Women, Wait for the one who loves the Lord more than you. Wait for the one who will never leave you confused, wondering where you stand. Wait for the one who will never abandon nor give up on you. Wait for the one who takes better care of you than his most prized possession. Wait…

The Gift of a Rose: Learning We are Worthy of Love
“The rose is a rose from the time it is a seed to the time it dies. Within it, at all times, it contains its whole potential. It seems to constantly be in the process of change; yet at each state, at each moment, it is perfectly alright as it is.” Paulo Coelho When I…

The Gift of Friendship
It was about halfway through our vegetarian fajitas, on a Saturday night. I reached into my purse, pulled out a card, and handed it to my friend. The card read “Always believe something wonderful is about to happen.” In the card was a quote I had written inside. I am subscribed to receive a daily…

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.…

The Gift of a Childlike Faith
Once upon a time there was a little girl. She was absolutely terrified of bad weather—thunder, lightening, and especially tornados. One spring night, tornado warnings flooded the television as a storm raged outside the windows of her home. In the midst of the storm, the little girl fell asleep. When she woke up, she was…
