The Gift of Surrender: Go Where You Grow
This is my baby rubber plant. It doesn’t look so much like a baby anymore, does it? Over the years, I noticed the more it grew, the more it began to lean over. This used to really frustrate me, and I kept trying to get it to stand upright. Finally, I surrendered, and when I…

The Gift of a Hidden Thing
It is the glory of God to conceal a thing, and the glory of kings is to search it out. (Proverbs 25:2) A friend and I decided to do an “escape room” recently, and we had so much fun! One of the rules to the game was that we must go into the room with…

The Gift of a God-Opened Door
Behold, I have put before you an open door which no one can shut. (Revelation 3:8) Doors come in many forms. Some doors are revolving, closing and shutting like clockwork.

The Gift of a Bad Day
I met someone online recently. Well, we didn’t exactly meet, but we FaceTimed for hours. This man was too good to be true, everything I thought I was looking for. The day after our little phone date, I woke up early as usual and curled up in my prayer chair with my favorite blanket and…

The Gift of God’s Steadfast Love
Every time I pass Olive Street, I’m reminded of the resiliency of the olive tree. Olive trees are extraordinarily tough, equipped to handle subzero temperatures, drought, frost, and even fire. Their roots are so strong they can regrow even when it seems there is no visible hope. In a way, God’s love for us is…

The Gift of a Sleeping Baby
We got a new baby at the center at work, and she is the cutest little thing. As I sat with her the other day, rocking her to sleep, I couldn’t help but wonder if this is how God sees His children—absolutely adorable. There’s something about a sleeping baby that activates a part of us.…

The Gift of Birds and the Sound of Joy
Currently listening to “Joy in the Morning” by Tauren Wells What does joy sound like to you? To me, it’s the sound of Sassy purring, the sound of my Keurig warming up first thing in the morning, a flock of birds making a joyful noise as they congregate around the feeder outside my window. As…

The Gift of a Bold Believer
The righteous are as bold as a lion. (Proverbs 28:1) God calls us to be bold in our faith, but what does it mean to be bold? It doesn’t mean loud nor aggressive; it doesn’t mean attention-seeking nor reckless. Boldness is having a strong, vivid character—clear and confident—as well as the ability to take risks,…
