A common question asked during a job interview is, “Are you a leader or a follower?” If you were ever asked that, do you remember what your answer was? And if you had to answer that question again now, would your reply be different? To describe ourselves as followers may seem, to some, to be… Continue reading Follow

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.
Christian
Now there’s a positive word! Many of us think of ourselves as a Christian and that’s the true path Jesus desires us to follow. However, there are many that would consider that word to be a negative, which is most unfortunate. Their impression of that label is, as Christians, we think we are better than… Continue reading Christian
Patience
I have to admit (can you?) my patience seems to run thin way too often. Waiting never seems easy, and many times painful. Do we choose to pray for answers, or should we be praying for the patience to endure instead? Waiting causes us to grow weary, instead of being appreciative of the wait. I… Continue reading Patience
Share
Doesn’t this word take you back to your childhood? Maybe you can even hear your mother’s voice saying, “Dear, remember you need to share your toys with….”, and you can fill in the blank with that best friend’s, sister’s or brother’s name. When we were younger, we didn’t understand how important it was in our… Continue reading Share
Invitation
Who doesn’t jump at the chance to be included on the invite list of that special party everyone is talking about? If we find out through the grapevine that we were left off the list, it causes us worry and even a little jealousy. My husband and I used to have an annual “after tax… Continue reading Invitation
Strength
I couldn’t get this word out of my head. When I awoke in the middle of the night, it was foremost in my thoughts and kept going around and around in my head. Why? I trusted that’s what we’re supposed to focus on this week – strength. Where do you get your strength? I’m not… Continue reading Strength
Prayer
What does your prayer time look like? Do you have a special place or time of the day that you sit quietly with Jesus? Or are you talking with him throughout your day? I wonder if we did a survey, posing those same questions, if we wouldn’t be surprised by the answers. I must admit… Continue reading Prayer
Touch
The power of touch can come in many different forms, but each one is just as important to our well being. When was the last time you received a hug from someone? It may have been just this morning. How did that gentle hug or a kiss from a loved one make you feel? … Continue reading Touch
Aliferous
What?? Before you start doing a search for the meaning of this word, I’ll save you the time. Aliferous means “having wings” or “winged.” I can just hear God laughing when this word showed up while doing a search on another name for wings. Maybe He even said, “This will get you to sit up… Continue reading Aliferous
In the beginning . . . the word existed.
The Word was with God, and the Word was God." Beginning - what an appropriate word use as a starting point. If you take a quiet moment, how many beginnings can you recall throughout your life? The first beginning is obvious, our birth. I recall a specific silent weekend retreat that I, and some members… Continue reading In the beginning . . . the word existed.
