Seize the Way

Winning the Prize

May 6, 2025 by alisa hope wagner Leave a Comment

“Do you not know that those who run in a race all run, but one receives the prize? Run in such a way that you may obtain it” (1 Corinthians 9.24 NKJV). I won fifth place out of around seventeen ladies during my first bodybuilding competition in the Figure Division. I was so excited. Four women were already on stage, and there was room for only one more winner. When they … [Read more...] about Winning the Prize

Dead Last: Part 2

April 2, 2025 by alisa hope wagner Leave a Comment

“Behold, I will do a new thing, Now it shall spring forth; Shall you not know it? I will even make a road in the wilderness And rivers in the desert” (Isaiah 43.19 NKJV).   People stared at me as I sprinted past the running point, beginning my race twenty minutes late. I still had over five miles left to run and had already run over two miles to get there. My only … [Read more...] about Dead Last: Part 2

Dead Last Race: Part 1

March 8, 2025 by alisa hope wagner Leave a Comment

  “Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us” (Hebrews 21.1 NIV).   My town of Corpus Christi held their 46th Annual Beach to Bay Relay Marathon.

Police Pullover

February 22, 2025 by alisa hope wagner Leave a Comment

  “And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose” (Romans 8.28 KJV).   I was driving in a small coastal city about 45 minutes from my house. I had to pick up my husband who dropped off our boat for maintenance. While driving, I stopped at a convenience store to get a drink and … [Read more...] about Police Pullover

Throwing Away Journals

February 4, 2025 by alisa hope wagner Leave a Comment

  “This means that anyone who belongs to Christ has become a new person. The old life is gone; a new life has begun!” (2 Corinthians 5.17 NLT).   I’m very nostalgic. I still have every letter that my husband (then boyfriend) wrote me over thirty years ago. I also started journaling off and on again when I was fourteen. I kept every journal until around five … [Read more...] about Throwing Away Journals

Through Noise and Quiet

January 25, 2025 by alisa hope wagner Leave a Comment

“Now all the people witnessed the thunderings, the lightning flashes, the sound of the trumpet, and the mountain smoking; and when the people saw it, they trembled and stood afar off. Then they said to Moses, ‘You speak with us, and we will hear; but let not God speak with us, lest we die’” (Exodus 20.18-21 NKJV).   I have two pets—a ten-year-old brown dachshund, … [Read more...] about Through Noise and Quiet

Getting Shiro

January 10, 2025 by alisa hope wagner Leave a Comment

  “Take delight in the Lord, and he will give you the desires of your heart” (Psalm 37.4 (NIV).   I had been wanting a cat for years, but my husband and two sons absolutely did not want one. We already had a dachshund. “We are dog people, not cat people,” they would say. But I had grown up with cats. I received a cat when I was fifteen years old. She was my … [Read more...] about Getting Shiro

Creative Full Circle

December 20, 2024 by alisa hope wagner Leave a Comment

  “Nevertheless, each person should live as a believer in whatever situation the Lord has assigned to them, just as God has called them…” (1 Corinthians 7.17 NIV).   I did a literary public reading with several writers from my city at our local library. We didn’t have a large crowd, but sitting in a chair on the first row in front of the podium was my high … [Read more...] about Creative Full Circle
