LisaMorganMoore.com. To many people, the name “Lisa Morgan Moore” means nothing. It means something to my family, my 150 blog subscribers and my about 1000 Facebook friends, but that’s about it. I’m not famous or a celebrity or even an influencer. So who am I?

Read to the end, and you will learn why I named my website after myself.

I am a woman who God has called to help other people. I tend to look like I have it all together but once I start talking about my real life, people learn that I am just like them.  I constantly battle insecurity and rejection.  I struggle with anxiety.  I understand grief.

Simply, I am an honest, relatable friend. I am not only willing to talk about the junk in my life, but I am compelled to be vulnerable and transparent. Many times it is hard, but when I am honest, I help people.  I share my messy life and then I point people to Jesus. It’s what I do.

I’m just a simple girl. I am silly and my antics make my family and friends laugh. I am an optimist – most of my arguments with my husband of 24 years have been when he said I couldn’t do something, and I replied, “Of course I can!” I’m 4’10” – quite vertically challenged – so I am a bit determined to prove people wrong.

I am joyful and creative. My note cards business is named “JoyFul Note Cards” because each of my cards is filled with joy. My backyard cottage garden is the best expression of my joyful personality. It is quirky, whimsical, joyful, colorful and fun. I love to create garden art to adorn it. In fact, recently I’ve begun to call myself a “garden artist.” Why not?

I love Jesus. I don’t know why, I just do. I love God, I love His Word, and I love His people. I am one of those nerdy Bible teachers who loves to dig deep into the original Biblical languages. It is an adventure for me and I love to share the treasures that I unearth with others.

I LOVE A MICROPHONE. I don’t know when my love for being in the front of a room began, but perhaps it was when I was Chicken Little in a first grade play. Or when I gave a speech at my 6th grade graduation or when I spoke at my high school graduation. But mostly I just love to talk (my friends are saying, “Amen!”) and if I have a microphone, then I get to talk. And I am happy.

I love afternoon naps under my electric blanket, curled up with my stuffed bunny rabbit, “Jessie,” and snuggled with my dog Coco. Every afternoon about 2:30 pm that’s where you’ll find me. So don’t try to call me then. I won’t be answering.  I’m an introvert by nature, so I need time alone to recharge.

I love my family. I have the best husband in the world (really) and my children are amazing.  I have a son with autism who is defying all the odds!  When I was younger, I was given a great start by my parents and I had many advantages, for which I am thankful. When I think of the many people who have loved me into adulthood and beyond, I am humbled.

If you’ve read this far, thank you. Let me tell you why this site is called LisaMorganMoore.com.

About 30 years ago, Lisa Morgan was a lost teenager, engaging in sinful acts day in and day out. Even though I went to church, I still made a big mess of my life.  I did not have a relationship with God and it showed.  When I was in college and I felt like all hope was gone, Jesus found me. He rescued me from the muck of my life and slowly changed me from the inside out.

For many years I have been ashamed of “Lisa Morgan.” But I am no longer ashamed of my past because there is no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. I was rescued. I was redeemed. I am changed.

I am Lisa Morgan Moore.

A simple, joyful, creative, Jesus-loving, napping, redeemed girl. And I want to be your friend. Your honest, authentic, relatable, imperfect friend. Join me here and let’s get to know each other.
