Hi all,
Just a quick request. I do not have a car at the present time and it would be nice if I could have prayer to get one..used, mid size four door ( for passengers) I am tired of having to always depend on others for a ride and they are getting tired too. As well I have been having various unusual physical problems which are probably stress related due to my job and my divorce .
Thank you for your prayers and support all.
Blessing to you, Lisa GG

just sitting here thinking on this splendiferous sunny clear fall day if....
God might just see us as wasps or yellow jackets coming to see if we can steal a little nectar from the peaches He is enjoying....
as He sits in His rocking chair on a still evening ...just before dusk... and he watches the colours and lights in the sky.
He does not brush us away from Him but.. seems to find enjoyment in us . He does not squish us with His powerful fingers but instead uses them to squeeze a little more juice for us to fill ourselves on.
He sees us as His most amazing creations breathed into by Himself with a Spirit matching His own. He may play with us sometimes but He always just wants to be with us and that we are with Him .....
We really cant see how big He is can we???
Hmmmmm.......
Peace Lisa GG

Well another Keith Green Song here from my baby Christian days.
Its amazing to me......
Do you see... do you see...???
all the people sinking down..
Dont ya care, dont ya care..
are ya gonna let them drown..??
How can you be so numb..
not to care if they come.
and you close your eyes and pretend the job's done!!
Oh! Bless me Lord! Bless me Lord!
You know, it's all I ever hear.
No one aches! No one hurts!
No one even sheds one tear!
But, He cries, He weeps, He bleeds .
And, He cares for your needs
And , you just lay back. and keep ...
soaking it in!!!
Oh! Can't you see..such SIN!!
For He brings people to your door
and you turn them away ,
as you smile.. and say..
God bless you! Be at peace!
Amd all Heaven just weeps.
Jesus came to your door.
You left Him out on the streets.
So, open up ! Open up!
And give yourself away!
You see the need. You hear the cries.
So, how can you delay??
God's calling you to come...
But, like Jonah you run..
Jesus rose from the grave.
You can't even get out of bed.!!
This breaks my heart so selfish and proud with
heavy words. I am so convicted for all the times
I didn't speak because of fear, situation and/or peer pressures.What was I thinking.??
Did I not see how the darkness was overwhelming these people.
I am broken and I cannot finish this blog....
Jesus weeps, Jesus weeps.
at such sin

This is not exciting, dramatic or flashy but for me its the greatest , most wonderful change that could have ever happened in my life. I am one of four . I am a middle . I was always painfully shy and very quiet. I never said BOO. My parents are good people and firm but loving. Our family was well off because my Dad worked as a family doctor which he loved. We were brought up in the Anglican church as my Dad's side of the family was Anglican.So we were dutifully forced to dress up and go but mostly for Easter and Christmas (of course). I started going more on my own when I got older and started finding something I liked there vaguely. I went to bible study and youth group and then did the confirmation thing of my own accord. LOL. But then I started to feel it was kind of dry for me so I left.My school and good friend invited me to her Pentecostal church. well I dont have to tell you I was hooked.It was like I struck a deep well of life that saturated my spiritual dryness and brought me back to life again . amen. My family , of course , did not understand my um.. enthusiasm and thought I was nuts.I joined the choir, did down town street witnessing, fairly inhaled my bible and just couldnt get enough of this. I even started to come out of my shell a wee bit lol. I must have been at the church at least three times a week and went on some cool youth retreats.So I just grew and grew and grew spiritually because I so lacked any real Word before. My years were a little stormy because Istarted getting stubborn but generally I was decent and didnt get into any trouble. ((((no ..not me loll))))
But the next big change was when I got baptized when I was 15 or so. I remember what happened. Well I asked my family to come and see it but..they didnt. I was sad. I was sooo nervous I was shivering and shaking so bad. I felt really heavy and thought that I should just not do this and run away. Even then, as a young believer I knew this was something besides me.I knew that the devil didnt want me to do this because I would be way stronger in the Holy Spirit and the devil would have less power over me.. He definitely did not want that even for such a MOR as me. So, my friends knew it too and prayed hard for me.Somehow I took a deep breath and stepped out in faith and in front of all those watching this TRANSFORMATION . wow. and the minute i went under that water something came to life in me changing me eternally and empowering me very deeply. amen.
Geez,, I thought I would just shoot out of the water like a rocketship into outer space . LOL LOL.
i was jumping around like a mexican jumping bean and praising God so loud. lol
yep .. lil meek,mousy, shy me.. lol
So. my hunger for the Word just grew and grew....Yeah and I did back slide more than once but He always wooed me back to His side. Im so very thankful for all He has done, all the people who taught,encouraged and role-modelled for me all through this. I am thankful for all those that prayed when I turned away from His grace.I am thankful mostly that God never gave up on me and always called me back as the Good Shepherd who went after His wanderin g little sheep. He made me more than I thought I could ever be and made me believe completely and implicitly in a Big God that broke the barriers of my limited mind.Woww. How He lovesme.. How He loves you. How He loves us all so much He died for us.. woww . How Great is that!!! No better offer could we have..
So if you think you have no where to go but down, if you dont have a direction, or Peace, or Joy... if life is dragging you down and out. Cry out to Jesus now and He will raise you up out of the Pit and set your feet on the Solid Rock of Himself now and always..
Just trust Him He will bear you up and always be there for you.
peace, Lisa GG

