ABOUT LISA MARIE
You know, as I was thinking about what to write here because by age 65 there are a lot of directions my story could take. Each one of them actually more interesting, more bold, often more funny, than the next. And I decided that much of those storylines will be woven into future stories on this beautiful app.
So I decided to start with my own walk.
When my friend Bev asked for support, that just maybe “church would help me” as she struggled with personal issues that are her own story, I said "sign me up!". I will be your #WingmanforChrist.
And literally, it was then after we went to a couple of services, that I realized I had been very lazy with my relationship with Jesus. I had been assumptive that I was saved. I had been convinced that I was a good person and doing what I needed to do to go to heaven and see the Kingdom.
And on our third time at a service I literally heard God's Voice:
WALK WITH HER.
So literally through Bev's struggle and invitation to Walk with Her, did I find my own salvation. As recently as the spring of 2021, did I begin to come alive. I had friends that had never given up on me to find Christ. And of course, God, He has never given up and never would.
This is all a story I will write separately, but about Lisa Marie: I am on fire for Jesus. I am on fire for the word. I am not at all interested in washed-out, popularized self-help sermons.
I spent years in alternative “spirituality”. I was very good at everything from shamanic drumming, meditation, and crystals to activating the my chakras. Yes, I went from energetic training and retreat to the next.
Each time told that I have a gift. Each time told "there's something about you".
I know me some self-help. Satan does not care What you study. What you say. What you believe: As long as it is not Jesus Christ.
But no one dare uttered that the Holy Spirit is upon you until I got back to Christianity. Until I got back home. And even beyond Christianity - until I really got back to Jesus.
So, about Lisa Marie, and what I will share enthusiastically, and openly, and with the fire in my belly is that even though I'm new to the Bible reading, and new to the scripture, it touches me every day. Although I cannot quote chapter and verse, I cannot get enough of the Word of God. And a deeper understanding. And finding teachers along the way that I may gain deeper and deeper insight.
That is the intent of Walk with Her: to share from an innocent and authentic and Holy Spirit inspired storytelling, and to reach everyone that is trying to walk with someone.
To my old friends, who trust me and respect me and love me, there is a welcoming if not an understanding about my full-on embrace with Jesus Christ. And I am grateful for friends that are interested in me and this change in me to wonder what it may be about.
And I always start with the same sentence:
Jesus - it's just not what you think
