My heart crys out to God to keep him safe, My mind at night goes 90 miles an hour wondering what I can do to change him, keep him safe. Redirect his heart to the God he gave it to 4 yrs ago. <br />
I text him and call him trying not to preach to him, but to just let him know I love him and I'm here for him. (I get THE- I love you too, I'm fine Momma) in response..<br />
I have to realize as his Momma and as much as I LOVE him and I want to keep him safe. Theres one who LOVES him more . Sweet Jesus..<br />
I now that God hears my prayers for my son. So I TRUST him. God I lay it all at your feet. May your will be done in my little boys life.<br />
I love what Isaiah 55:11 says : "So shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth; It shall not return to Me void, but it shall accomplish what I please, and it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it."<br />
So I will continue to be one praying Momma..<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2581392051897864067-5255005917002966623?l=lisablevinsfamily.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Lisa Blevinshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09072443802758141167noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2581392051897864067.post-46440268196940123712011-09-18T19:34:00.001-07:002011-09-18T19:34:17.335-07:00Father's Love LetterMy Child,<br />

<br />
But a big Faith is a Faith that risks! So many people today want to just live in their comfort zone. But that’s not where Faith works. Faith works where there’s the possibility of failure. So when it comes to building your Faith, don’t be afraid to step out of your comfort zone and trust God the entire way!<br />
<br />
FAITH WORKS OUTSIDE OF OUR COMFORT ZONE. SO DON’T BE AFRAID TO MOVE AWAY FROM THE USUAL AND ATTEMPT GREAT THINGS FOR GOD!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2581392051897864067-4950927303028374512?l=lisablevinsfamily.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Lisa Blevinshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09072443802758141167noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2581392051897864067.post-26801072879671339012011-07-20T16:14:00.000-07:002011-07-20T16:14:05.474-07:00Dear JesusI LOVE YOU !!!!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2581392051897864067-2680107287967133901?l=lisablevinsfamily.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Lisa Blevinshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09072443802758141167noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2581392051897864067.post-75936165468575402122011-07-19T17:34:00.000-07:002011-07-19T17:35:08.853-07:00What else do we really need ?The Lord is as close as He could possibly be <br />

A neighbor of mine ask me the night before if there was anyway I could shoot her grandmothers pics the next morning . I was like, sure!!<br />
I am extremely crazy busy right now, but really felt in my heart I needed to do these pics :)<br />
So , I rode with my neighbor Leah to her house this morning, and on our way, Grandmother -72 yrs old name Helga-( I love her name ::)) from Germany calls and tells Leah, she's not sure she can go through with it. She was scared to death. She hadn't had her picture taken in 30 yrs. But knew she really needed to do it because all of her family from Germany she hadnt seen in 30 yrs were so sad not to see any pictures of her !!! <br />
Leah reassured her it would be ok. So we drove on to her house. We walk in and I can tell she was just soo nervous. So I just start telling her how pretty she looks and that we will have fun . SO we head outside looking for some backgrounds and started shooting. After a little while of encouraging and loving on this sweet Lady. She was ready to just have fun with it..<br />
And before I knew it she changed 7 times and we had a blast..<br />
Before the shoot was over Our conversation turned to talking about Jesus :) It was the most beautiful thing in the world. She stood still , stared at me right in the eyes and with a soft voice said. You are soo kind ! I said, well thank you. She said no really, you are a Good person. She told me she was soo scared for some reason to take pictures, but felt like God knew who to send to her :)<br />
It was such a beautiful conversation.. And I give God all the Glory !!<br />
I am by far a Good person. But I strive sweet Jesus to be more like you . <br />
Fill me Lord. So much that It just covers my whole face and that when I do meet a stranger. I just Have to talk about you and share your Love !!<br />
Thank you for being with me today. Thank you for Helga reminding me how we are to be to all people. I am soo glad her family will get to see pics of her now :)<br />
She is a beautiful Lady. More than that. She loves you God !!. <br />
I am just soo thankful for that :)<br />

Protect their hearts Lord. And especially their minds..<br />
Keep them safe..<br />
Cover them with your feathers Oh Lord, and under your Wings may they find Refuge...<br />
And let them know that BECAUSE you LOVE them, You will RESCUE them, and PROTECT them, for they know your NAME.......<br />

