The Gift of the Little Things
He tried his best to get those two little blocks to fit together, but just couldn’t do it. He began to cry and throw a tantrum right there on the floor. My heart broke as I wanted so badly to just do it for him. My aide said gently but firmly,“Don’t do it, Kamille. He…

The Gift of Color
My all time favorite question to ask someone has always been “What’s your favorite color?” Someone’s favorite color says so much about them. I have the hardest time choosing just one, and I used to really dislike that about myself. I’ve learned to love and accept that little quirk. Maybe, it’s the artist in me.…

The Gift of a Childlike Faith
Once upon a time there was a little girl. She was absolutely terrified of bad weather—thunder, lightening, and especially tornados. One spring night, tornado warnings flooded the television as a storm raged outside the windows of her home. In the midst of the storm, the little girl fell asleep. When she woke up, she was…

The Gift of Authenticity: Letting Go of Your Image
Authenticity is about letting go of our images in the mirror. Instead of looking outward at our reflections, we must learn to look inward and see our reflections in God’s eyes. It’s not that we should neglect our appearances. I put some effort into my appearance every day. I make sure I look put together…

The Gift of Rain
In the midst of all the storms lately, I have been thinking about the gift of rain. Without rain, the flower will never grow. Without rain, we cannot truly appreciate sunshine. Without rain, we cannot have the rainbow. Hardships, like rain, serve a purpose—without experiencing them, we will not learn how to overcome them. Without…

The Gift of Being Alive: Blooming Where God Plants You
Sometimes, God will call us to bloom in the most unlikely of places. The really beautiful thing about this photo is the fact that someone took a tree stump, a dead thing, and put life in it. As Christians, we too are often called to bring light, life, into dark places. Flowers don’t refuse to…

The Gift of Your God-Given Assignment
Your divine assignment is the progressive unraveling and attainment of your primary calling in life. It is blessing the world with the worth and quality of your personhood and attracting others to follow your inspiration. (Psalm 139:15-16) As Christians, we all have a purpose here on this earth—to build our relationship with Christ, to minister…

The Gift of God’s Plan: Seeing Beyond the White Picket Fence
“For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” (Jeremiah 29:11) The thing about plans—some of us have one; some of us don’t. God has a plan for everyone, but it’s up to us whether…

The Gift of Dreams
“Let her sleep, for when she wakes, she will move mountains.” unknown It all started with my dreams. I don’t mean my faith, as I was raised to be a Christian, but my journey towards my relationship with Christ. This is crucial, because what so many people don’t realize, is true Christianity isn’t about religion;…

The Gift of a Guarded Heart
Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it. (Proverbs 4:23) If you know me, you know I love to collect rocks. I like to take them from places and times I want to remember, and I usually paint them. This is a rock from one of my favorite hiding places.…