Sexual Sins........ etc. etc.....

Do I have your attention now... thought so.
anyways , when I pray God has been speaking to me to confess some sexual sins I have had for quite a long time. I have had these before I started coming to BC oh.. i think over five years ago and probably more. I am still legally married but our marriage has fallen apart in pretty much all areas. We do not hate and despise each other but.. we just dont talk . I started going out on dates to meet other men because I was so desperately lonely and quickly jumped into sexual sin of my own accord. No one pushed me. I entered in to this freely as an adult. I did this with many men but of course all were short lived. After too many times of repetition I found myself at the same point as when I started and found that God started convicting me and I did not like this.It made me hurt inside and squirm when I prayed, went to church , or read the Bible. Now.. I am so thankful that God did convict me often.I would not be where I am now. These sexual sins did not satisfy me anymore so I just gave it up altogether. Wow, i felt so much lighter then. God continued to convict me still more after because I still had some backward glances to this sinful land. He shows me He LOVES so very much and He will satisfy the emptiness in me fully . He tells me I dont need anyone or anything else...just Him..just Him.I still have niggling doubts that there is greener grass just over the next hill. It is sometimes a daily or hourly battle to be strong against this. The enemy is deceitful above all things and often tries to tempt and draw me back to this.I regret the dishonour and pain I caused Him by these many sins but He is still leading me on and growing me stronger in Him. amen. I felt I needed to be straight up about my behaviours as I had been pretending so long that i was so moving on with God but hide all this. God was aware of the sins I was hiding and was not happy that I shamed Him so .There is nothing more wonderful and blessing and healing than His Holy , restorative Love. He is the Counsellor that we all need to become whole in all areas

Hey again. Just putting down my thoughts and trying to piece em together. I am so thankful that Someone brought me into the Light for the very first time. Yes, even as a christian I was constantly stumbling in the pitch dark , bumping into things, tripping and falling, so close to the edge . But God never let me go too far beyond His grasp. I thought I was walking in the Light but I never thought to turn the switch on. I always thought that I could ...just maybe achieve perfection and completion on my own. Well, a false hope from the father of lies who is so full of himself of course... too. But now , God is freeing me from my self-sufficiency to only only trust implicitly in Him even when I cannot see the whole picture. In humility and hope on Him God raise d me up and gave me a bigger, clearer view of where I am headed. He tells me to never look back at where I was only on up ahead where I am headed with Him as my Guide and Protector. I need not fear the darkness anymore because His Light is so blazing, so bright , so full of energy I could not miss it . I do not want to walk in the darkness anymore alone, lost , despairing and frightened of what I cannot see. I am so very very grateful for all Eternity of what He has and is doing for and in me I just want to share it , live it, eat and breathe it for my only sustenance. I know that He will provide for my every need , small and large, and no matter what storms come, no matter who mocks me, no matter what I may lose He will never lose sight of me.
For that I am eternally grateful.
JOY JOY JOY ALWAYS

