I am thankful today for the gift that God has given me to speak His words of Truth in love.

I have to be honest and admit that I have struggled to do this for the past eight months. God gave me this gift and affirmed it in me and called me to write this Blog over 10 years ago! But on Mother’s Day of this year, it became really difficult for me to decide what to write.

It was Mother’s Day, and God blessed me with the most amazing mother! She had me when she was only 19 years old! She loved me unconditionally and always made me feel cherished and special! To this day, all of the traditions I do with my own children, and grandchildren were taught to me by her!

I would’ve loved to give her a tribute on Mother’s Day, she is so worthy of it! But every time I started to write the words, the tears poured as the reality of her severe Alzheimer’s and her being on hospice, and given only a few months to live, set in and took over my emotions. I paused that week and didn’t write and figured I’d write the following week, however she was still here and it still didn’t seem fitting.

Week after week went by and then month after month and she lost more and more weight and grew tinier and tinier, but God still had her here on this earth!

Eight months have gone by and God still has not taken her home to be with Him yet. It is still overwhelmingly difficult to think of life here on this earth without her! Even though I want her whole and healed and perfect in the arms of Jesus. But as I read Psalm 100, 

I could hear Jesus reminding me to Give Him thanks even when it is hard!

“Make a joyful noise to the Lord all the Earth! Serve the Lord with gladness, come into his presence with singing! Know that the Lord, he is God! It is he who made us and we are his, we are his people and the sheep of his pasture. Enter his gates with Thanksgiving and his courts with praise! Give thanks to him, bless his name! For the Lord is good. His steadfast love endures forever, and his faithfulness to all generations.” Psalm 100

My heart breaks at the reality of saying goodbye to my Mom here on earth. But it is filled overflowing with thanks for the gift of her and the blessings, too many to count, that she gave to me!

God is faithful and His steadfast love endures forever! I thank Him and praise Him for that most of all!

He is faithful to all generations!

The photo with the letters from my grandkids fell out of my Bible today as I was reading Psalm 100!

My mom’s first grandchild was my daughter Christina! They shared a very special bond and she was blessed by my mom and her unconditional love and special traditions which she passed down to her daughter, Cami! These were notes and pictures she gave to me when she was just a little girl! She is 13 now and my mom‘s traditions are starting to live through her as well! She bakes my mom‘s cookies with me and she decorates like my mom did and she loves so big like my mom!

God truly is faithful to all generations, and I have so much to be thankful for!

More than anything, I am thankful to God for his faithfulness, and never giving up on me! By gently and beautifully reminding me to thank Him even when it is hard! His goodness and his mercy endure to all generations!

I love my mom with all my heart, and I am so thankful that God gave her to me!
For as many days as God has for her on this earth, I will thank God for her and cherish her! The best news of all is that because we both know Jesus, we will be together forever in heaven with him!

I am thankful to God for all of you! My prayer for you this Thanksgiving is that you will know God and His Son whom He sent because He loves you more than anything! And that you will be able to give thanks to Him for his faithfulness to all generations, forever and ever!

Happy Day of Giving Thanks!

“THE LORD REIGNS FOREVER, YOUR GOD, O ZION, FOR ALL GENERATIONS, PRAISE THE LORD!”  PSALM 146:10

The words of this Psalm, put into song, rang throughout the fifth region in Chile from five dedicated voices, that couldn’t carry a tune in a paper bag! 

My fiancé was one of those voices, I was another, my soon brother-in-law to be,  was another, and two of our very best friends were numbers four and five!

We were on a two month long summer internship as missionary wannabes!

It was truly one of the best times of our lives!

We returned stateside and Jim and I were married only one month later! That was the summer of 1984!

We wrote our own marriage vows, and in them repeated these words to each other and to everyone in attendance, but mostly we spoke them to our God!

“Knowing that we are better together then apart for God and His purposes, we dedicate our lives to God First, to each other next, and to raising up a godly generation!”

James Swaney and Lisa Dye-Swaney 

We meant those words with all of our hearts! In our 41 years of dedicating our marriage to God, and to raising up a godly heritage in His  name, we have succeeded, and we have failed! But the faithfulness of our God has never failed!

