Usually, I add a weekly quote that strikes me at the end, but today these words touched my heart enough that they needed to go first.  The article behind the quote was in relation to always being aware and in thankfulness for what God gives us throughout our lives, even when we cannot see or… Continue reading “Because the only thing better than God standing next to you is God dwelling within you.”

https://youtu.be/Z4d5ZC_u570?list=RDZ4d5ZC_u570 New in our relationship, I was desperate (16 years old desperate) to see my boyfriend again.  He had been gone for an eternity – as I remember it, almost two weeks.  His whole family had travelled back to England to visit relatives, so far away.  I still hold on to the letters and cards… Continue reading Meet

https://youtu.be/-Iyvea6bif0?list=RD-Iyvea6bif0 Where does trust show up on your scale when something goes chaotic in your life?  Do you try with everything in your power to control the situation and solve the problem, or are you willing to let go and TRUST that everything will work for good?  I wrestle with this all the time.  I… Continue reading Trust

https://youtu.be/6fKLtPRwCCI?list=RD6fKLtPRwCCI If you’re a return reader of “From God’s Lips”, you know one of my hopes is you’re encouraged to view your faith from a light, sometimes a little humorous, and positive side each week.  My intention is always about “how do we move forward” and not about holding on to our past stumbles and… Continue reading Renewed

I should have done this a long time ago.  I guess I just assumed that everyone was doing it.  You know, the whole experience.  Now you’re thinking, “What is she talking about?”  I think I’ll leave you hanging for a bit. You know, the word experience can be used in different ways and have different… Continue reading Experience

It's one of those popular buzz words today, thanks to social media.  But I was curious to know more.  How does one get to be an influencer?  It reminded me of the once popular commercial when one person in a crowded room starts speaking about their investments with a well-known and trusted firm; and upon… Continue reading Influencer

As we begin this most Holy Week, the most powerful word I can think of is Jesus.  I remember a quote that asks, “Who do you say Jesus is?”  But then a much more important question followed, “Who does Jesus say you are?”  When I read that question it stopped me in my tracks.  “Oh… Continue reading Jesus

Last year, my husband and I, along with some good friends, took a drive to a local retreat center, to experience something new, a re-enactment of The Last Supper.  We thought it would be a great way to focus our thoughts during Lent, although we didn’t know what to expect.  The “stage” for the play,… Continue reading “Take this, all of you, and eat of it, for this is my body, which will be given up for you.”

This word brings to mind a story that helps me connect to how important it is to always be awake when needed.  My husband loves to recall the time we drove to visit family in New Hampshire.  One the way home, the day was gloomy and rainy.  He jokes (but unfortunately, it’s true) that during… Continue reading Awake
