The Gift of Your Purpose
I had a dream. I was walking down the street in a familiar neighborhood with a bouquet of flowers in my hand. As I looked at this bouquet of flowers, I thought to myself, “These flowers are so beautiful, and I know just what to do with them. I’ll take them home, let them dry…

The Gift of Apples: Learning to Love Like Jesus
Daniel and I went apple picking recently. As we examined the fruit, I was reminded of Galations. Lately our pastor has been speaking a lot about fruit. I don’t mean the fruit we eat but rather the fruit we bear. Each good fruit we saw was evidence of its connection to the vine. When the…

The Gift of a Safe Place
I sat outside on the back porch and watched a meticulous and prudent Mama Bird build a nest for her babies. Back and forth she flew from the woods to the safe place clearly in sight from where I sat. Mama Bird, a beautiful little female cardinal, has resided in our back yard since I…

The Gift of Water
My husband recently went on a work trip, and that stirred up some anxiety in me. We haven’t been apart for more than a few hours since we married. I thought about how difficult the separation would be, and sadly, I wasted so much time anticipating how it would feel when he left. I dropped…

“The Gift of the Hummingbird and Why Caged Birds Still Sing”
I finally put two of my favorite paintings inside some frames. I created these two oil pastel paintings within the first few months of making the decision to sell my art, before I was inspired to start matting and framing them. My husband and I decided to create a dedicated gallery art wall in the…

The Gift of Looking Up
I recently got to mark “explore a gothic cathedral” off of my bucket list after my husband surprised me with a day trip to Sewanee, Tennessee. For as long as I can remember, I’ve had a love, fascination, and deep passion for gothic architecture, especially churches. Perhaps it’s the intricate artistry of the carved stone…

The Gift of God’s Grace: In My Nature
There’s very few things my Sassy loves more than brushing up against a fresh bouquet of flowers. Very early on as a cat parent, I made the decision my cat would not be restricted from being a cat. If she wants to jump on furniture, I don’t force her down but instead clean more often.…

The Gift of Grapes, God Winks, and Good Things
Daniel and I recently found this little treasure at an antique shop while looking at furniture. We passed by a set of amethyst grapes, and I made a comment about how much I loved it. Daniel said we should get it, but I couldn’t justify the purchase. I never anticipated I’d marry a man that…

The Gift of Flying: What it Really Means to be Made New
A bit of a mess was made on our back porch when some soil stained water seeped out of our potted plants on to the ground. The water dried, and it left a brown water stain on the tiles. Before washing it away, Daniel and I noticed a blue butterfly land on the stain and…

The Gift of the Window and the Magic of Winter: Playing in the Snow
3/24/26 (an entry from my dream journal) Daniel and I sat next to one another during our nightly devotional. I looked into his warm blue eyes, and my heart filled with gratitude as my mind began to catch up with reality. One year ago today, I was a mere month away from meeting the love…

The Gift of a Good Shepherd
“Jeremiah 3:15” is inspired by and dedicated to our pastor. The lamb represents the love Pastor Mike has for each individual of his congregation, and the writing on the side reads “Jeremiah 3:15” in Hebrew lettering and numerals. This 6×6 inch acrylic painting is named after the promise God makes in Jeremiah 3:15 to restore…