“Great is the Lord and most worthy of praise; His greatness no one can fathom. One generation commends your works to another, they tell of your mighty acts.” Psalm 145:3&4

“Your faithfulness continues through all generations; established the earth, and it endures.” Psalm 119:90

“We will not hide them from their descendants, we will tell the next generation the praise worthy deeds of The Lord, His power, and the wonders He has done.” Psalm 78:4

God‘s faithfulness has been demonstrated through our daughter and son-in-law as they accepted God’s call to serve Him with their whole lives as lead pastor at Crossroads Christian Church.

This Sunday we were eyewitness to God’s continued faithfulness as our son and daughter-in-law accepted His call to be lead pastor at Bayside Church Orange County!

The words of Psalm 100:5 ran through my heart and head as I witnessed my son accepting His call to God and His church through the power of His Son Jesus Christ!

“For the Lord is good and His Love endures forever; His faithfulness continues through all generations!” Psalm 100:5

As I sat in my son’s church on Sunday and listened to Him speak powerful words of God’s Truth about “Relationships,” I was struck by the fact that the most important relationship we have is with God Himself!

After that it is with those closest to us that we have an opportunity to model a life lived for Christ Jesus!

Not a life of perfection!

Not a life of prosperity!

Not a life of anything else, but loving and living for Jesus!!!!

This is what every generation needs! Yesterday, today and tomorrow and forever and ever and ever, until Jesus returns!

I am so very proud of my son! He is deserving of all the credit for every choice he has made on his own for Jesus! It was pure joy to witness him on stage, preaching God‘s truth and accepting the call to Shepherd and love and model Jesus for God‘s people!

God is FAITHFUL my Friends to do more than we could ever dream, think or imagine!

I give Him ALL THE GLORY for His Faithfulness to me and my family! I know His faithfulness will continue to the next generation!

IN HIS NAME!

Happy Truth Bomb Tuesday Friends! I have missed you!

I woke up today knowing TODAY IS THE DAY!

I need to write My Truth Bomb! God has given me a gift and a calling and I must exercise it!

That’s right! The EXCLAINATION POINTS are back!!! Did you miss them?

I took a break from writing My Truth Bombs every week, not because I was discouraged! I didn’t take a break because I didn’t have enough followers on social media. I don’t write My Truth Bombs to gain followers!

I didn’t stop because someone told me to. 

I simply stopped because my “To Do List” had gotten too long.

So, I thought I would take a break and chip away at reducing my “To Do List.”

Long pause…

The more I chipped away at it, the longer it seemed to get! And I woke up this morning, all these months later, and 

I FEEL LIKE I ‘M GETTING LOST IN THE LONG LIST OF “TO DO’S!”

As I rolled out of bed and put my feet on the ground and spoke these practiced words to God, 

“This is the day that you have made, I will rejoice and be glad in it,”

He said to me ,

TODAY IS THE DAY!

WRITE YOUR BLOG!

Have you ever felt like life is a battle? You forge ahead and feel like you have gained a bit ground, just to find yourself not far from where you started.

You get back up again just to get  knocked down. You find that all the ground you seemed to have gained, is lost?

And you ask yourself…

What is this battle I’m in anyway?

What am I fighting so hard for? 

Is it worth it?

I think that Gideon felt exactly like this!

In the book of Judges chapter six we find Gideon hiding.

His “To Do List”

had gotten too big big for him and his “Get Er Done” gumption had got up and went!

Gideon was hiding! Hiding from God!!! He was scared, tired, hopeless and done!

Then God speaks to him through an angel! 

God doesn’t tell him that he’s blowing it!

God doesn’t tell him to get up and get on with it!

God doesn’t say he failed!

God tells him he is a WARRIOR!!!!

Instead of condemning him and making him feel worse than he already feels, God reminds him of the greatest truth of all.

We are not how we feel! We are not even how we act! We are who God tells us we are!

Gideon is a warrior because God has made him a warrior! Gideon does not have the ability on his own strength to be a warrior, but through God and his strength in Gideon, Gideon is a warrior! He can accomplish all of the “TO DO’S” that God has given him to accomplish!

His ability to “Get Er Done,” is not found in his own gumption, but in the strength of the Lord, his God and who God has called him to be!

