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: Changing Your Perspective
See all those colorful wildflowers? For months leading up to that morning, nothing but grass filled the entire field. Rain, ice, snow, and eventually the hot sun all came before the beautiful, color filled field of wildflowers. That field was always a garden; it simply wasn’t in season.

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 greatest gift of all, the gift that made all the other gifts possible, was being able to walk alongside God.

The Gift of Psalm 73: Becoming Faith
God revealed something to me as I read Psalm 73 the other morning. It’s not merely faith that saves us; it’s faithfulness. For behold, those who are far from you will perish; you put an end to everyone who is unfaithful to you. (Psalm 73:27) As I read this verse, a particular word seemed to…

The Gift of Small Miracles
This is a photo of a small miracle I captured the other day—a rosebud that had recently formed on my rosebush. “Give me a miracle, and I’ll believe.” These words God has probably heard from most of us at some point or another. The truth is, our very existence is a miracle. If God gave…

The Gift of Him: Choosing Between the World and the Word
We live in a world where truth is being made obsolete. Truth to many is no longer concrete but becoming more and more fluid. The truth is though, truth is not subjective. Truth is not relative to each individual person. Truth is truth. He is truth, and the truth is Him. When we attempt to…
