Saying Good-Bye to 2008

The time has come to walk through the gate

Saying Good-bye to 2008

As I reach back to close it behind

I take a moment to rehash in my mind

All of the things both good and bad

Lots of memories happy and sad

For only a moment the time stands still

As I think of my life wanting only God's will

Another year passes me by

Lord I am getting older I cry
He tells me yes, daughter you are

Older, yet wiser

You have traveled so far

It is true Lord I have looked back

Over my life this year

Feeling with more certainty

My ministry more clear

And now as I close the gate

No longer looking back at 2008

I look forward to All that will be defined

In this new year of 2009

Note: I am looking forward to the New Year expecting God's will to manifest in my life ..

Happy New Year .. to All

Isaiah 40:31

But they that wait upon the LORD

shall renew their strength;

they shall mount up with wings as eagles;

they shall run, and not be weary;

and they shall walk, and not faint.

Blankets of Healing

I give to you this blanket

It is a special kind
It is brought to you

With love and prayer
Stitched with you in mind

With each stitch of thread
I thought of you in bed
So I made for you this blanket
With the pillowslip for your head

I prayed that God would cover you
And that you would feel His love
As Angels watch over you
From Heaven up above

I pray that God’s love
Would cover you
And bring with it His healing
I felt so much love for you I could not shake this feeling

Knowing this little blanket
Would bring you so much joy
Whether a little girl or a boy

I thought this special blanket
Would be better than a toy

It holds within its threads
Prayers and blessing
For your bed

Mark 5:21-43

Note: Written for Gwen Johnson .. and her sisters who stitched blankets for children in the hospital.. I wrote these words .. to accompany these special blanket blessings.. We printed them on brite smiley face paper and rolled and tied then with britely colored ribbon .. for their delivery ..We pray that they meet the face of smiling children ..and bless the hearts of their parents and caregivers.

Your Little Ones

Love those little freckles..

And the sparkles in his eyes

He is speaking in truths

And not telling any lies

Thinking deep within

About the trouble he gets in

Wondering how it finds him(lol)

Wish I new this little one..

Called Braden .. who is your son

Oh what fun!

I miss not knowing your little ones!
Early Inspirations..lol

Love you LisaMe!

Note: Written while reading my friend Briana's blog .. she had a picture of her son .. I got tickeled by his freckles and the twinkle in his eyes .. lol

Frankincense, Gold & Myrrh

Were the gifts brought
For Jesus’ birth
I bring them to be a gift to you
May you always remember
The birth of our Savior
And the sacrifice others made
To bring Him gifts

And His special gift He gave to us
Eternal life, paid with the price
Of
 His own life
John 3:16

Merry Christmas
Your sister friend

Merry Christmas Lady Eagles

Our Lady Eagle’s Beautiful Tree
Merry Christmas
12/2008
From: LisaMe!

As I was sitting thinking about how much all of you ladies mean to me
I could see you All on a Beautiful Tree
I saw Valerie all in Green
Keeping our tree free of grass and singing to a upper class
And then there was Jenny Martin
Sitting in her pink and blue
Listening with her eyes on all of you
Ms Evelyn you are new
I can’t wait to see what the Lord has for you
He is cooking up something rare
Taking His time in you to prepare
Lena was there; so gifted is she
I could see her fingerprints all over our tree
Painting our blossoms with colors so true
With colors of red, purple and did you see that patch of blue
Ms Lillie was there
Showing how much she cares
For each and every one of you
And even though her words are few
She has beautiful thoughts with colors of Gold
With spiritual stories deep in her soul
And where would we all be
Without our sister Vicky D
She was sitting in the middle of our tree
Her branches reaching out in every direction
Praying for all of us: for God’s protection
And I saw Ms Gerry praying in the center of our tree
Praying for you and praying for me
Praying for all of our families
And next to her
Ms Joyce was praying in a heavenly language
And then I heard Ms Harriet sing
Songs so sweet
It lifted me higher and higher into our tree
Touching each one of the leaves
With Hallelujah’s to our king,
Our tree is so filled with love
So many angels collected on our tree
Reminding God of you and me
Rosa, Agnes, and Jenny
We miss you when you are not there
We love to hear you when you share
We’re lifting you up to God in prayer
I could see Gwen stitching her quilts
Sewing the love that the Lord has built
Deep within the leaves of our tree
Ms Mary was helping with her reds and her greens
Adding in talents so gifted is she
Our gifts being honored by the Kings of all Kings
More of you I began to see
Regina,
Ms Betty, Ms Lucy, and Ms Picou,
We have been praying for all of you
Arminda we have missed you and Vanessa too
And where would we be without our Pier Part crew
Stronger and stronger our tree grew
I could feel God’s Grace Abounding over me and you
Ashley you have gifted our tree
With talents unknown we are waiting to see
What the Lord has for you and for me
Your presence of love flows evenly
Pouring itself over our tree
Things Felt deeply by more than just me
God’s healing we are waiting to see
Jackie is crafty even if some say she is tacky
She has added so much joy to our tree
Adding glitter and glue
And a heart that is true
Where would our tree be without you
Diane was way up high
She had wings like a butterfly
But looking back with second glances
I saw it was with angels that she dances
Praising God is what I saw the leaves of our tree do
Bringing healing to me and to you
Pauline was there like a fragrant flower
Passing through the leaves
With healing in her porcelain cup
Filling us all up with a word from the Lord
Diana was there in her regal way
She shared with us
She had much to say
Shellie surprised us with the colors She wore
She is Christ’s child whom we all adore
Ashley and Brittany were in our tree
Sitting and singing .. a lovely melody
Tiffany and Kim joined right in
Dancing and shaking the leaves and the limbs
Praising God is what we come here to do
Such joy has spilled over from out of our tree
His Glory is all around you and me
We are decorated with His love
With beauty and grace that flows from your faces
It is His light that we want to shine
So when He returns none will be left behind
So as I sit and look upon our beautiful tree

