Music


How do you feel about music 🎶?

For me it's about taking a journey. Music allows my soul to take flight and soar to unimaginable heights. A song 🎵 can move me forward with joy, or back to a time long forgotten. It can bring about such feelings of nostalgia or fill my heart ❤️ with longing for a loved one who's passed away. 

I love to sing, when I'm working, cleaning, driving, anytime at all I love to sing and often find it's mixed with a little dancing💃. 

However, there was a time when music held no joy for me. During one of the worst times in my life I completely stopped singing. The radio would be on as I was driving, but my heart hurt so deeply that I didn't hear music only noise. I had no joy within me and as a result no music could get through. Those months were very dark indeed. Have you ever found yourself in such a dark place of despair? 

I was finally able to find my way through, it took a lot of healing and God's guidance and grace to see me through, but one day I was driving 🚗 and suddenly realized I was singing 🎶. It felt so wonderful to be singing again! 

Now I work diligently on myself so that no matter what I don't lose that part of me. When I get down I'll turn on music and let it fill my soul. It doesn't make life all better, but it reminds me that I can get through anything as long as I feel the music 🎶.

    I Love This Post ! I have gone through the same thing. I still sometimes catch myself turning off the radio when I drive because it sounds like noise which is sad because I love music ! I felt like the only person to experience these feelings and although I feel awful you went through this it does help knowing I’m not alone. Keep singing 🎶 and dancing 💃 ! God Bless You 🙏🌹🙌

10 Years

A lot can happen in a short period of time, but wow at what can transpire in a decade. So let me take you back for a moment to August 7, 2013.  On that day I had been in a place of depression and heartbreak over the ending of my marriage.  I had moved back to Missouri from Oklahoma and was simply trying to survive emotionally one moment at a time.  August 7th dawned very bright and sunny and my family (my parents, my brother, sister-in-law, and both my nieces) had chosen to make a point of spending that day with me.  You see that was the day my divorce was to be final.  I was going back to being Lisa Freeland.  I know longer even knew who Lisa Freeland was nor did I have any clue what my future held, because all my hopes and dreams had come to a crashing destructive end.  Little did I know that all that destruction was only the beginning to becoming the woman God had created me to be! Since that moment I have had some pretty major setbacks ...

Sticks and Stones

"Sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me." Odds are you heard this and probably even said this as a child. It was our way of being tough and standing up for ourselves. However, the truth is words can be more damaging than sticks and stones. Words cut so deeply and the effects last far longer than physical evidence. Sadly, kind words spoken to or about us are easily brushed aside but the negative words, they cut deep, they last, and they rarely miss their mark. When those damaging words are said within a relationship that's very unhealthy. People consider that an abusive relationship only happens when someone becomes violent, but the truth is verbal, psychological, and emotional abuse are just as damaging. Using words to attack someone often makes them feel small and insignificant, causing them to become more and more withdrawn and isolated. They will start to internalize bad events and situations and actually start to believe they ...

Storms

Have you ever considered how the storms of our lives are often very similar to the storms of nature?  They come with winds and rain, sometimes feeling almost evil when they include driving rain, and leave behind damage and debris.   The past couple of weeks I have been going through a very strong personal storm.  There would be small windows of calm and then the storms would start again, and I was getting slammed in every direction.  I found myself fighting to breathe and struggling to stand in the wake of all the storms coming at me.  To say my determination and resolve wavered would be an understatement.  I felt as if I had nothing left to offer, reaching a very low place last Thursday.   Then Friday dawned NEW AND BRIGHT! Still I had a few minor storm come at me, but this time it was different because I remembered where my help comes from and who can calm not only the storms of nature, but my personal storms.   What a...
