Not burst in the sense of a balloon bursting but bursting with joy! That should be our resolution this year – to burst with joy. I hate the same New Year’s resolutions that we profess each year. I vow to lose weight, I resolve to be more patient and kind to others or I promise… Continue reading Burst! – Finding joy on our journey of faith

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.
Knowledge
You have one wish, to either choose between being given knowledge of the mind or knowledge of the heart. Which would you choose? I’ve never claimed to be a person of intellect. I dislike playing trivia games, or any game that requires knowing facts in an instant. I even recall, with a smirk on my… Continue reading Knowledge
Hallelujah!
https://youtu.be/V9ORdDGgzu8 If there was ever a time to use this word it is now. Let's say it out loud, with joy and celebration - Hallelujah - a savior has been born! I did things backwards this week because this song is a different version (my preferred one) of the Hallelujah song. I've used that word… Continue reading Hallelujah!
Gifts
We are presented with many gifts during our lifetime. Some of them are things you can hold in your hands and immediately appreciate. Other gifts are not as noticeable and may take time to fully identify them as gifts. Many times we cringe and would like to just return our gift. One of those so-called… Continue reading Gifts
Tidings
The word tidings is a descriptive word used when announcing recent news events about to happen. It’s like that old commercial when the actor mentions what E.F. Hutton says, and everyone in the room, upon hearing that name, is immediately silent, waiting to hear what he’s going to say. Shouldn’t our ears also perk up… Continue reading Tidings
Prepare
The first thought that comes to my mind, as Jesus whispers this word to me is, “Prepare the way of the Lord.” And that’s exactly what we should be doing this time of year. We are anticipating and preparing for a very important guest at our Christmas celebrations. I have so many fond memories of… Continue reading Prepare
Riches
When we are growing up, we don’t understand how the world looks at and deals with money and its value. I saw my allowance of 50 cents a week definitely as riches to me at the time. My husband will roll his eyes, but still laughs, when I recall a few of the stories from… Continue reading Riches
Power
Power can be used in many different ways, both for good and evil. What would it mean to you to have more power in your life? Think of it - people would look up to you; people would honor you; people would listen to your every word. But Jesus teaches us to be humble, desiring… Continue reading Power
Warmth
The word warmth takes me back to my childhood. With colder weather approaching, I am reminded of the warmth I experienced, living in our family’s two-story row home. As a child, I would very often squeeze behind our living room couch and put my, then petite, frame smack up against the heating register. I enjoyed… Continue reading Warmth
Feeling
Have you ever felt it? It may have been in the midst of chaos or even a quiet moment to yourself. Suddenly, without expectation, you feel it, as if it seems to wash over you. Maybe, at that moment, you can’t explain it and wonder what that feeling is. Many even ignore it, attributing it… Continue reading Feeling