I see precious gifts
God has given pieces of each of you to me
I pray the world will see
How God has made our Beautiful tree
I write these words in love
Your sister in Christ LisaMe!

Note: This was written for my Tuesday Ladies Church group .. to share at our Christmas Party You all mean so much to me .. it is evident as seen in our tree .. We are a fun bunch of ladies ..

As I wait on God expectantly

I feel I am about to give birth

But
The nursery
Is not ready yet.

I have all the paint picked out

Sitting on the floor

Wallpaper to be hung 

But
I can not stand on a ladder 

The crib still waiting
In its box
To be assembled

So many things to do

And
All I can do
Is look into the door

Waiting
For
Help to arrive

I am prepared

I cried

I have washed and folded
All
The baby things

Neatly

Touching them
Over and Over
Each Day 

Waiting
Expectantly
For the day 

I know it will come 

But
For now

I feel
Like such
A lonely
Expectant one
(I laugh Out Loud to myself .. Understanding What the Lord is speaking to LisaMe)
He loves me
And
Is
So Loving
To LisaMe
He births
At
Just the
Right
Time

Note: I am not physically pregnant .. but am in my spirit..
I wrote this while responding to my Mary Diane sister friend ...
Waiting to give birth to the Vision within me ...

Psalm 62:5 My soul, wait only upon God and silently submit to Him; for my hope and expectation are from Him.


Note:My book was published 9-2009 .. Now waiting for the rest to come to pass ..

Note: 12/14/2010 Today the Logo for the new season ~ the new mission ~ Bridge Mix is being made ..God's vision for the ministry being birthed right in front of me... I stand in Awe... watching this thing take shape and being born .. a ministry bigger than I could have dreamed possible .. all I can say is God you have allowed time for me to be prepared .. and have even brought many people with which to connect and to share it with .. I never lost the hope of one day .. it would come .. while continuing to write and prepare .. being a longly expectant one .. just knowing one day ... this day would come ... I love you... your daughter,  LisaMe!

Tears for Today

How to express the words that we feel
When emotions are raw and feelings so real
How do we prepare for what is to come
We fight to hold back the tears that must run
Afraid to let fears of grief overtake us

It is a natural release
Along with it will come much peace
As you all gather together
With memories to share
Of this life that was lived

Memories
Some good and some bad
Some happy and some sad
The one thing.. that you all can agree

His life was lived
With the love of the Lord
And so we know he now has his final reward
Hand in hand with his Shepard his King
Can you hear the angels sing

We will miss his soul
But his spirit lives on
So cry today so tomorrow you can sing
Remembering his memory will be a happy thing

It is not good-bye

But until we meet again

Note: Written for my friend Vicky D... her father passed away yesterday.. I wanted to write something for her.. I wanted to bring comfort to her heart.. but the emotions were just to new.. She sent me a photo .. of a fireangel.. I will see what I can do.. Lord it is my desire to Honor you .. in all that I say and do ...

