Billie Jean, describe yourself for our visitors.
Hmm…I see myself as being focused, with a definite purpose in sight. I understand that my destiny will not be achieved without direction and guidance from my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. I’m resilient, I do not allow past failures, struggles, and disappointments from friends or loved one’s to alter or put a damper on my dreams. I love offering encouraging words or ideas to individuals, especially women, that will help them in identifying their God given purpose in their life. My daughter refers to me as a “free spirit;” I guess I’ll have to agree with her. I love to have fun, I possess a great sense of humor and I love…to daydream.
How do you find time to connect with God?
Chuckle…That is not an option! I just do it!

The Gem Within
by Robin Wise
And when I passed by you and saw you struggling in your own blood. I said to you in your blood, ‘Live’! Ezekiel 16:6
We are God’s people and at some point in our lives, we are faced with struggles. They can be the result of a broken heart, a failed or abused relationship, rejection, finances, children, shattered dreams, divorce, pride, jealousy…we all have them, they come in different shapes and sizes, and each of us handle them in different ways.

Derwin, describe yourself for our visitors.
I am head over heels in love with my wife Vicki, the papa of Presley (13) and Jeremiah (9), and the Lead Pastor of Transformation Church near Charlotte, N.C. (www.tc521.org). Oh yeah, I played in the NFL for six seasons (Colts 1993-1997, Panthers 1998). I like to fish and play golf. I am much better at fishing than golf.

Jean, describe yourself—
Formerly an attorney, I am a professional writer with a focus on writing for children, middle graders, and young adults. I am also an editor, essayist, writing instructor, and grant writer. While wearing each of these hats is fulfilling in its own way, I find my greatest joy in writing for youth and young adults.
How do you find time to connect with God?
My most focused time with God is during my morning prayer and devotional time. I find that if I do not have this one-on-one time in the morning, it gets crowded out of my day. So, I make sure that either before or after my morning physical exercise routine, I have my private time with God.
