The Gift of a Heart-Shaped Rock
Today I just wanted to share a little something with you—my weird hobby. When I tell people I collect rocks, they often respond with “Rocks? What kind of rocks?” It’s not the type of rock that makes it special; it’s the place it was found in, the memories associated with it. When I take my…

The Gift of a Faith-Filled Morning
It all comes down to faith, doesn’t it? I wasn’t sure what God would have me write about, paint about that day, but I had faith He would show me. As I sat down that morning to read the last chapter of the book of Samuel, I soon realized faith was the very thing God…

The Gift of Such a Time as This
For if you remain silent at this time, relief and deliverance for the Jews will arise from another place, but you and your father’s family will perish. And who knows but that you have come to your royal position for such a time as this. (Esther 4:14) I believe we were all meant for the…

The Gift of a Woman’s Joy
Lately, I’ve really been enjoying my floral finger painting. It’s really brought out two sides of my personality that are precious to me—my femininity as well as my inner-child. “Some days, you just have to take off work, put on some classical music and paint some flowers.” I told myself, and that’s exactly what I…

The Gift of God’s Fingerprint
I added a song to my worship playlist recently, and I’m loving it! “Fingerprints” by Abi Bennett. You gave Your life; now I am fully alive. You spoke Your truth and tore down all my walls. My life has the fingerprints of Christ. Be magnified through me. The lyrics to this song inspired me to…

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 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,…

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 You
Leave this world better than you find it. Leave people better than you find them. Do you ever wonder how you can leave your mark on the world? It’s a bit of an overwhelming thought to have. Start by asking yourself how you can leave your mark on the day, this day. Ask God to…

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.…
