The Imperfect Sojourner

Hello from me - The Imperfect Ss...stranger 🤣 Soooo, it has been a literal YEAR this week since I have been around here! 🤯 I'm back. What a year it has been!! This time last year we were finishing up our reading of the Bible through in 6 months... The Lord was busy doing so much personally in me and in our life as a family; We were adjusting to a health diagnoses for Mr Sojourner . I bought a car after almost 10years not driving and prepared myself to face some fears! We were getting ready for our biggest Little Sojourner to start (big)school and our littlest Little Sojourner to start preschool. And I found out there was another Little Sojourner on the way 👶 All day "morning" sickness, new school routine, preschool battles,  getting back in a car and much joy and anticipation followed over the months. This February we welcomed our little one. Another girl... Our 3rd Pink Tulip. Then COVID-19 Pandemic happened and we went in to lo...

Hi There! Lisa here. The Imperfect Sojourner. I figured it was probably time I properly introduced myself! I'm a wife and mother in my thirties from the beautiful green island of Ireland. I'm 12 years married to Mr. Sojourner and together we have two Little Sojourners. I enjoy time with my little family; we are total homebodies so for us our favourite things to do together are local walks, exploring, out for chats coffees and pastries, singing our favourite songs, getting on the floor around a puzzle, reading books or colouring pictures together, cooking our favourite food and watching a movie and we also love time catching up with our wider family and friends. Personally, I don't get a lot of 'me' time in this season of life so my dream hobbies are mostly on hold! However, I enjoy walking, reading, writing, being creative, taking photographs, coffees with friends, though most of the time I have little company with me in those, haha! I woul...

  As we jump in to a new year we tend to have ideas about who we want to be, what we want to do and where we want to go. Some of those are short term and some are long term but we are planning out our next steps for this year! However, It's hard to map a journey to where you want to be if you don't know where you are at RIGHT NOW! First, we need to be true to where we are actually at in life personally; emotionally, spiritually and  practically! Then we can make a more realistic journey map to where we would like to be and to WHO we would like to become over this coming year. So much of our life involves comparison... comparing ourselves to other people. Our looks, achievements, careers, homes, cars, bank accounts, maybe even our husband and kids ;) but really the only comparison that is correct and that should be allowable is that between ourselves today and ourselves yesterday. If WE are growing, changing, improving, becoming more in the likeness of Christ than ...

Hi! Lisa here... I am The Imperfect Sojourner! Welcome to my table; pull up a chair, pour a cuppa, break some bread and find love and acceptance right where you are now and encouragement for where you are headed on your journey through this life. A little background: I am a follower of Jesus. I believe as The Scriptures say; that we are in a fallen reality now but that His Plan is for the restoration of the earth under His Leadership. Therefore, I use the word sojourner because it means a temporary stay or a person passing through. This place is for fellow sojourners who want to live this life in light of that reality. How we sojourn is important. For the Christ follower we are to be made in to His likeness. I have concluded that above all our other achievements this is key  - though our 'doing' is important... our 'being' and the place from which we do is the critical backbone. You can do all the right things and still miss it! The pharisees are a good example...
