Grace Like Rain

I am here for Friends

About Me

Hello! :) My name is Lisa. ~insert waving motion here~

'You shattered, You blazed, You took away my blindness, You shed Your fragrance, I drew my breath and my soul it pants for You.' Augustine of Hippo

'He was created of a mother whom He created. He was carried by hands that He formed. He cried in the manger in wordless infancy, He the Word, without whom all human eloquence is mute.' Augustine

Man, that Augustine guy had some sweet quotes... :) I do like others though..

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

People who ask questions of themselves and the world around them. Those who don't stop asking questions.
Those who have not lost a sense of wonder about the world and things.
Those who have decided that it takes more strength to care, than not to. Those who challenge the status quo...

.. and anyone with a story to tell :) which is mostly everyone I guess...
So talk to me already :)

On less than three hours sleep, my family of five drove to the airport this morning at 3am. It was a quiet, tired hour’s drive to Brisbane. Yet, this was the exciting, emotional and special jou...
