received grace and salvation as a gift from God. We are God's workmanship! Think about it: God loved us so much that He created us to be His sons and daughters through His Son Jesus Christ - to do good works and show others His love and share the Great Message of His love with them, so that they too can become heirs and have the hope of eternal life with Him!
Hallelujah! Praise the Lord! God is good ALL the time - ALL the time God is good!
Have a wonderful day and know that I have never stopped and will continue to pray for you! Enjoy the warmer spring weather!
Love and prayers!

Tuesday, February 5th - Proverbs 14:11; 16:5
Good evening!
Quite a day! Touched base with an old friend tonight and we talked for hours! It was fun to "catch-up" and just fellowship together. It was quite a day!
Lisa's tweet: LMRMinistries: Proverbs 14:11; 16:5 ~ That awkward moment when you were supposed to let God handle your issue with someone, but you tried to do it yourself #letitgo
God cares about what we do and how we do it! He loves us so much that He continually gives us instructions as to how to do things and what to do to please Him. He doesn't like those that are proud of heart and it says that they will be punished. In His time!
It is so hard sometimes to just let it go and let God! However, if you start with the small stuff and then begin to let Him handle everything, it is a little easier! He always has our best interest in mind and does everything to protect us and to walk beside us - through the troubled waters and tough times. It is easy to say, "Let me do it myself!" and then try and fall. Let God take it from the beginning! #letitgo
Have a good evening!

Monday, February 4th - 1 Thessalonians 5:12-28
Good evening!
I just got home not to long ago from basketball practice. My team practices from 7pm to 8pm and then my son's team practices from 8pm to 9pm. My girls played hard tonight and we had a good practice. My son's practice was cut a little short as the boys were not giving their best and the coach had to have a talk about respect. Respect for the team, for the coach, for the referees, and others. I am not sure if the boys heard it or not, but it all made me ponder some things - Do I respect my co-workers, my boss, but most of all - do I respect my Heavenly Father and my Lord and Savior?
Look at the scripture reading for today - RESPECT!
Lisa's tweet: LMRMinistries: 1 Thessalonians 5:12-28 ~ What if everyone lived out everything on this list everyday? We'd never be worrying about hurt, pain or revenge. #ReaditLiveit
Let me just list a few of the actions we are to take or live: Respect co-workers, bosses and others; Live in peace; warn the idle and encourage the timid; help the weak; be patient; don't seek revenge, but be kind; be joyful; pray; give thanks; hold onto good; avoid evil; and pray for our spiritual leaders.
Quite a list, but all doable! With the presence of the Holy Spirit in our lives helping us every step of the way, we can do this!

Sunday, February 3rd - Proverbs 12:7,13-14,19
Good Evening!
How has your SUPER weekend gone? How was your SUPER Sunday? Did you watch the SUPER Bowl? My Sunday was super! I had the privilege of singing in the choir this morning for three services; I got to hang with my family both at church and here at home; and got to spend some time in personal reflection! It has been a great day!
Lisa's tweet: LMRMinistries: Proverbs 12:7,13-14,19 ~ Careful...It's so tempting when someone has done you wrong to get sucked in and not tell the whole truth about the situation
Do these verses remind you of any other passage we have referenced in the last few months? How about James - 3:1-12 to be exact! The words and talk of the wicked trap them, but the righteous flourish. Truth endures forever and sets us free, but lies destroy.
Do you remember the story mentioned in Matthew 7:24-27 about the wise man and the foolish man? The foolish man built his house upon the sand and the wise man built his on the rock. The foolish man's house fell and the wise man's house stood firm. Look at Proverbs 12:7 - "...the house of the righteous stands firm!"
Choose God's way! It leads to victory and eternal life!
Have a great day tomorrow! I hope it is just as SUPER as today was!

Saturday, February 2nd - Psalm 94
Good Evening!
What a day! Started off at Eastview participating in Super Steps and what a start to the day. Five hours of teaching, fellowship, and witnessing several baptisms - Praises be to the God Most High!! The video that was shown at the end, tied it all together - "Here am I Lord - Send me!"
Lisa's tweet: LMRMinistries: Psalm 94 ~ You want revenge? Pray...not so much that God would "get them" for you, but that God would right the wrong that's been done.
God will avenge! It will all happen in His time! Remember that His time is not our time and He will repay them for their sins. God will right the wrong that has been done!
Did you notice verses 16-19? Those are verses of "Mission"! Who will go for Me? Who will take a stand for me against the evildoers? God will support those that stand for Him! He will bring joy to their soul!
Pray then that God would right the wrong that was done and might possibly use you to do so! Are you ready? "Here I am Lord, use me!"
Have a great evening!

Friday, February 1st - Proverbs 11:8,21
Good Evening!
Welcome to February! When I got up this morning it was 2 degrees and felt like -18 degrees! It is still cold outside, but the promise of warmer weather tomorrow, with a high of 31 degrees! I still thank God for His many blessings in my life and give Him praise!
Lisa's tweet: LMRMinistries: Proverbs 11:8,21 ~ Do you think that doing things God's way will be boring and no fun? Great lie if you'll believe it and that lie will destroy your life
The story of good and evil - the good are rescued from trouble and go free, while the evil or wicked remain in trouble and will be punished. God's way or the world's way? We have a choice!
As I look at my life and I see how incredibly blessed I have been and I am at this very moment. What a ride thus far....Please do not think that it has all been easy and I have just laughed and enjoyed every single moment because there have been many, many tough moments and things that I have had to endure. I have sinned big time and asked forgiveness and moved on. I know I have disappointed God many times, but He has always picked me up and hugged me when I have come and said I was sorry! I can honestly say that my life has not been boring!
So many say that they need to be "perfect" before they begin their walk with God, as they are too dirty. God accepts you as you are!!! I was dirty and He made me clean! We will never be perfect until that day when we go HOME and live with our Heavenly Father and Lord and Savior!
It is your choice - God's Way or the world's way? Which will it be? I have chosen God's Way and have never regretted a second. He continues to bless me beyond my wildest dreams and He disciplines me like a father does his children, but I would not change a thing. I will continue to walk with Him, serve Him and give Him all the praise until the day I go HOME!
Have a great weekend!
