The Gift of Hills
Whenever someone would tell me I was beautiful, I used to really take it to heart. In fact, I still do. Who doesn’t want to hear those words? As I’ve gotten older, though, there’s something that I long to hear even more than that. “I see God in you.” There is no higher compliment. When…

The Gift of Confidence
Confidence—it’s one of those things that is elusive to some, seems natural to others, and leads many of us into a “fake it ‘til you make it” kind of mentality. The truth is, worldly confidence is elusive; it’s fleeting, and it will inevitably come and go at some point or another. Godly confidence is a…

The Gift of an Empty Cup
We all want to be filled. That’s why we go to church, isn’t it? That’s why we listen to worship music. That’s why we listen to podcasts, sermons, and that’s why we read books. We are always looking to be filled. How many of us, though, are remembering to pour? We must pour out to…

The Gift of a Proud Mother
I genuinely believe for most of us, our deepest desire is to make our parents proud. From a young age, it’s what we all long to hear, isn’t it? “I am proud of you.” When we mess up enough times, we begin to feel as if that just isn’t possible anymore. So, we tell ourselves…

The Gift of a Passion Project
When was the last time you created something you were truly passionate about? Not everyone is passionate about their career, and you know what? It’s ok! People are shamed for not loving their career or their job. It’s amazing to do what you love, love what you do, and get paid for it! The truth…

The Gift of Christmas
“Christmas isn’t about presents; it’s about His presence.” -unknown I had a dream last night. A lady and I were talking, and she asked me, “If God is real, why doesn’t he give me the two hundred dollars I need right now so I can buy Christmas presents?” As I looked into this lady’s eyes,…

The Gift of a Boat
I woke up the other morning with a worship song playing in my head—“Build a Boat” by Colton Dixon. “I will build a boat in the sand where they say it never rains. I will stand up in faith; I’ll do anything it takes. With your wind in my sails, your love never fails or…

The Gift of a God-Sized Void
How does happiness happen? This is the topic of discussion as of lately at my church. Happiness happens when we begin to see unhappiness differently. Happiness happens when we begin to use our unhappiness as the catalyst for our happiness. We have the power to change our lives, and the amazing thing about it is…

The Gift of Being Chosen
It was spring—not too long after moving into the first place I could call my own. I went to sit outside on the porch steps and noticed a black and white cat with a trail of itty bitty black and white fur babies tagging along behind her in a single file line. As they passed…

The Gift of the Little Girl
Sometimes God speaks to us, but we are so lost, so broken, it can be hard to hear Him. There was a point in my life I was lost. During this time, God gave me a dream. “The Little Girl” 6/19/16 (an entry from my dream journal) I was supposed to be babysitting a little…