God has put a call on my life, and I cannot accomplish that call in my own strength! I can only accomplish that call through my obedience and willingness to allow God to make me who he has called me to be!

God has called me to SPEAK HIS TRUTH IN LOVE!

If God is first in my life, then He needs to be at the top of my list! 

God has called me to read His word, pray, and listen to Him and to write and speak His Truth In Love!

I’m going to keep chipping away at my list, no matter how long it gets! 

I’m going to trust God for my “Get Er Done Gumption”when my to do list gets the best of me! 

GOD COMES FIRST! I’m going to fight to keep Him at the top of my list! I’m going to live my life believing and knowing that I am who God says I am!

I AM A DAUGHTER OF THE KING OF KINGS AND IN HIM I CAN DO ALL THINGS!

CHRIST IS RISEN, HE IS RISEN INDEED!

As I heard myself repeat this familiar phrase over and over and over again this Resurrection Sunday, I was impacted with its profound TRUTH!

Jesus appeared to His disciples after He had risen from the dead. In His resurrected, eternal body, the body that was broken for my salvation, He showed them His nail pierced hands, the hands that were pierced for my salvation! He ate with them, walked with them and spoke His final words to them, before He ascended into Heaven to return to His Father! 

“Then the two from Emmaus told their story of how Jesus had appeared to them as they were walking along the road, and how they had recognized him as he was breaking the bread. And just as they were telling about it, Jesus himself was suddenly standing there among them. ‘Peace be with you,’ he said.”

Luke 24:35-36

These powerful words were for His disciples then and for His disciples now! 

They are for me, and they are for you, and they are for every follower of Jesus from now until He returns!

“Therefore, go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the father and the son and the holy Spirit. And teach them to obey all the things I have commanded you. And I will be with you always, even to the end of the age.“ 

Matthew 28:19–20.

As I spoke those powerful words on Resurrection Sunday I realized that they are to be followed by sharing “The Greatest Story Ever Told!”

TRUTH BOMB

CHRIST HAS RISEN INDEED SO GO TELL THE WORLD ABOUT IT!

Speak Truth Love

Today my focus began with Jesus on the cross. God quickly turned my eyes to the two criminals hanging beside Him, one on His left, and one on His right! One full of pride and the other pierced with humility!

One, so full of pride and selfishness, that he was blinded from seeing that hanging right beside him was the son of God.

The other, full of humility that allowed him to see past his horrific circumstances to view the Savior of the world, God‘s one and only son, hanging right beside him!

One, so full of pride and selfish ambition that he can’t see past himself as he cries out,

“One of the criminals began to shout insults at Jesus: ‘Aren’t you the Christ?’ Then save yourself! And save us too!’” Luke 23:39

“But the other criminal stopped him. He said, ‘You should fear God! You are getting the same punishment as he is. We are punished justly; we should die. But this man has done nothing wrong!’” Then this criminal said to Jesus, ‘Jesus, remember me when you come into your kingdom!’”

Luke 23:40-42

Jesus speaks to him,

“Then Jesus said to him, ‘Listen! What I say is true; today you will be with me in paradise!’” Luke 23:43

Two men in the same proximity to Jesus.

One on his left side and one on his right.

One looked only with his physical eyes and saw through his pride, a mere man who could help him out of his horrible circumstance.

The other looked past his physical eyesight and with spiritual vision saw the Son of the Living God!

With humility and conviction of sin he defended and proclaimed his belief.

TRUTH BOMB

TRUE HUMILITY GIVES US SPIRITUAL VISION!

Oh, God in Heaven, in this Holy Week, and beyond, may I see with spiritual vision and humility who you truly are and all you have done for me!

Happy Holy Week and Happy Easter My Friends!

No matter how you look at it, we only have TODAY!

Yesterday already happened and we are not guaranteed that tomorrow will ever come.

I was taught by my Grammie to put two feet on the floor as I was getting out of bed and say out loud,

“THIS IS THE DAY THE LORD HAS MADE, I WILL REJOICE AND BE GLAD IN IT!”

She taught me by example two very powerful truths!

First, that every day that I wake up is a gift from God!

And second, that I can make a choice to claim that day as good for God’s glory and purposes!

It is a statement of faith that sets my will in alignment with God’s will!

