SOS Friendship

Sep 9, 2019

SOS Friendship

As I was preparing for a women's Bible study, and a teaching for my youth ministry, the two topics for the group had the same message on relationships. I was blown away on how the issues of diverse groups would be the same for the same week. As I prayed before preparing my talks, I began to recognize God had something He wanted to address regarding the importance of relationships. A sweet friendship refreshes the soul. (Proverbs 27:9) The women's group will be studying the im

Love Like This

Holidays are exciting and challenging all at the same time. I was visiting with my friend and publisher Jeremy regarding my upcoming book release of "Just As You Are." I had shared with him that now is a hard time to get things done in promoting my book with Christmas a week away. Jeremy said, "Lisa you are a teacher, and my wife and I as well as others need to hear how do you survive the holidays; such as shopping, Christmas cards, or getting a long with loved ones at holida

So Now What?

Aug 16, 2018

So Now What?

In Genesis, when Adam and Eve ate of the forbidden fruit, they appeared naked, became ashamed and hid. God asks them why they were hiding. He knew, but wanted Adam and Eve to acknowledge the truth. This is the case for us today in the Church. It doesn’t matter the denomination. Sin has crept into the leadership of our churches. The secret in the churches today are entangled in gluttony, sloth, envy, pride, greed, anger and lust. The truth is coming out bigly regarding the sin

Advent Reflection - Week Three

The Still Small Voice 1 King 19:11-12 And he said, “Go forth, and stand upon the mount before the Lord. And, behold, the Lord passed by, and a great and strong wind rents the mountains, and brake in pieces the rocks before the Lord, but the Lord was not in the wind: and after the wind an earthquake; but the Lord was not in the earthquake: And after the earthquake a fire; but the Lord was not in the fire: and after the fire a still small voice.” Advent is a preparative season.

Advent Reflection - Week Two

Advent Reflection - Week Two

Reflection this week is Luke 1:39-56. The Visitation In the Gospel of Luke, we will find Mary goes to visit her cousin Elizabeth. There is a beauty of looking at the connection of Mary and the Ark of the Covenant. What could this connection be one may ask? The Ark of the Covenant in the Old Testament (2 Samuel), is bridged to the New Ark of the Covenant found in (Luke 1:39-56). The Old Testament Ark of the Covenant contained manna which was rained down from heaven, the sta

Advent Reflection - Week One

This week we will be praying and pondering over Angel Gabriel who came to Mary with a message from God. Read Luke 1:26-38. Out of the four Gospels, the Gospel of Luke is the only one which describes The Annunciation of Mary in detail. In Luke’s reading one can see Mary’s faithfulness to God’s call for her life. In the Gospel of Luke, the angel Gabriel exclaims to Mary, “Hail, full of grace, The Lord is with you!” (Luke 1:26-28). For a Jewish lady of Mary’s time to hear, ‘The

The Truth

Oct 28, 2016

The Truth

Rise Up, Women of God – “I remember a line from the movie A Few Good Men. When actor Jack Nicholson is on trial, the lawyer asks for the truth. In response, Jack Nicholson says, “You can’t handle the truth.” The truth isn’t what’s hard; it’s not knowing the truth that makes it difficult to stand firm. If you don’t stand for something, you’ll settle for anything. Ladies, let’s begin today’s lesson with a prayer and dig deeper into what God desires us to know so we too will sta

A Progressive Faith

A Progressive Faith

A Progressive Type of Faith – From Rise Up, Women of God, Scripture Study 1 John & 2 John, by Lisa Fahey. “John knew a particular group of people trying to offer a shiny object, to his brothers and sisters in Christ. When one looks at the meaning of progressive, it is easy to see that to derail people, it happens little by little. So perhaps we could agree that being progressive for the good or wrong happens gradually. I remember hearing an analogy on mediocrity. Pretend ther

Our Hope is in the Lord

2 Thessalonians 2:13-17 “But we ought always to thank God for you, brothers and sisters loved by the Lord, because God chose you as first fruits to be saved through the sanctifying work of the Spirit and through belief in the truth. He called you to this through our gospel, that you might share in the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ. So then, brothers and sisters, stand firm and hold fast to the teachings we passed on to you, whether by word of mouth or by letter. May our Lord

Am I Somebody?

Am I Somebody?

