Hey Friends, Readers, Y’all…I’m from Georgia so we’ll go with y’all! Hey Y’all! Okay, so here is the hard part about writing for me, writing about myself. Isn’t it funny how one little thing can unveil so many insecurities?? First things first, I know who I am and why I am here! I am Lisa and I am here to glorify God. I am also a wife and a mommy to four sweet kiddos, and we are a military family. I have been on this earth (now closer to forty years than thirty…that’s scary) and oh how rich the years have been! I have grown to love wife life and mommyhood more than I ever thought I would. The Lord has deeply blessed my family and me, but life is never just lollipops and rainbows.
When my husband and I were first married, nobody expressed to me how hard navigating life with another human would be, let alone adding four more little humans and a military career to the mix!! I have been to hell and back with that man, in the trenches, hard moments for sure. Along the way, I’ve realized the value in giving myself margins (in areas of time, health, self-care, etc) and I have found some incredible joy in talking about and encouraging others in this area.
I’ve revamped the saying “fill your cup first so you can pour into others”, as wives, mothers, sisters, daughters, how about starting with just having a cup and what that looks like! God has graciously given us all so much. Life, for me, is viewed with an eternal perspective. Moving past and outside of myself, I want to do nothing more than glorify Him! The content I share may seem surface, but please know and understand my heart and where I am coming from. Faith first, always! Keeping the little daily logistical things (how a house runs, looks…what you wear after having a baby, I could go on) in check by being proactive is what I love sharing about. I am so thankful you are here and I hope this blesses you!
Lisa
