“Manifesting God's Love in my Life and Family”

I was raised in a middle-class family where my father worked three jobs, yet Sunday church and family time were deeply cherished. In my teenage years, I embarked on my own and hit the streets running. I ran so hard and continued to do so as a free spirit hippie girl. At the age of 23, I knew it was time to get real with life.

I worked hard and yet I still wasn’t free from the party life. Many years later and several relationships later, I thought I had found the right one. The one that I would settle down with and start a family.

Things were amazing the first five year and then it all changed. I became pregnant, and upon sharing the news with my boyfriend, he told me to ‘do what I needed to do – he was out! I stood, alone, pregnant… This major life changing experience, as a single mom, motivated me to recommit to learning and practicing the teachings around what it meant to manifest God’s love in my life, and now in Blaine's life.

A family was born. Through our journey together I consistently evidenced God’s love in our family, despite unexpected challenges. We loved each other more than I had ever known this kind of love.

I began going back to church, where months later, my son befriended this man and a very sweet friendship began. He would soon become my husband and my son’s ‘father.’

While living in Colorado, I became ill and after many hospital trips I had a burning desire to move to the warmth of Florida. We moved away from everything we knew and family and friends we so loved. Finding a church home in a new place proved to be stressful and challenging.

My heart's desire was to learn how to better manifest God’s love, yet my frustration grew so great that we stopped going to church altogether. Bad mistake!

Out of my journey I'd eventually write two books, THE BOOK, “I’m Doing The Best I Can!” (They won’t always be cute and adorable) and Manifesting God’s Love in Your Family (Growing Together In Faith.)

---------

Over the years my family unit began to deteriorate as hardship and bitterness grew between myself and the most important people in my life. Anger and discontent replaced love in a now divided home.

Frustrated, I began to journal, to help me process what I was experiencing while asking God for insight.

A couple of years later I remember feeling a presence as though the Lord was standing at my side asking if ‘I was still mad at Him for allowing my family to have fallen apart the way it did.’

The message I received was that; He brought my son home every night. Instantly, and at that moment I fell to my knees and asked for forgiveness. He had never abandoned me, I left Him. He just had to remind me of His fatherly love towards me.

These experiences led me to convert my journal writings into two books. THE BOOK, “I’m Doing The Best I Can!” (They won’t always be cute and adorable) and Manifesting God’s Love in Your Family (Growing Together In Faith.)

From well-reviewed author Lisa Hein (pen name), now Elyse Rusciano, I’m working diligently to share my writings with parents all around the country praying that this book will bring some peace and clarity as to how and what they must do to keep their children safe in these very confusing times.

As 'Lisa Hein', I’ve been featured on many TV and radio networks, booked as a motivational and Christian female speaker, formerly the co-host of a television show called ‘A View from the Pew,’ and radio talk show host titled 'Everyday Parenting'.

I've been honored to share stages alongside some of the most incredibly intelligent and inspiring people from all over the world. I'm thrilled to continue sharing my book 'Manifesting God’s Love in Your Family'. (In my first book I was angry at God. In this one I give Him all the glory.)

During this last decade my life has gone through a huge transformation - in many ways. I’m excited to see where my life journey is taking me. At times, my once roller coaster ride with my son was just overwhelming and destructive, and thank God, it is now pleasant and peaceful. He calls me regularly to just chat and/or to pray with him.

The best phone calls ever!

--- DID YOU KNOW

We are seeing more young people with mental disorders than ever before. In my book, Manifesting God’s Love In Your Family, you will find healthy and loving ideas on how to empower and direct the way they will go.

Families are in trouble with all the different ideas coming at our children and it's our job to direct them through biblical principles rather than new wordly ideas.

That many younger and adult children are feeling a shift in the way of the world. With sound advice, which is in my book, there is a great possibility that your family will get through it unscathed.

As parents, we carry much of the burden of the homelife. It can be a very hard journey if we allow it to overwhelm us and get out of hand. In my book, I continually go back to the fact that, the Bible, is our handbook to a successful marriage and raising of children. When we take time with God every morning in prayer, and we pray consistently over our family, the load may become much lighter.

Our children need us to be totally committed, healthy parents not their friend. To build a solid and healthy family, it’s an excellent idea to provide a platform for your family to build on. When the relationship with God and Jesus are a normal way of life, you may see that decisions being made about life situations may take a more positive turn.

Praying together allows everyone to share their heart and thoughts openly and honestly. When we set up a time, daily, to spend time in the Bible and/or a bible study (which in my book, there are 5 questions at the end of each chapter), we find that everything that is going on around us becomes quiet.

That when we Manifest God In Our Family, we are equipping one another to go into the world boldly while understanding that we are in the world but do not have to be a part of it. -------------

WHAT OTHERS SAY

Book Review by Jane Boston, President of Motivations, Inc. "I enjoyed your book at it is what so many parents need. It reminded me how blessed I have been that my son completely surrendered his life to the Lord at a young age and thus my parenting was made so easy because he chose to make his decisions God's way even as a child. Your book stays focused on parenting God's way which so many parents feel inadequate at this most important job."

Manifesting Book Review by Debra Lesinski Lisa, took your book, "Manifesting God's Love in Your Family" with me on my beach vacation! I thoroughly enjoyed the easy read filled with great inspirational content! I love that you inserted scripture throughout and have used scripture as the "rule book" for daily family life. I have many pages "dog eared" for future reference. One in particular that spoke to me as I am raising teenagers and have much worry was: "Therefore, do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. sufficient for the day is its own trouble." Matthew 6:34 Great book for parents of children of all ages!
