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…

The Gift of Joy: Trading Anxiety For Gratitude
I recently hit my 200th blog post, and it’s inspired me to write about gratitude which is one of the themes of kamillegrace.com. Truthfully, my blog wouldn’t even exist if I had listened to that voice in my head, the one that told me no one would care what I had to say, and I…

The Gift of Joy: a Story About Faith
My heart sank when I drove passed the wildflower garden a few weeks ago and saw nothing but tall grass, and it sank even further when my mom confirmed that’s all she saw as well. I had been looking forward to my visit since winter. For some reason though, those little flowers just didn’t appear…

The Gift of Joy: Becoming Your Own Brand of Beautiful
I looked at all the little wildflowers around me, the same flowers many would walk past without noticing, and others would call weeds. The sun had just risen, and it was casting its golden light over the field of flowers. They looked so full of joy. It was almost as if they knew just how…

The Gift of Wildflowers
My mom lives near this wildflower garden, one of my favorite little places in town. For months I’ve asked her “Have the wildflowers bloomed yet?” “Not yet.” She kept replying. “It’s not hot enough.”Wildflowers grow from the heat of the summer, and we too grow from heat. We can’t expect to live a sheltered life…

The Gift of Waiting: God is Always on Time
I arrived at my appointment today about an hour early. Not on purpose, but because everything else had been done, and it would have been out of my way to go back home. Thus, I found myself in the parking lot with not a whole lot to do besides waste time. That’s when inspiration struck…

The Gift of the Storm: Remembering Who God is
The storm reminds us that life is often chaotic, dark, and completely unpredictable. The storm tests our faith and pushes us deeper into God (or our idols). The storm reveals our inadequacies, our fears, our weaknesses, and all the things we seek comfort in—our addictions, distractions. The storm can bend us so far we nearly…

The Gift of Surrender: Bridging the Gap Between My Will and His
The distance between my will and His will is forever going to be the distance between myself and paradise. How often do we suffer on this earth when we don’t get what we want? “Thy will be done” is more than just a phrase we recite when we say the Lord’s Prayer. These words are…
