Change is in the air.

In Wilmington, where I live along the North Carolina coast, it finally looks like fall.  The leaves on our trees are finally changing colors and beginning to drop.  And it’s December!  In Wilmington, which has far more pine trees than hardwoods, we don’t see the season change as dramatically as the rest of our state. But change is in the air nonetheless.

Over the summer I began to feel that change was coming in my ministry. Honestly, I haven’t wanted to write…which is both good and bad. It’s good because I often wrote from a place of brokenness and pain. Thank God, He has mostly healed my broken heart.

But not wanting to write is bad because I’m a blogger. Bloggers write.

Like so many things in my life, the name of this blog, CelebratingWeakness, was God’s idea, not mine. I really wanted my website to be named something more like “TotallyWeakPerfectlyStrong.com.” So cute! And hip! But God told me as I sat in a conference room in Charlotte, “Celebrating Weakness.”

Many, many people have not understand the name of this blog.  It’s sad – I’ve had trolls send me condescending emails about the name of this blog.  After over three years with Celebrating Weakness, I feel like I am ready to move on.

I finally feel a release from God to change the name of my website. The new domain name is LisaMorganMoore.com. I like having my middle name in the name because it reminds me of what Lisa Morgan was like (before she was saved) and the transformation that God has made in my life.

I used to be ashamed of who I was before: Lisa Morgan. She did NOT have a good reputation.  But because of the blood of Jesus that covers all my sin, I am not ashamed of Miss Morgan.  I am secure in who I am.  To me, my new domain name testifies of God’s love and forgiveness in my life.

Will the blog change? I’m not sure. What has not changed is God’s calling on my life to encourage broken, hurting, and insecure women who feel alone in their struggles. By honestly and vulnerably sharing my own weaknesses, I can say to these women, “Me, too! You are not alone.”

The camaraderie of honest, imperfect women gives us all hope and grace.

I recently spent time on a weekend retreat seeking the Lord about His plans for my ministry in 2019.  Here is the “Purpose Statement” that beautifully expresses my heart:

I want to give grace to struggling women until they fully grasp the grace of God. I want to talk about Jesus and how His one sacrifice for all sin for all time is sufficient to cover our sinful past. I want to encourage women to boldly approach the throne of grace (Hebrews 4:16).

In short, I want to make every woman complete in Christ.

I’m working with my web designer in making the changes to my website and they should be complete in early 2019.  As far as I know, you won’t need to do anything. I wanted to give you, my faithful blog readers, a heads up. And I covet your prayers as I continue to run after God’s plan for my life.

Thanks for joining me on this journey.