Just been thinking on this subject lately. I guess that it can be very very easy to be a super "spiritual" person. Always volunteering to read the bible for sunday service, helping with the sunday school, always taking the front pew for service, having loud and long prayers in public, and yes occasionally making a comment about....those poor sinners around the corner. It seems to me that this kind of behaviour is lacking in the most important ingredient of being a Believer, a follower of the Way... LOVE LOVE LOVE. It's not a new story but still needs to be refreshed every once in awhile because if we are not very careful and watchful this navel-gazing attitude will eventually take us out of the equation . We will no longer be useful to Jesus as a servant. When we feed on Love from reading the Bible and apply it to our lives change can and will begin and after awhile the LOVE will flow out of us.. because we are finally filled with it. So this is when we can really start to effect REAL change in this tired, falling apart world. People will be changed, delivered, set free, encouraged, lifted up, healed, protected, set free from prisons seen and unseen, taught and brought together in true unity. So, when this happens there is no force great enough to stop it. No Evil to ominous, no political or ideological group able to contain it.
Let's let it flowww to the ends of the Earth.
If I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but do not have love, I have become a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal.
And if I have the gifts of prophecy, and know all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing.
And if I give all my possessions to feed the poor, and if I deliver my body to be burned , but do not have love, it profits me nothing.
Love is patient, love is kind, and is not jealous, love does not brag and is not arrogant,
does not act unbecomingly, it does not seek its own, is not provoked, does not take into account a wrong suffered.
does not rejoice in unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth,
bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things,
Love never fails, but if there are gifts of prophecy, they will be done awy, if there are tongues, they will cease, if there is knowledge, it will be done away.
For we know in part , and we prophesy in part,
but when the Perfect comes, the partial will be done away.
First Corinthians Chapter 13 verses 1-10

This is Keith Green Song that I always get convicted on. I bought alot of His albums just after I first got saved.
It's called... Jesus commands us to Go!!
Jesus commands us to go!
But we go the other way.
So , He carries the burden alone.
While His are busy at play.
Feeling so called to stay.
Oh how God grieves, and believes
That the world can't be saved.
Unless the ones He's appointed obey
His command and His stand
For the World that He Loved more than Life.
Oh He died! And He cries out tonight...
God has been convicting me on this daily .The burden gets heavier and heavier til I just can't stand it anymore. And I fall...
I pray and cry and cry and cry til my heart breaks again. He shows me that this super blessed Country Canada I call home has replace God as Majestic over all for a ...can I even whisper it. a Golden Idol. We are so busy scrambling over top of each other for the Almighty dollar we have lost sense of what is True, HOnourable, Holy and Merciful. What have we done???What have we done?? God is coming swiftly with a terrible judgement on the nations that idolize their wealth and possessions and power.Where will we, as Christian, stand when push comes to shove. It's past time for these wealthy nations to get on their knees, repent and let it loose to God and put Him back in His rightful place on the Throne. Nothing has changed in the hearts and minds of men in over 2000 years.Will we come back to Him repentant or will we keep following after darkness to the loss of our collective souls??
God convicts me so heavily on this more and more. Let us bow and take consideration of this .
Amen.Amen.

Just a thought or two here. Just why exactly are the big , wealthy governments competing to plant their flag first on Mars as a possible viable environment for Life???(and i use that term very loosely)
For crying out loud the planet is dead as a door nail last time i saw...... but maybe a few topiary trees some strip malls and an amusement park or two will do the trick... I just wonder what kind of madness is going thru the the top heads of the military and government on these projects. Billions and billions of dollars spent for what??? Please if anyone has an answer I would like to know. Last time I checked we are currently all living on a viable planet .Actually the only one we know of yet....HMMM???? So maybe, this is a crrrrazy thought.. just maybe we should be putting forth the effort to sustain and maintain this planet for us and for future generations. Let's try and be gentler on this old blue ball we call Home. If we work together it will be better and let's pray to God to ask Him to show us how to do it and how to work together instead of fighting with each other for the largest piece of the Pie. In the end... I think we all want the same basic things don't we. It's fairly simple i surmise that if we can't work together on this...its.. umm.GAME OVER.........

God made us stewards over this planetEarth. With God all things are possible..lets do this for our .. amen
Lets drop the greed.. it doesnt go well
