The Gift of Life Made Beautiful
What is it that makes life beautiful? It’s not only the beautiful things or even the beautiful people that color our lives, but rather, what we have chosen to create from the mess thrown at us. A lot has been thrown at me in 2024; I’ve faced trials I never imagined I would, but I…

The Gift of Peace: Choosing Confrontation Over Comfortability
Sometimes confrontation must come before peace—whether it be a person (with compassion), a situation, a trauma, or even a dream. We must refuse to run away from conflict and instead, choose to face things, face people, no matter how uncomfortable it may be in the moment. This is how we find peace. There’s a difference…

The Gift of Peace: God is Bigger Than the Storm
I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world. (John 16:33) The thing about life is this, as bleak as it may sound, no one gets out alive, and no one gets through it without their own…

The Gift of Peace and Pretty Things
Life has been heavy lately. My ceiling falling in on my kitchen was nothing but the cherry on top of the cake. While the maintenance crew began to create for me a new ceiling, I decided to do some creating of my own. I had a craving for soft and light colors, blues and purples.…

The Gift of Peacemakers: Peace is in Your Hands
What makes you feel at peace? For me, it’s pretty simple—I love creating. When I stop creating, I soon start to feel different in my spirit. I was made to create, whether that be a painting, a book, a poem, a home, or even peace itself. Recently during a podcast, the host began to speak…

The Gift of an Empty Wall: Finding Peace in the Unfinished
I sat and stared at my empty wall, the wall of my dining room that had once been occupied by a giant green forest tapestry. Like many things I’ve loved, I grew out of it and began to feel as if it were time for something new. God’s been teaching me lately to be at…

The Gift of Patience: Joy in Waiting
This is a tree from the neighborhood of my childhood, adolescence, and adulthood. It’s seen me as a young girl riding bikes with my best friend and playing on its playground. It’s watched me as a teen and young adult through multiple romantic relationships and for many years as a full grown woman. What I’ve…

The Gift of Patience: Discovering Your Superpower
As kids we always thought superpowers belonged to superheroes like Superman, Spider-Man, and Wonder Woman. As we grow from impatient little children into full grown adults, we begin to realize the true superpower in this life is patience, and the ones that learn to master this are the real heroes. Someone wise once said, when…

The Gift of Ruins
Some see ruins; others see a story. What came before the ruins, and what will come after? When a building is torn down, there’s hope for something greater to be rebuilt. If there’s one thing I’ve learned in my walk with Christ, it’s how to see beauty in the ruins. See the ruins aren’t the…
