get to know... lisa

Lisa is one of my favorite people in this world. She is incredibly funny, deep, smart, beautiful, and passionate. She is also my roommate! Lisa teaches me about being silly, and that life doesn't need to be separated into the spiritual and the not. She has taught me a lot about love, acceptance, and being sisters. She has a strength that is intimidating, and a perseverance that is inspiring. Lisa and I have been friends since the ninth grade, and have had to overcome a lot because of that. It wasn't always pretty, and it always involved a lot of tears. But I believe we are coming to the other side of it.
There is a gentleness in Lisa that is so fragile and kind, yet carries tremendous weight and depth. She has been mistreated, abused, and cut down; but she has risen above it all, and she is a glorious, hilarious woman in Christ. I love her so much.

  1. I went to elementary school with Lisa, but never really knew her. It's so great to learn a little something about someone who's familiar to you, but not SO familiar to you. You know? I love this idea, Sarah. I will be anxiously awaiting your next post on this!! xo
