The Gift of Your Name
I used to hate my name. When I was a little girl, I wished my name were Jessica. Why? Because it was popular, and I hated being different. As I grew older, I learned to not only tolerate my name but love it. I love being different; I love being unique. Maybe you have a […]

The Gift of Knowing Him: Taking a Closer Look at Proverbs 31:25
She is clothed with strength and dignity, and she laughs without fear of the future. (Proverbs 31:25) I’ve been meditating on this scripture lately. What does it mean to be clothed with strength and dignity? You can’t go to the mall and find either of these things. Strength and dignity is spiritual clothing—they come from […]

The Gift of a Wife: Becoming the Proverbs 31 Woman
He who finds a wife finds a good thing. (Proverbs 18:22) What makes a wife? A wedding ceremony, a ring on your finger, a shared bank account and living space? I want to make a bit of an ironic claim: The “Proverbs 31 woman” was a wife before she had a husband and would have […]

The Gift of a Blank Canvas
In a way, life is a lot like art—each moment a blank canvas waiting to be painted on. How we move, how we act, how we choose to live and express ourselves will determine how the finished product turns out. Think of your life like a gallery of your very own artwork—a collection of moments, […]

A couple of months ago, after eating at our favorite Mexican restaurant, my mom and I went back to her house for some quality time. Little did I know, this “quality time” would consist of a desperate search for Sophia, […]

The Gift of Your Prayer Place
In the evenings, before I get in bed, I get comfortable and sit in the presence of God. After I clean up and after I eat, I make up my couch and turn down the covers on my bed. Then, I turn the thermostat down so it’ll be nice and cool when I climb into […]

The Gift of Prayer
This is my rosary. It was given to me on my first communion, and I have my grandmother’s rosary as well. I’ve always loved rosaries; I think they are so beautiful. Their worth, however, really doesn’t go beyond beauty and sentimental value. We don’t need a rosary or any other holy relic to communicate with […]

The Gift of Movement
The wind blows through the trees, and rain falls to the ground. The bird flies across the sky, and the mother gives birth to her child. The baby takes it’s first steps and eventually learns to walk. Life is marked by movement. We experience mind shifts, heart changes, and spiritual growth. Even our mere thoughts […]

The Gift of Tears
Those who sow in tears shall reap with shouts of joy. (Psalm 126:5) As I read this verse the other day, I began to think about its meaning. Sowing and reaping is a system. Just like any system, there are rules. What one sows, he or she will also reap. If you sow a good […]
