The word “chosen” takes me immediately back to my school days where I can visualize my classmates and myself all lined up and fearfully waiting to hear our names called to be chosen for the team. I remember how disappointed I was when I didn't make the cut to be on the cheerleading team. Maybe… Continue reading Chosen

Why follow From God's Lips?
In our busy world, our soul desires quiet time with God. His desire is that we spend time with him, focusing only our building our relationship with him. He wants to hear our words speaking to Him - our needs, concerns and definitely remembering to give Him thanks for everything - both in joy and sorrow. God is calling you to spend time with him through the positive words He has placed in my heart. I hope you will, along with me, share and grow in His love.
Freedom
I remember taking a school field trip with my fellow classmates to the city known for freedom – Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. What impressed me the most was seeing the Liberty Bell with its infamous crack and reading the story behind it. When we were younger, did we really understand what freedom meant and how blessed we… Continue reading Freedom
Decision
How many decisions have you made in your lifetime? It doesn’t matter if you’re sweet 16 or in your 90’s, we make decisions every day of our lives. It may be as simple as “What should I have for breakfast this morning?” to the most important decision of our lives. “Should I go to college?” … Continue reading Decision
Women
You may assume you know where I’m going with this very special word, but I may disappoint you. Over the years when my husband and I were in business, I was responsible for all the sales and marketing in our firm. I attended many seminars and networking meetings, which were essential in establishing relationships and… Continue reading Women
Listen
Listening is a skill. Or is it? Maybe we need to look at it a little deeper than that. It is a skill that requires practice; however, I believe it also requires awareness. I am reminded of the well-known quote, “God gave us two ears and one mouth, so we ought to listen twice as… Continue reading Listen
Joy
What is the difference between happiness and experiecing joy? My first thought was joy is something more internal and comes from deep down inside me. Happiness is a fleeting thing - never lasting. I can think of thousands of moments that brought me happiness in my life. I can recall so many wonderful memories of… Continue reading Joy
Healing
I love reading inspirational stories about people that have been healed. I also know it’s frustrating when you pray unceasingly for healing for someone you care about or ourselves, with no noticeable results. But the earthly definition of healing and God’s definition don’t even come close. However, I do have a story…. It all started… Continue reading Healing
Awake
I’m sure you know a lot of people that have trouble sleeping. I recall listening to my friends’ stories about the many hours they lie wide awake during the dark of night. I was always ready with my wise advice on some strategies to take; but little did I know it all finally caught up… Continue reading Awake
Bloom
It’s that time of the year (although Spring comes earlier here in the South)! After the dreary and quietness of the winter, whatever level of weather you experience, it’s the blooms on the barren trees, the daffodils and other bulbs peaking out of the earth, that give us a new spring in our step and… Continue reading Bloom
Adventure
Life is an adventure! I have been heard proclaiming this many times, while also comparing our life as a roller coaster ride. I can sense many of you are nodding in agreement. When someone recently shared that they were having a hard time convincing their spouse to downsize and sell their home, I suggested she… Continue reading Adventure
