The Gift of Three Years
I bought a blue and pink painted piece of Quartz to commemorate a very special anniversary—the three year anniversary to be exact—at my current job as a PPEC nurse. The blue and pink represents all the baby boys and girls that have touched my heart. I’ve learned a few things since working at this job.…

The Gift of an Author Named God
The most beautiful things in life we can’t plan for. Sometimes I struggle with this; sometimes this is a hard pill for me to swallow. If I can’t plan, then I can’t know, and if I can’t know, then I have to surrender control. There’s something beautiful about not knowing though, isn’t there? Who wants…

The Gift of God’s Light: Finding Peace and Rest in a Chaotic World
There’s nothing quite like resting in the presence of God. When our physical bodies sleep, they rest in darkness, but our spiritual bodies find true rest in God’s light.

The Gift of a Golden Heart
What’s so great about having a heart of gold, anyway? Gold is precious, rare, highly valued and sought after. The thing about gold that no one talks about though is that it’s easily manipulated. It’s estimated that a single ounce of gold can be flattened into a 100 square foot sheet. So why is it…

The Gift of a Woman Who Writes
I’ve never been a woman who speaks; not in public nor private has speaking ever come naturally to me. It’s not that I’m shy; I’m just not wired to speak; I am wired to write. For many years I prayed in my head. It wasn’t until I began to speak up and out loud that…

The Gift of Open Eyes
We’re all born with open eyes, though many of us willingly and even involuntarily close them. Pain, offense, anger, trauma are just a few of the reasons why people do this. Those negative emotions and experiences have a tendency to form a filter that we may then begin to see through. This filter obstructs our…

The Gift of Summer
The heat of summer reminds us all to do the things that refresh us. There’s nothing quite like the taste of watermelon in July or finding shade under a wide-reaching tree. We begin to look forward to the rain. These are the things that refresh our bodies but what about our souls? Always remember to…

The Gift of an Unexpected Visitor
When I came home from work the other day, I looked outside my window to see an unexpected visitor in my bird feeder. The poor thing looked a bit afraid, like maybe I was going to tell him to leave, but seeing him there just made me smile. The food I set out in my…

The Gift of Going Your Own Way
Many times in my life I’ve asked people what they believe. It’s probably the question I deem to be most important in determining the role someone will play in my life. Unfortunately, about 75% of the time, I’m met with an answer that begins with “Well, I was raised…” Why do we do this? Why…
