• Hi, I'm Lisa-mommy to my boys, David, 8 and Matty, 6 and wife to Steve. In between school and work we spend our time playing outdoors on the central coast of CA, eating chocolate chip pancakes, tapping tunes on the piano (David) and choreographing elaborate lightsaber duels (Matty). I create handmade jewelry and love taking pictures. Stick around and get to know us!

Strength for today…

and bright hope for tomorrow.
What if David gets really sick? Who will Matty be when he is grown? Will we ever pay off our school debt? Am I the mom I should be? When worry creeps in I am reminded that the Lord meets my every need. The journey is painful, but there is so much joy. This is where I live.

    i didn’t mean for that to sound flippant. i know for some that the journey is more painful than for others. i, too am sorry there is pain in the journey, but am thankful that our Lord meets our every need, just like you said.

    This is lovely. I think we are all plagued by doubts and concerns but the one thing I know is that He is there, He knows us, and His hand is in our lives. It always will be. That’s what I hold onto.

    My friend & I were talking and she said something that has stuck with me: when I am afraid, it’s hard to have hope. But when fear is in the background, hope can come. And with hope I can experience joy and love and contentedness, even amidst a painful journey.

    The necklace is beautiful!

    Thanks for the reminder that we are not alone in our fears. I’m feeling so much of the same tonight.

    I love that verse and song. His eye is on the sparrow and I know He watches me.

    Thank you for being transparent. Joy can be found in the journey knowing we are not alone.

    so pretty.

  14. Penn Family on December 4th, 2007 9:55 pm

    This is precious! I am so thankful that I serve a mighty God who truly cares about me and those around me. Sure…I don’t understand everything & why certain things have happened…but I know His eye is on the sparrow!

    oh my, oh my…I really love this sweet little gem. Well done and well said!

  16. Laura on December 4th, 2007 10:51 pm

    That’s how I feel daily about not knowing what would hold my younger son’s with “Autism” future. But I kept going with a faith, just like you do daily with your children.

  17. Jen on December 4th, 2007 11:05 pm

    Thank you for the good reminder. Your blog is so uplifting. Thank you!

  18. Becky on December 4th, 2007 11:51 pm

    This is beautiful and what a reminder as we live each day, wherever we each are in life. Thank you for sharing yours.

    It’s hard not to let worries creep in - sometimes they even ’stomp’ in. I try to replace my worries with little prayers if I can.
    Love the necklace - reminds me of a little song my Dad used to sing to me.
    Sending you positive, peaceful thoughts!
