Good Morning God it’s me Lisa,

As we are headed out of town to the beautiful town of Wallace Idaho I lift up my hands in praise for this getaway. I say thank you for the reprieve that is much needed for both my husband and I.

You oh God are a God who does what we can’t often do for ourselves. You oh God know how my husband has reached his end with little to give, and gifted him Monday off as well. You know his body, and soul are weary. You know he is physically depleted, and you know I am mentally depleted. You know my diagnosis of a rare disease this week has me grateful for the knowledge, yet overwhelmed for the days ahead. Please God keep me in the moment, and not looking at tomorrow for it only steals the joy of today. As well yesterday is gone. I give you all of this for you know ALL. You have known it before it even came, and you love us so much. May we dwell in the house or you oh Lord just for this day! You always have our best at heart.

I pray for strength as I pack for this weekend retreat, and that we can be filled with the sunlight of your spirit! I pray you envelop me in your love, grace, and mercies that are new every morning. I pray I can be swaddled at the cross where all is lost. With much gratitude for this Easter weekend where the tomb was rolled away on the 3rd day, thank you! Miracles abound, and I want to stay of sound mind, body, and spirit! For you oh Lord are the way, truth, and life!

Thank you Lord for the this gift of yet another day to live in your will, and surrender All!! I surrender ALL!!

Amen!

On this particular day

On this particular day I decided I feel like writing about my most recent “big life change”. It has been two long years for me(with my breast cancer journey), and after MANY resumes I landed a wonderful job.

God did for me what I could not do for myself. I was getting many computer auto generated, thank you for your application but we will not be moving forward with you at this time. For the life of me I could not figure out why. All jobs I was more than qualified for. All jobs I was more than capable of doing, and doing well.

One day an email came back personalized with sincerely, and a name attached. So I felt God leading me to call this company, and ask what I was doing wrong or how I could change my game to have my resume considered. This gentleman said he had never had anyone ever do this. He was intrigued. I was invited in that day to interview with him, and two other’s from the Human Resources Department. I was amped, and felt God was moving mountains.

As we walked out after the interview he said it was a pleasure, and he would call me on Monday. Well he did indeed call me, and said I was in the running. He needed three professional references, and if they checked out I would not be called in for a second interview like he originally intended. He said they hoped to have this buttoned up by Wednesday. He was very clear that I would know either way. Wednesday came, and went with no word.

In the interim I just kept praying as well I kept submitting other resumes. I did email him to thank him for the opportunity to interview, as well again on that Thursday to see where they were at in the deciding process. Silence all day, it was some what maddening.

Later that day after four, as my husband was turning the key to our door my phone rang. It was him, and I couldn’t contain my excitement. He was calling to offer me the job, and emailed me my offer letter. So God was moving mountains. God stepped in at a time where I was feeling so lost, and I needed to know why nothing was coming through. My guess was I have been out of work for three years. At 48 years old next month having the title of receptionist at a corporate office, of a very large company here is not to shabby. As well Monday through Friday is just awesome! My body is still tired, and it will take some getting used to. My brain though couldn’t handle much more of this being at home day in and day out business. My brain doesn’t do well when it is idle. As well I will be contributing again.

So on this particular day I wanted to share what God did for me. There is so much hope in my life today, and all by the grace of God. If you’re ever stuck, I am sharing this as proof of a God who does indeed move mountains. He is faithful when we go to Him, and cry out to Him in prayer. He hears our cries, and He is a loving God. So I say with much gratitude, Praise God for my new job. I will praise Him in the morning, and all day through. For my God always has my best, I start my new job Monday the 17th! Wohoo 🥳

What are the chances

Featured ~ Lisa M. Boyd ~ 4 Comments

What are chances even in the midst of a storm you can see the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow that still has yet to be revealed

What are the chances on a clearly cruddy day you can still lift your hands in praise with an attitude of gratitude because your heart Jesus can heal

What are the chances as the pandemic gets worse, and we are still wearing our masks you can muster a smile underneath for the gift of life you breathe. Being still knowing He is God

What are the chances as the fear of our nation grows and feeds off its sheep you can know Biden may be President but Jesus Christ is King

What are the chances I know for me I will not be under their lock and key. For Jesus my savior holds the world in His hands. Faith over Fear, what are the chances this is how you are living your life. You too can be set free

Have no fear Jesus is near, and He hears the cries of His people. Chances are He already knows how this story ends…amen!

“You’ve never gone too far that God can’t redeem you, restore you, forgive you, and give you a second chance”.

What are the chances He’s given given you already more than one. I know He has me

I’ll take my chances with my Savior and keep looking up, because He has picked me back up time and time again. Chances are He already knows how my story ends…

Everyone needs a hero

~ Lisa M. Boyd ~ 10 Comments

The bright orange wand pressed upon her lips…

The tingle of the soap swabs the tip of her tongue, as she blows softly wishing for as many bubbles as she can get

Each dip, and blow she tastes the slight lather on her breath knowing it’s all part of the fun. There is so much fun to be had in that bottle she holds giggling to herself

Different sizes, different shapes of circles, warped with vibrant colors. The contrast of the rainbow as the sun hits them just as they evaporate in their silly little way. Drifts, drifts, each one popping with glee

She whispers “stay, play with me a little while longer”. Shes blowing now with all my her might. Shes trying so hard to make more than a few bubbles appear in her sight

Dipping, scraping the wand as if it were like magic in her childlike delight. Giggling again as some of the shapes seem to be that in nothing she has ever seen. Dinosaurs, pirates…her mind goes wild with imaginary playmates. Sadly they don’t stay long enough to play, try all she might

It’s all about imagination here, and in her bubbles can’t you see it?? It’s the Bat-insignia, maybe she’s in need of a hero in her play day. A Marvel super hero who showed up in plain sight. She sees it too now. Her eyes wet welled up with great anticipation. Someone, and not just any someone showed in save of her play date. Each bubble bat waves reared its light so bright, her excitement she could barley contain

A hero, her Hero, Batman!!! Right in plain sight, and it wasn’t even in the dark of the night

“Batman” she says, “can you come out and play”? What a day, oh what a day!! All in that of a bubble, and innocent ways. Batman came to save her day, as she was fast ending the bottle of her bubbles. She had someone, and not just any someone a hero had come to play…Batman saved the day