It is not dependent on my circumstances or anything that happens to me that day. It is a choice and a claim to live my day for JESUS!

I read something recently that reminded me of these powerful truths that my Grammie taught me. I loved the way it was put into practical and useful terms!

“There are two things we have everyday when we wake up, a chance and a choice.

Every morning we have the opportunity to decide whether we will follow where the Lord is leading us or turn the other way. Not an easy decision in many situations but making the choice to follow Him will produce incredible blessings in our life.”

God‘s Word affirms that when we choose life we will truly LIVE!

“I call heaven and earth as witnesses today against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing; therefore choose life, that both you and your descendants may live; – Deuteronomy 30:19”

Let’s try to make this our practice each and everyday!

God loves us so much, He has given us the gift of choice and free will, but it is up to us to choose Him every day and His path for us. Take some time today and ask the Lord where He is leading you. What is He asking you to do right now? There is great blessing in choosing and following Him each and every day!

CHOOSING JESUS EVERYDAY IS TRULY A CHOICE FOR LIFE!

The choice is truly yours!

Today is April Fool’s Day but I am not joking around.

We all have “GOLIATH’S” in our lives trying to get in our way and keep us from accomplishing God’s purposes!

A “GOLIATH” is a giant! It is large and looming and mean and threatening!

It’s worry that keeps us up at night and steals our precious sleep from us.

It’s fear that haunts us and tells us over and over again that we are out of control. It’s the ugly lie of an adequacy, making us feel like we’re not enough, and we never will be. It’s the question in the back of our minds that makes us doubt. We ask ourselves should we or shouldn’t we? So we don’t. We do absolutely nothing!

GOLIATH’S are bullies! They make us feel like they are in control. They make us feel like we’re too small. They make us feel that we our weak and do not lack the strength to overcome them. 

They keep us the victim and make us feel like we are not able to overcome them!

They are liars! They accuse us falsely. They are thieves! They steal, and they kill, and they destroy what God intends for good.

  When that Goliath shows up at your door, do what David did. Most people looked at how big Goliath was. But David focused on HOW MUCH BIGGER GOD WAS!

The truth is, we are not able to overcome our ”GOLIATH’s,” on our own!   David said, “I come to you in the name of the LORD of heaven’s armies, whom you have defied. Today the LORD will conquer you, and I will kill you…” 1 Samuel 17:45-46 (NLT)

Friends, let’s get our eyes off of Goliath, and fix them on our great and mighty God! Nothing is impossible for Him! With

God and His strength and His power, we are MORE THAN ABLE to overcome all the GOLIATHS in our lives!

IT’S NO JOKE, OUR GOD IS BIGGER THAN ANY GOLIATH THAT WE FACE!

“I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith!” 

2 Timothy 4:7

How do we fight the good fight?

How do we finish a difficult race?

How do we keep our faith no matter what happens to us in this life?

You make sure that you have godly people in your life, blazing the trail for you!

The term, “to blaze a trail,“ comes from the beginning of our country, being formed. The pioneers, those brave, strong and courageous individuals willing to go ahead of others where no one had been before, “blazed the trail” for others to follow!

Spiritually speaking, a trailblazer is someone who goes before another, living the life Christ has called us to live, unwaveringly! Walking the walk, not just talking the talk! Demonstrating God‘s will, and purpose for marriage, for raising godly children, for pouring in to grandchildren, for serving the lost and unloved, and for never giving up the fight for God‘s will, and purposes!

We are blessed to have been given a couple in our lives who have done just that. They have loved us, encouraged us, supported us from near or far, have prayed for us, and have set a Christlike example in every way possible!

We were blessed this week to be able to spend time with the couple that we admire spiritually the most!

To leave a godly legacy through our marriage, our children and our grandchildren, and our ministry was the commitment, genuinely made to each other when we got married.

Mark Batterson expresses legacy in the best way I’ve heard it expressed…

Legacy is not what you accomplish. It is what others accomplish through you. Discipleship is growing fruit on other people‘s trees.“ -Mark Batterson

As Jim and I strive to “grow fruit on others trees”, spiritual fruit that is, of course, we thank God for putting godly examples in our lives of spiritual trailblazers and our true spiritual mentors, Graydon and Judy Jessup!