</div><br />
Sitting here just wondering WHY all of a sudden , A dogs bark sounds so Foreign to me ..<br />
We lost our best friend yesterday. Honestly we lost our sweet girl.<br />
Tessie , Our Border Collie of 8 yrs was ran over this weekend while we went out of town..<br />
It still such a blur, rushing her to the vet with all the hope in the world, Then the sad look on 2 of the vet techs asking us to come back into the room, I felt my lip start to quiver as she pointed out all 7 breaks in her pelvis...<br />
We left Sat to have christmas with the kids. When we got home Sunday I realized Tessie was not Home.<br />
She was ALWAYS by the house!!!<br />
Blake told me I shouldn't worry to much we would look for her in the morning.<br />
Well, I was up early and looked all over town, Called Both counties Humane Societies,, With no Luck.. I went to bed that night with a sickening feeling in my stomache.<br />
Up early the next day, I was determined to find her. I printed up Flyers and hung them all over.<br />
6 hours Later my phone rang and a lady was told that the same description of dog was hit by a car Mon morning and that the dog could not get up...<br />
So I rushed down where they told me the dog was hit & sure enough it was her.<br />
Instantly, I yelled for Blake to go to her, And I ran back to the car weeping..<br />
I heard Blake yelling for me , so I went running.<br />
Tessie was alive..<br />
We loaded her in the car and rushed her in....<br />
No...... Tessie did not make it.. But this story may tell you a little bit of how special & loving she was...<br />
She stayed alive suffering in that condition in a Ditch laying in a mud puddle for 30 hours or more...<br />
So she could tell us Bye....<br />
I truely BELIEVE that..<br />
When we got Tessie , She was 8 weeks old. At 9 weeks, Coyotes attacked her on the ranch.. The vet told me she would not make it... Huhhhhh..<br />
She had 3 broke ribs, Hundreds of staples and a paralyzed back leg...<br />
After 6 weeks on a heating pad in my kitchen floor.<br />
GOOD AS NEW...<br />
She filled the next 8 yrs of our lives with tons of great stories..<br />
I love the memories I will always have of her...<br />
I just MISS her soooo Much...<br />
Please Lord, PLEASE TELL ME she will be waiting for me when I get to heaven..<br />
And I thank you for all the time I had with her...<br />
I love you Momma!!!!!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2581392051897864067-882092488654875125?l=lisablevinsfamily.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Lisa Blevinshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09072443802758141167noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2581392051897864067.post-41505216660747171432009-11-22T12:52:00.001-08:002009-11-22T12:52:52.247-08:00Ladies of the Cowboy Church 2009 at OneTrueMedia.comVideo I made for the Holiday Dinner..Ladies of the Cowboy Church Of Ennis.. 2009

So what is Gentleness?<br />
Here are a few things it is not...<br />
Gentleness is not weakness or Cowardice.<br />
Gentleness is not passiveness or inactivity....<br />
<br />
Gentleness is Strength..<br />
All examples of gentleness in the Bible are strong and in control, not weak & out of control...<br />
"Gentleness is Strength, but its strength under control-it's restrained strength..<br />
Gentleness is all about care and concern for others, especially the weak & vulnerable.. It's about putting your own agenda on hold & considering the comfort of the other person...<br />
God is powerful, but in his power he cares for people, especially the weak...<br />
The Old Testament is full of examples where God treats people gently, Not necessarily as they deserve..<br />
He restrains his power & anger by merciful patience,moving people to reform their ways....<br />
Oh God how I love your Gentleness. Thank you for loving me...<br />
I pray:<br />
That the beauty of your Gentleness will be seen in my face...<br />
The tone of your Gentleness will be seen in my speech...<br />
The Gentleness of your tread, will be seen in my footsteps..<br />
And the Gentleness of you touch 'Oh Lord will be seen in my hands....<br />
Your most precious Son Jesus Christ, I ask these things....<br />
<br />
"Quietly trust yourself to Christ your Lord, and if anybody asks why you believe as you do, be ready to tell him, and DO IT in a Gentle way"..<br />
1Peter 3:15<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2581392051897864067-6964454921823179133?l=lisablevinsfamily.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Lisa Blevinshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09072443802758141167noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2581392051897864067.post-26696125229444240462009-10-15T12:04:00.000-07:002009-10-15T12:04:51.808-07:00"Keep me Still 'Oh Lord"When we are still. We can discover face to face intimacy with God...<br />
And until we learn to come before him in Quietness of Spirit,Mind, & body.."WE CANNOT"..<br />
Psalm 62:1<br />
"My soul waits in silence for God only"<br />
Intimacy with God begins with a quiet heart... STOP and know he is God...<br />
Snuggle against his heart... Awwww that feels so good....<br />
Listen as he speaks through his word, by the spirit...<br />
Stillness is necessary to hear God's voice....<br />
The greatest blessing connected with stillness is that we hear eternity as the Greater One speaks to our conscience...<br />
I pray...<br />
Lord, I have a noisy heart... help me be STILL..<br />
You once spoke peace to the wind and the waves...<br />
Speak your stillness over my heart..<br />
I Praise you Lord... For I know Praise is like a garment.. We can make a choice to put it on as we do our clothing...<br />
And the constant wearing of a Garment of Praise will ward off what comes during a season of Pain:<br />
Discouragement. Dispair, & Depression...<br />
I love you sooo much Lord...<br />
Thank you for all the Blessings you give..<br />
I am just soo thankful.....<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2581392051897864067-2669612522944424046?l=lisablevinsfamily.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Lisa Blevinshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09072443802758141167noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2581392051897864067.post-24191220425235202332009-10-04T15:47:00.000-07:002009-10-04T15:47:51.290-07:00Get on your face!!!Two weeks ago we had our Church Ladies Retreat..<br />
Last year we went to the Holiday Inn.. <br />
I wasn't for sure where we were going this year, all except we were suppose to bring our walking shoes and our own blankets...<br />
I thought, what in the world are we going to be doing..<br />
SOO, let me tell you.. I found true intimacy with my God.. I learned what it was like when Mrs. Carol says get on your face before your God..<br />
I felt so much peace.. We spent the night in Athens Texas at Deciples Crossing.. A Beautiful place. I loved watching my sisters in christ pray, laugh, & cry together. It was amazing..<br />
I am soo thankful for each and every one of them..<br />
And I am soo honored to have found an incredible woman as Carol Howard to show me & teach me How Great my God is...<br />
Lord, I thank you for me being able to see this beautiful place, And hear the words from Carol..Lord, you have done so much for me & you keep on blessing me. Help me start EACH day with a clear mind So I can hear from YOU.<br />
Continue to use me to do Your will. Continue to bless me that I may bless others..<br />
Keep me uplifted that I may have encouraging words for others. <br />
I pray for those who don't know You intimately..<br />
I thank you that I believe that God changes people & God changes things...<br />
I love you Lord. <br />
I love just getting on my face before YOU ..<br />

