Thursday, July 12, 2012. Welcome to South Africa. I arrived at the O.R. Tambo International Airport in Johannesburg, South Africa on Monday, June 11 at 8:30am. After proving to the authorities that I did, in fact, have a reservation to leave the country in a timely manor, I received the security stamp of approval. I LOVED seeing Giana's beautiful smiling face. It'd been almost a year and I've missed that face! It was an amazing privilege and gift to finally get to meet the Refilwe family face to face.

Monday, September 29, 2014. Knowing…Seeing…Loving…Praying. I've always known I have a gift. If I were a non-believer I might consider myself a psychic. But I'm a Christ-follower and I know I have the gift of prophecy. My husband wonders if maybe it's a curse. He says people just don't know what to do with me. I'm having a hard time finding my place in the family of God. Two weeks later that house burned to the ground. When John and Carolyn shared the harrowing experience with the church family, I remembe...

liz by design: Speak Up!
http://lizbydesign.blogspot.com/2013/12/speak-up.html
Tuesday, December 31, 2013. Don't you just love the heart of a mother? We will do anything to defend and support our kids. When they make bad decisions, we give them advice (even when we know it won't be heeded), and then we give them a soft place to land when they stumble. When they are wronged - we will fight for them! I talked with a mom last night whose daughter recently dealt with a sexual harassment situation at work. What advice would a mom give her daughter in that situation? Can you imagine any ...

Monday, July 1, 2013. The Long Ugly Goodbye. It is with a heavy heart that I must (once again) walk away from the church I chose - I CHOSE - to attend. It wasn't my decision to leave 14 years ago, and I wish I didn't have to go now. Lest you judge me, please know that I've done everything to reconcile according to scripture. I went to my offender one on one, then I took someone with me, and then I went to the leadership to help with the restoration process, but all to no avail. I, however, am NOT embrace...

Wednesday, January 1, 2014. A guilty heart grows a forest of hate; fertilized by truth's silence. January 1, 2014. I Resolve to Defend and Affirm. In 2nd Samuel, chapter 13, we read the tragic story of David's daughter, Tamar - a beautiful young girl. One of her brothers (Amnon), fell in love with Tamar. The Bible says that Amnon was "frustrated to the point of illness on account of his sister Tamar, for she was a virgin, and it seemed impossible for him to do anything to her.". Tamar had been wearing th...

Saturday, February 9, 2013. Facts vs. Truth. Poet Maya Angelou posted this on her Facebook page, "There's a world of difference between truth and facts. Facts can obscure the truth.". Oh how many times we allow facts to obscure the truth. Worse - we don't allow truth to shine through the facts! As a single raindrop on a quiet pond sends ripples out to all the shores, so it is with spoken words - they send out ripples that can't be taken back. Everything I said after that was heard through the Liz-doesn't...

Sunday, July 6, 2014. Hollywood producer, Robert Evans writes in his autobiography ( The Kid Stays in the Picture. Words matter. Anyone who says, “They’re just words – ignore them” has never suffered true character assassination by a cruel person wielding the ax of gossip and lies. Over the course of the past few months I’ve suffered numerous anxiety attacks. No, I haven’t been accused of murder, but I HAVE been accused of putting a hit out on a former friend. But putting a hit out on her? One day she ev...