The value and worth is found in the commitment and dedication that the mentor couple is willing to put in to the other couple. 

It is not simply teaching a class that 100 people attend and going through mentoring principles, or speaking to a multitude in a message, it is living life with the couple and speaking truth into them.

It is time sacrificed and spent, listening to them, sharing stories with them, relating experiences with them, advising them, and believing in them! This and more we have experienced and received from Graydon and Judy!

We are forever grateful to God for their commitment and investment in us! We are truly blessed beyond measure!

Their spiritual tree is literally full of good fruit! We pray that we can follow in their steps from the trail. They blazed for us and fight the fight, finish the course, and keep the faith! We pray we can do the same, just as they have!

I pray that you will be encouraged and pray and work hard to find spiritual trailblazers and mentors like we have been blessed with. God has created us for Community! He wants us to live life with others who are like-minded for him!

Spiritual Trailblazers, leave a legacy of fruit in other people’s trees!

The word “pause” in the dictionary is defined as “a temporary stop or rest, especially in speech or action.”  

As you may or may not have noticed, I took a “pause” in writing my Blog last week. Mine was a spiritual pause. I have been writing my blog for over 9 years now. During my time with God, I had asked him over 10 years ago, “How do you want me to best use my gifts?”  I clearly heard Him say, “to write and speak.”  At the time I was an administrator of a Christian elementary school, K-6th. There was no time in my schedule to write and speak. I asked God, “Did I hear you correctly?” And he said, “Yes. Write a blog.” At that time, blogs were just coming on the scene. The personalities of the blog writers at that time did not seem to fit mine at all. I went back to God again and asked, “Are you sure this is what you want me to do? I don’t even like social media.” And said clearly back to me, leaving no room for further discussion, “If there is a way to communicate my truth, then it should be used.”  

I committed then, knowing clearly beyond a doubt that God had clearly called me to use the gifts and talents he had gifted me with, to write a Blog. I never felt Him tell me to write it every week, but I felt convicted to do so. With the help of my supportive and brilliant family, I came up with two pieces for my Blog. Number one: I would write it every Tuesday morning, so it would be fresh when people are scrolling through social media. And number two, that I would have a catch in quotes! I believe that my primary gift from God is speaking His Truth in love! I decided on “Tuesday Truth Bomb” (again, total credit go to my brilliant four children, who were in the blogger age group). 

I fought hard to keep my commitment every Tuesday morning. Reminded many times by my supportive family that God had not told me specifically to do that. But I felt convicted to do that. There are many times that my Blog was not posted on Tuesday morning, but I always made sure it was posted by Tuesday at midnight. There were many times throughout these 9+ years of writing that I questioned the influence, or even the necessity of continuing to write it. But every time I felt discouraged by doubt, I knew to take it to God, and ask Him. His voice is the only one I need to listen to and follow. He continued to affirm me that He wanted me to keep writing, so I have!

But this year, through my asking and praying to Him about what to write, He has taught me at times to “take a pause.” I took a long one in the beginning of the year when he gave me the word we are about to complete today: T.H.R.I.V.E. 

As I prepared last week to write my Blog for Tuesday, I felt his Spirit profoundly telling me to PAUSE. Now believe me, pausing is not something that comes to this gal naturally! I am driven, and I tend to run full steam ahead. My life is very full right now with many wonderful things! The majority of them are wonderful answers to prayer, but it is truly a crazy busy time in my life, demanding physically, mentally, and emotionally 24/7. 