Do you suffer from Amnesia? Do you know who you are to the soul of your being? The world will tell you who you are, but you are not of this world. You were created in the image and likeness of God. Your value is not in what you do, the titles you have following your name, or your past. You are somebody – a big deal! Especially, in God the Father’s eyes. Today is a new day. Here is Scripture to help you remember you are good, worthy, valuable and loved! Eph. 2:10 ”For we are

My Joy Comes in Believing

May 25, 2016

My Joy Comes in Believing

Romans 15:13 “May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that by the power of the Holy Spirit you may abound in hope.” Believing is accepting and trusting in God. It is truth. Today truth is a rare commodity. How do we find truth in the Scriptures. When we read God’s Word we begin to know Him, and as a result we are inspired to speak to Him through prayer. His Word inspires us to move closer to Him. Truth becomes evident and the desires to bring Him

The Decision

The Decision

John 15:5-8 “I am the vine, you are the branches. Whoever remains in me and I in him will bear much fruit, because without me you can do nothing. Anyone who does not remain in me will be thrown out like a branch and wither; people will gather them and throw them into a fire and they will be burned. If you remain in me and my words remain in you, ask for whatever you want and it will be done for you. By this is my Father glorified, that you bear much fruit and become my disc

The Unseen

Spring is officially here! However, as I look outside there is snow covering our green grass and the blooming yellow daffodils. It was at this moment, I realized the same is true when it comes to faith. Just as the grass and flowers are hidden and unseen, sometimes what God is doing is also hidden and unseen. It is at this moment, the requirement from you will be – to have faith! When we pray the Creed, we are making a statement of faith. We did not have the opportunity to wi

I Am NOT Getting Anything Out of Church

I Am NOT Getting Anything Out of Church

This past week, I was visiting with a young mom. She said, ” I don’t even know why I go to Church?” I knew her statement deserved a well thought out response. I asked her why she was feeling this way and she stated, “I’m frustrated and pondering why I even go to church? I have two little ones, and my husband works nights and can’t always go to church with me and the kids.” In spite of the obstacles, the young mom made the decision to go alone and take her two little ones to

A Canned Soup Ministry

A Canned Soup Ministry

A week has passed since the death of our Pastor, friend and boss. Fr. Pete was his name. His passing has left us with an avalanche of grief, shock and sadness. As I reflect on Fr. Pete and his ministry, I smile when I think about “Wednesdays with Fr. Pete”. Fr. Pete would arrange meetings with his staff and parish members on Wednesdays. If your time to meet with him was from 10:00 am to 12:00 pm on Wednesday, your meeting time consisted of cooking with him in the kitchen. Dur

Me, Me, Me, Me, Me!

Me, Me, Me, Me, Me!

I remember doing voice exercises before choir – me, me, me, me, me. Unfortunately this blog is about how I almost missed an opportunity to be used by God, because I was only thinking of me, myself and I. The story began with one particular semester of working in campus ministry with middle and high school students, and college students. At the end of a fall semester, the young adults that I ministered to gave me a gift certificate for a free massage for a Christmas gift. I a

Letting Go!

Aug 26, 2014

Letting Go!

My heart has a familiar ache in these upcoming weeks as I watch parents and their high school teens prepare for the “Letting Go Chapter of Life”. The ache and excitement culminate together, leaving everyone feeling like a deer-in-the-head-light experience. “This is only natural” is what everyone will say to you as a word of encouragement. All you can remember is that in the last eighteen years with your child, you have fed them, helped them to read, write, work through math p

Fear Not

I am a chicken! All right there you go, now the truth is out there. Truth brings freedom, right. Well the truth may bring freedom; however, I am still a chicken. One day in May, I was on my way back from moving our daughter home, when Fr. John called me. He said, “Lisa, come to the Reservation Parishes I pastor at and infiltrate the teens with Jesus.” He explained the situation that the teens are using drugs and alcohol and as a result are making bad and hurtful decisions.

Poker Face

Have you ever had one of those moments when you are at a conference or during a sermon when the words being spoken seem directed only to you? It is as if no one else is present – only me, myself and I! Lately everything seems directed to what I know I am being called to do next. It has become quite noisy. Last week, I was at a conference struggling to have the energy to be there. Really just wanted to stay home and have a day off. From the moment the conference began, I felt

Numbers

Numbers

Numbers are either friend or foe depending on the use of them! Whether a person is paying bills or buying something your want; A performance of some sort such as a musical, ball game or what have you. A person gets their self worth when there a great number of people who had come or defeat if there were only a few in attendance. I am in ministry and I am a number counter, not because I like to, it is part of my job description, In fairness I can understand the purpose especia
