The Gift of a Songbird
During my walk the other morning, I heard the voice of a songbird somewhere in the midst of the bare trees hovering above me. I began to notice how every branch was a part of something bigger than itself—the trunk. The branches reminded me a lot of blood vessels. Blood vessels are channels that transport…

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 a Dozen More
I walked outside and saw the sun shining once again. It reminded me of all the joy you gave to me back then. . I saw two blue jays fly above me, and then I thought of you. Because the birds flew just like angels, and your eyes were the color blue. . The tree…

When I look at God’s creation in all its beauty and glory, I remember that the very same God that created it all also created me.…

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 Remembering
My long term memory is quite vivid, and this is both a blessing and potentially a curse. As I’ve gotten older, I can fortunately say it’s much more a blessing. We all have the power to choose, to choose what we focus on and dwell on. I made the choice a long time ago to…

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 the Narrow Path
Narrow is the path that leads to life, and few will find it. (Matthew 7:14) Jesus tells us the path is wide that leads to destruction. It appears that the wide path is the easy path. The narrow path is paved with denial of self, hardships, and testing of your faith. But along with the…