My bent is to run hard at full speed, completing and checking off everything on my to do list. If I slow down my pace, I’m not going to get it done. Pausing feels counterproductive right now. But isn’t it just like our God to get your attention using this method. I had paused once before in completing this acronym, and I was excited to come to the finish line and complete it. As I started praying over all the “E” words, and asking God which one He was pointing me to–to thrive in 2025–I started to feel Him putting on the brakes. I had several words that would have worked, but I didn’t feel God’s words of affirmation over any of them. I continued praying, and on Sunday morning, it came to me. “Lisa, take a pause.” Just slow down and rest in knowing I’ve got this. That morning begun my least favorite day of the year (Springing forward), my body clock does not spring backward or forward. My body clock stays regimented on the time it is accustomed to. Teaching full time, I get up early every day. Having to get up an hour earlier messes up my body clock. On top of that, Wednesday had been Ash Wednesday. After much prayer and asking God what He wanted to fast from, and what He wanted me to fast for, I had begun a very strict fast. My body was literally screaming, “Enough!” Yet I had to keep pushing forward. The “fasting flu” had taken over. That morning, sitting in church, feeling all of the full effects, a pause seemed perfect. As I took the week to reflect, I realized what has a hold on me in my life: food. I get pleasure from food. I don’t eat to survive. I eat because it makes me feel good. Oh, I am picky about what I eat. I don’t just eat to eat. I do not gorge. And I do not eat mindlessly. I am actually overall a generally healthy eater. I do not eat fried foods, or rich cream sauces, or crust, or very little processed or fast food. But for me, my attachment to food is much more dangerous. It is emotional, and celebratory. It is for pleasure. Most people, when going through sadness or hard times, will lose weight. Not this gal! I will pack on the pounds as I find pleasure in nothing else at the time, but food. And in good times?  For a personality like mine?  Everything is a  celebration!  And with all of the things I do not eat, I love to eat baked goods. AKA: the simple sugars, which turn into fat. 

So when you have an emotional issue with food like mine, there is no other way to manage it other than giving it to God.  So that is what I did for the 40 days of our Lenten fast. So the word that God was leading me to pause and wait for was…ENABLE. In order to thrive in 2025, I must enable God to be my source of pleasure. And then, just like David, a passionate, emotional character like me, I must cling to these truths: 

“Taste and see that the Lord is good.” 

Psalm 34. 

Not a physical tasting, but a spiritual tasting. He is my true pleasure, not food. And, David continues to say, “Those that seek the Lord lack no good thing.”  

This doesn’t mean that I will have everything that tastes good: cupcakes, cake, cookies, danish, pastries, scones, croissants…you name it, I love it!  But that, I will have every good thing from God, and those good things from Him will be my pleasure.

So I am still committed to write my Blog faithfully and to speak his truth in love. But I am also committed to asking Him, and listening to Him, if and when He calls me to take a pause. What pause may He be asking you to take?  What issue in your life may He be asking you to put on hold, so you can focus on Him?  Sometimes even good things like speaking His truth in love may need to “take a pause” to put first things first. Focusing on God and seeing that He is good!

TRUTH BOMB

Pausing to wait on God always yields God’s wisdom!

After all, we write wedding vows. We repeat them and we read them in front of everyone who attends the ceremony! 

Yes, we face the one we are committing our life to, and we repeat our vows to them. But in a wedding, it is not only to them, it is in the hearing and in the sight of all who attend! Above all, it is before God!

A vow is defined as a solemn promise.

Something that is solemn is formal and dignified, and it comes with deep sincerity. It is not a time to laugh. It is a time to be serious and make a commitment.

The reception after the wedding, after the vows have been made, is a party! It’s a time to celebrate and laugh and dance, and have fun! But the vows themselves are solemn. They are to be taken seriously and with dignity and respect.

An oath is a sworn declaration that is made with a commitment to abide by the rules and to be trustworthy! 

A doctor takes an oath to be held in his character and conduct to the highest of standards!

A promise is something we make that is a pledge to do the right thing no matter what! 

Too often, a promise is made lightly and almost as a matter of common day language without the gravity that a true promise should hold!

More importantly, and most important of all this is the covenant promise that we make to God when we commit our lives to Him!

So, for me the V in THRIVE IN 2025, is VOW!

In order to thrive with God in 2025, I believe that we need to recommit ourselves to keep our VOWS, OATHS and PROMISES! And above all our COVENANT with God!

“WHO KEEPS THEIR VOW, (promise, oath), even when it hurts and does not change their mind.” Psalm 15:4

For my marriage and my family, we committed the VOW, long ago, to God as Joshua did way back when….

“But as for me and my household, we will serve the Lord.” Joshua 24:15b

I believe in order to THRIVE with God, we must recommit to and keep our vows before Him!

Our acronym to THRIVE, has but one letter left:

T rust

H ope

R eap

I nterdependent

V ow

E

I look forward to meeting you back here next week as we complete the acronym and commit to thrive in 2025 with God!