</div><br />
<div style="text-align: center;"> Just sitting here this morning thinking about my three boys. And wondering where has the time GONE????<br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I just got a call from my oldest boy Stetson.. He flew to Alabama on a business trip..It's funny, I found myself getting up this morning to watch his flight on flight tracker...lol And when he called me at 11:00. he laughed when I said, You weren't suppose to land until 11:16..<br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I think back at that little boy who was sooo shy. Scared to sleep in the bed by himself, Hating when mom put him on video camera, and even as he was into his teens. Having mom order his food...<br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Now in this last year, he has gotten his own place, Became the manager at his job, Gotten married, Flew to Hawaii and now up for a Promotion..<br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Stetson has grown into a man. A young Man who loves the Lord, A man who loves His Life & His Family...<br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">There are so many days I wish I could go back and hold him in my lap like the little boy he was.<br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">But , I do look forward to the day he and his new wife London start a family of their own.<br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Nana... I can just hear it now... I can't WAIT!!!!<br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Lord, I am sooo thankful for Stetson & London.<br />
</div><br />
<br />

<div style="text-align: left;"> Derek Tyler<br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">I miss you soo much.. I miss all the days you absolutely drove me nuts making those truck noises... NON stop shall I add..lol<br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">I remember vividly you singing Jesus loves me when you were just one year old. I remember how you loved watermelon & that you ate so much you would get a belly ache. When we would tell you that youv'e had enough, you would get sooo upset. I remember you being about 5 getting into the truck and putting it into gear and running into the fence... & The day you ran mud all up in the tail pipe of Blake's new Dodge at age 3...The days we were called form school when you were in kindergearden, because you called 911 and told the police officer the school was on fire...lol<br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">Then the day I dreaded most came. the day you told me how much you wanted to live with your dad...<br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">You were 12. And at first There was no way that was going to happen. Then I realized. He is your daddy. He loves you the same as I do..<br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">And you absolutely worshipped him. I believe you are an actual clone..lol<br />

</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; text-align: left;">Poor thing. He has always been referred to as Mommas boy.. Of course thats ok with me...::))))<br />
</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; text-align: left;">I remember the day they pulled him out of my belly. He looked like a little monkey..lol<br />
</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; text-align: left;">He was sooo hairy. And his poor little nose was scrunched up.<br />
</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; text-align: left;">When I visualize Colton as a little boy. I see this adorable dark skinned boy with a chili bowl hair cut. I kept it cut like that.. It was sooo cute. Now at the age of 15. you can't mention that hair style to him..lol<br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">Colton was the hardest baby to break from the bottle. I defenitely knew it was time to throw it away the night he woke Blake from sleep and told him. "Put sumpin in it"....<br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">We've moved quiet a bit in the last 8 years. I know it was hard on Colton. But he was always a trooper...<br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">Today we are settled. He has the best group of friends at church...<br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">I am soo proud of him.<br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">We have decided to home school him this year... It is a christian based cirriculum..<br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">We all love it. I love nothing more than my son getting into the word of God evryday..<br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">Colt, I am proud of you. You can be a Momma's boy forever.lol<br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">I look forward to turning the next chapter in our lives..<br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">Derek & Colt will one day be married..<br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">I will have grandbabies..<br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">That all just blows my mind...<br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">Thank you God for giving me these children..<br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">It has truely been a gift beyond my dreams!!!!!<br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">I just pray Lord that you give me the Wisdom to teach your Guidance. Teach me to show them True Love...<br />
</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; text-align: left;">May they continue to follow the path you have layed before them, And if they get off track Father. I ask that you just scoop them up and put them back on track..<br />