When Mercy meets Grace

When thinking of You

All I see

Is God’s Grace

Abounding over thee

I feel your Grace Abound

It is in the echo of the sound

It is His love that will set you free

To be the woman of God

You were made to be

Reach past the hurt

That has had you bound

As you lay all your burdens down

It is His love in me

That I give this word to thee

I am his child – LisaMe!

I feel your Grace abound

When in my life I have found

When Mercy meets Grace

Note: 2008...Today while at our ladies cell meeting.. during Praise and Worship .. I got this word for my sister and friend Ashley .. God loves you so much.. it is our healing that He desires .. Receive His Mercy and His Grace..

Psalm 68:1-3 

"Let God arise. Let His enemies be scattered. 

Let those also who hate Him flee before Him; 

as smoke is driven away, so drive them away. 

As wax melts before the fire, so let the wicked perish 

at the presence of God. But let the righteous be glad." 

Note:
Written to one of my Cafemom friends.. in response to a poem written ..
encouraging women to Arise Prayer is a powerful thing ..

The Rarest of All Gifts

Majestic is the word

The Lord has given me

You came
To my remembrance

From a distant memory

He showed me of your beauty

Yes so delicate and rare

Hidden
Deeply
Down
Within

Beneath
Your skin and hair

He showed me of His favor

That He has
Concerning you

In things that
He has planned

That only you can do

So do not be afraid

For what He plans
Will come

These are things
That have been promised

Just like the returning of His Son

You have been
So very faithful

He is absolutely pleased

And
When the time does come

It will happen
With such ease

Royal is your color; Purple is the hue

One thing God can count on,
Is you always will be true

And
For you my dear, dear sister

Perfect are the facets
That have been chosen for your crown

For when God desired a willing heart

It was you that He has found

Continuing
Walking as
A Woman of God

God sees your heart

You are so very
Special to Him

May all His blessings
Rest upon you

Because one day soon ALL of your dreams will come true

Note:10/18/2014 Even today .. I find myself wanting to bless others .. I have been blessing friends.. on Facebook.. with the gift of flowers.. because Sherry Smith a girl from High School that I did not know well .. put flowers on my wall .. one of the pay it forward .. kind of post .. so for each person that likes your post.. you pick a flower and post it on their wall .. I love these type of challenges.. because it allows me to write an encouraging word .. to go along with the flowers .. I have saved the words.. in word document .. for future reference .. because it blesses me to be a blessing .. We can Never out Give God .. True encouragement never dies.. but continues to live and breathe .. Amen I strive to be an encouragement and inspiration to and from the Lord ..

 Note: 12/11/2010 Day 31 in my heart devotion God's Heart Your Destiny .. this reminded me.. not only of my gift of encouragement .. but the gift that I see in others.. as we look at our own hearts.. we need to see them through the eyes of Jesus... This way we see.. what He sees.. the gift perfected ...  rare and beautiful .. maybe not always ready enough to share .. but just like the diamond in the rough .. that is how I see myself .. I know I have gifts.. many that God has given me.. and through the years .. looking back I can see how He is perfecting them :) Oh How I love Jesus.. and what He is doing in and through me ..LisaMe!

Note: This is where this began .. Written summer of 2007 while staying at Tiffin's... for her friend Anita .. whom I had only met in passing years before.. I gave her a gift of purple earring's..learning from Tiffin that purple was her favorite color ...
to go with the poem..

His Gift ~ The Best Gift of All

The best gift of all

you can't find it in a Mall

or under any tree

And most importantly of all

it is absolutely free

It was rare and yet so perfect

Well thought out and planned

In the form of a small baby

who grew to be a man

Fore told of by the prophets

His day was sure to come

to cleanse the world and

set us free from all that we had done

His life was sent to save us and in the end it did

you ask me how could this be so

He died so we could live

He gave us life eternally upon a cruel cross
And even when all hope was gone
we were not left for loss

The message was so very clear

right from the very start

this child who grew to be a Man

He had the purest heart

People came from everywhere just to hear Him talk

His stories were so wonderful

for miles and miles they'd walk

Crowds had gathered all through towns

on hillsides and on shores

with every message that he gave

they always wanted more

Along with His fine speaking

something else had happened too

The lame could walk, the blind could see,

the sick became well too

Even some who though were dead

were raised for us to see

that nothing is impossible for those who just believe

Believe in what you just might ask

as this story continues on

Who is this Son this special child

And where was he born

The angels told the night he came
He is the Son of God

He came to free the world from sin

And peace on earth to bring

Angels sang and shouted
"Glory to Our King"

shepherds came, wise men too

Bearing special gifts to see

The Son the angels said was laying in a manager

This tiny little baby

was not in a pretty bed

Nor did he have lace blankets

wrapped about his head

He was lying in a manager

just as the angels said

His crib was just a trough with hay

that lay beneath his head

Now this is how the story goes

there is so much more that's true

this is just a little of the gift

as told from me to you

You to can have this special gift

Just close your eyes in prayer

Ask the Lord into your heart
to wash away your cares

This special little baby that grew to be a man ..

