The Gift of Patience: Discovering Your Superpower
As kids we always thought superpowers belonged to superheroes like Superman, Spider-Man, and Wonder Woman.

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 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 Eden: Walking With God
Eden was full of gifts—beautiful surroundings, perfect health, no pain nor suffering, and no death. The greatest gift of all, the gift that made all the other gifts possible, was being able to walk alongside God.

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…
