Welcome!

Welcome to my blog, Stand Tall for Truth! I'm happy you've landed here! You may find the title a curious one, but after I share my story with you, you will no doubt understand the meaning behind it. But first, before I get into that, let me briefly share a with you, who I am, and why I'm here.

I live in middle Tennessee, in the Bible Belt of the US. I'm a Christian, a wife, and a mother of one.  I'm 54 years young, and I've been happily married for 35 years. We have a lovely daughter who will soon be 27, and who is engaged to a wonderful young man, that we are blessed to welcome into our family.  

The reason for starting this blog, is that since the loss of my beloved father last November, and at the encouragement of others, I have been praying for God to use me.  Isaiah 6:8 says, "Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying, "Whom shall I send? And who will go for us?" And I said, "Here am I. Send me!" As most of us, I had no idea, what my calling was, or what God had planned for me. So I continued to ask him to light my path, in the way in which he wanted me to go. It wasn't long, and I started to ponder the idea of starting a blog to encourage those who are out there looking for a place to find comfort and hope in this crazy world. Over time, that nudge became stronger and stronger, until I knew it was God speaking to my heart. So here I am! 

If I'm able to be of encouragement by sharing my hope and my story with just one person, then it would be worth all my time and effort spent. I have a lot on my heart that I feel moved to share with all of you, so I hope you stick around so we can get to know one another! I would love for you to introduce yourself and share where your from.

~Peace and Joy,

Lisa
