The Gift of Two Dozen
I decided to order a piece of Cobaltoan Calcite and a chunk of Rose Quartz to commemorate this era of my life, to celebrate my first two books—“The Gift of a Dozen Reasons” and “The Gift of a Dozen More”. To me, the bright pink color symbolizes joy. This is why I chose bright pink…

The Gift of Gratitude: Giving Birth to Joy and Peace
The common theme in my two books, “The Gift of a Dozen Reasons” and its sequel, “The Gift of a Dozen More”, is gratitude. In gratitude, we glorify God for all He’s done for us, and He in turn fills our hearts with true joy. In gratitude, we find peace in various trials. When we…

The Gift of Facing Fear
I’ve struggled a lot with confidence to post about my faith. Ironically enough, my faith is the one thing I post about the most. It’s because I refuse to let the enemy win, and what he wants is for me to keep quiet. He wants us all to keep quiet about our faith and most…

The Gift of God’s Light: Finding Peace and Rest in a Chaotic World
There’s nothing quite like resting in the presence of God. When our physical bodies sleep, they rest in darkness, but our spiritual bodies find true rest in God’s light. Have you ever gotten plenty of sleep yet woken up exhausted? Other times, you’ll get too little sleep yet feel pretty great the next morning. Why…

The Gift of Open Eyes
We’re all born with open eyes, though many of us willingly and even involuntarily close them. Pain, offense, anger, trauma are just a few of the reasons why people do this. Those negative emotions and experiences have a tendency to form a filter that we may then begin to see through. This filter obstructs our…

The Gift of a Hummingbird
I saw my first hummingbird of the year the other morning. I was starting think they weren’t going to show up this season, but I kept putting the nectar out, even though I felt a little silly. If you know me, you know I love birds, especially hummingbirds. I love them so much, I’ll continue…

The Gift of a God Who Reads
On May 20th, 2023, I began a new journey—prayer journaling. I felt strongly God was trying to get me to start recording my prayers, so that’s exactly what I did. Something magical happens when we record something; it becomes more tangible, more real. We are able to go back in time and visibly see the…

The Gift of What God Gives
I recently spent the afternoon with some ducks at Strawberry Patch Park. As I fed them, I watched them each race to get the bite of food. I had plenty for them all, but they didn’t know that. Instead of slowing down to enjoy their meal, they saw the experience as a competition. It frustrated…

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 God’s Steadfast Love
Every time I pass Olive Street, I’m reminded of the resiliency of the olive tree. Olive trees are extraordinarily tough, equipped to handle subzero temperatures, drought, frost, and even fire. Their roots are so strong they can regrow even when it seems there is no visible hope. In a way, God’s love for us is…