You see his name is Jesus Christ

He died so that all may understand

Eternal life was his perfect plan
Love LisaMe!
My Prayer
Would
Be
That You would
Bow your head
With me
And
Accept
Jesus As you Personal Savior

This Year Accept Jesus As Your Lord and Savior

Don't

Wait

Another

Year

You

May

Not

Live Another Year

Note: This poem was written by LisaMe in 1999
The Lord gave it to me while preparing for a Children Church Message
As Everything that comes to me .. it was written and shared ..
I share it with whom ever will listen

Psalms 115 .. All Honor and Glory to Him alone ..
 John 3:16 For God so loved the World
that he gave his only begotten Son,  that whosoever believes in Him shall not perish but have everlasting life.

John 3:17 For God did not send His Son
to condemn the world, but that the world  through Him might be saved.

Reading the bible helps teach us Bible Truths
Matthew 1:18-25
Luke 2:1-20

 We have all done, thought or said bad things, which the Bible calls "sin." The Bible says, "All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God" in Romans 3:23 You can't earn salvation;

The result of sin is death, spiritual separation from God Romans 6:23
The good news?

Jesus died in our place so we could have a relationship with God and be with Him forever. "God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us" Romans 5:8 But it didn't end with His death on the cross. He rose again and still lives! "Christ died for our sins. ... He was buried. ... He was raised on the third day, according to the Scriptures" 1 Corinthians 15:3-4 Jesus is the only way to God. Jesus said, "I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father, but through Me" John 14:6

You are saved by God's grace when we have faith in His Son, Jesus Christ.
All you have to do is believe you are a sinner, that Jesus Christ died for your sins, and ask His forgiveness. Then turn from your sins-that's called repentance. Jesus Christ knows you and loves you. What matters to Him is the attitude of your heart, your honesty.
My Prayer
Would be that
You
Would bow
Your heart
In prayer with
LisaMe!

Will you pray the following Prayer to accept Christ as your Savior:

Dear Lord Jesus,
I know I am a sinner,
and I ask for your forgiveness.
 I believe you died for my sins and rose from the dead.
I trust and follow you as my Lord and Savior. 

Guide my life and help me to do your will.
In your Jesus name, Amen.

Life is a Journey Not a Race We must all Travel at our own Pace." 

 I am so excited for you ..

Psalm 119:105

Your word is a lamp to my feet And a light to my path.

Matthew 22:37

Intertwined

Oh how this life of mine
Is so intertwined
With my word and my rhymes

I love the things I’ve said
The words so trapped within my head

That at times
I get up out of bed

The moment I write them down
I began to hear the sound

Of it forming in my mind
That’s when my world is Intertwined

With its rhythms and its rhymes
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
Oh how this life of mine
Is intertwined
At times

The words get trapped within my head
As I am laying in my bed
Speaking softly in my mind
With its rhythms and its rhymes
That’s when my world is Intertwined

As It’s forming in my head
I get myself up out of bed
Speedily I write them down
Hearing how the words do sound

Oh How I love the things I’ve heard it say
I wouldn’t have it any Other way

Note: One of my favorite scriptures

.. A tree Intertwined ..

Revelations 22:2 In the middle of its street, and on either side of the river, was the tree of life, which bore twelve fruits, each tree yeilding its fruit every month. The leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations.

Am I a Word Weaver



Stitching and sewing
Would be just fine
If I knew how and had the time

Funny how it is said…
That I use words instead of thread ..

I love the thoughts that come to me
It frees my soul and sets me free

Yes.. this is just LisaMe!

Note to self:
Am I a Word Weaver
.. I love the sound..
I love what I think it represents..
Some have said I am a psalmists ..
I did not feel worthy of the name..
 I have called it poetry because I did not know what else to call it
 .. but Word Weaver ..
I think
.. represents me ..
 and the words that I share
.. piercing though the air
with encouragement, thoughts and prayers ...

Thank You Mary Diane
 .. you are a Blessing
 .. You ..
have encouraged me ...
My sister friend Mary Diane .. went on to be with the Lord .. Oh how I miss her
