The Gift of an Almighty Healer
It was 4:57—three minutes before five o’clock pm which meant it was three minutes before I’d clock out and head out the door to go home. It was then and only then she started to cry, this little girl not even three years old. Tears streamed down her face, and her nose ran. I should […]

The Gift of God’s Protection
I have a list of my passwords for all my different accounts. If one were to obtain this list, they would see that my longest and strongest password is for this blog. Everything I create is precious to me, and I take good care of it. I protect it. God too puts a password on […]

The Gift of a Dozen Reasons
I walked outside and saw the sun shining big and bright. I felt it’s warm rays on my skin, and everything was right. I heard the song of a blue jay from high up in a tree. I saw it get up and fly away and felt grateful I too was free. I saw the […]

Wisdom holds a very similar definition, but it necessitates being dependent on God, because God is sovereign. True freedom comes from depending on one source—God. Freedom doesn’t come […]

The Gift of the Little Things
He tried his best to get those two little blocks to fit together, but just couldn’t do it. He began to cry and throw a tantrum right there on the floor. My heart broke as I wanted so badly to just do it for him. My aide said gently but firmly,“Don’t do it, Kamille. He […]

The Gift of Gratitude: Counting Our Blessings
I remember the first time I came here. It was a time before I really knew who I was, but God was in the process of showing me. (He still is!) As a rock collector, seeing all these rocks has always sparked joy inside of me. I still come here all the time. I guess […]

The Gift of Prayer: Life Lessons From a Ladybug
The sermon at church today was one I won’t ever forget. Our pastor preached on a topic very near and dear to my heart, as it should be to anyone who desires a relationship with God. He talked about prayer. There were three key instructions he gave us today related to prayer. The first one […]