</div><div align="left"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;"> I recently have read the book "Created to be his Help Meet"... It has truely changed my whole outlook on my marriage. & What my purpose on earth is... AS A MARRIED WOMAN..All these years I had no idea, but I have been doing it wrong the whole time...No wonder I couldn't change my husband, The way I THOUGHT he should be..It's because GOD made him EXACTLY how he was suppose to be... Did I think I was more powerful than my God... silly silly girl... By steping out of Gods way, And stop trying to do it my way. I can only imagine the beauty in my marriage...Things I have learned :" For the man is not of the woman: but the woman of the man. Neither was the man created for the woman: but the woman FOR the man" Cor.11:8-9I have learned that my joy comes from my obedience.. Doing what God called me to do...Even if my husband isn't perfect, I submit to honor God... When Blake says something I think is hateful, or if I feel like he should be doing this or that...I know NOW to remember that EVERYTHING I do is for Jesus... Everything..There is just soooo much I want to tell you about what I learned. It's amazing..Please get this book. It will change your life.. Remember,You serve CHRIST by serving your husband, whether your husband deserves it or not.....Blake, I love you sooo much. I want to be your perfect help meet that God called me to be..I might fall short sometimes, But I promise to do my very very BEST!!!!!With all my love LISA<br />

I had a dream that my dad came to visit me... What an awesome feeling that was...
But then, I woke Blake and myself up screaming & crying.As they were leaving their plane craashed right before my eyes....
I have wondered all morning.. Asking God why I would have this dream.. As most of you do not know.. I haven't seen my dad in almost 12 years.. I actually don't even know him..
But I do love him and forgive him for all years past.. I am at peace with it...
I think way down I still long for that father daughter relationship...
AND thats when I remember Gods promise to me..
He tells me in Lamentations 3:24 that HE IS MY PORTION...
He fills me up EVERYWHERE that I am empty...
So I know when I fill empty or lost.. I know all I have to do is go to his word and he will fill me up...
I love you Lord, I love that you are who I call DADDY, I love that your word comforts me when there are times I don't understand, And I love that God the Father always keeps his promise..
"My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart
and my PORTION forever"

It finally got here!!!
I could hardly wait for this day..
Alot of you don't know.. So I wanted to share this story...
London' Mom(Sissy) & I were very best friends growing up... We were inseperable...
I was either at her house or she was at mine. we were cheerleaders together. Went on vacations together. We stayed up all night together sometimes making our own dance routines.. We were really close..SKIP A FEW YEARS>>>LOL
I got pregnant and had Stetson when I was 17.. Sissy & London's dad would come and take me for walks and helped me out in any way..
Sissy was actually one of the first to hold stetson as a baby..
After that. Sissy married Jason and they moved off..
SKIP A FEW YEARS...LOL
I remember this 4 1/2 years like it was yesterday..
Stetson came in and asked me did I know Sissy had moved back..
He had seen her and the family at church where he visited with his Dad..
Well. ALl Stetson could talk about was how beautiful London was...
AND GUESS WHAT HAPPENED?????LOL
They have been together ever since...
God you amaze me.... Me getting pregnant with Stetson at such a very young age was tuned around for your glory. You knew all along you were giving me a blessing called a son...You knew you were making London's Forever mate...You knew Sissy and I and our family were going to stay family forever..
Thank you Lord for all your blessings!!!. Even in the hard times, We trust and know that all is for your purpose & Your Glory..
Stetson & london.. I LOVE YOU BOTH SO MUCH!!!!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2581392051897864067-7190184323530490132?l=lisablevinsfamily.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Lisa Blevinshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09072443802758141167noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2581392051897864067.post-19149927053927485292009-08-04T18:08:00.001-07:002009-08-04T18:39:44.343-07:00VBS<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_GBzV23Pr-9w/SnjhISN7I5I/AAAAAAAAACI/VSrLz_fN7Aw/s1600-h/xcvbxb.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_GBzV23Pr-9w/SnjhISN7I5I/AAAAAAAAACI/VSrLz_fN7Aw/s800/xcvbxb.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5366286488457388946" /></a>

Vacation Bible School was so much fun this year.
The kids are awesome, Friends are great..
BUT CAROL SUE'S cooking is the BOMB.
