The Gift of Green Leaves
There was something magical about standing there beneath the canopy of bright green leaves. They were so vivid, so green.

The Gift of God’s Light: To Be a Candlestick
Uncle Carl was less like an Uncle and more like a big brother. I remember as a little girl thinking my godfather was the coolest person in the whole world. He had his own room downstairs at Maw-maw’s house, and he had the whole floor to himself. He listened to the radio down there, and…

What makes you feel at peace? For me, it’s pretty simple—I love creating. When I stop creating, I soon start to feel different in my spirit. I was made to create, whether that be a painting, a book, a poem, a home, or even peace itself. Recently during a podcast, the host began to speak…

The Gift of Peace: Realizing God’s Timing is Perfect
It was around one o’clock am when Sassy and I were abruptly awoken by a crash coming from my kitchen. A leak from upstairs had led to a progressive weakening in the integrity of my ceiling. By that time, the leak had been fixed, but the damage had already been done. Earlier that day, just…

The Gift of an Empty Wall: Finding Peace in the Unfinished
I sat and stared at my empty wall, the wall of my dining room that had once been occupied by a giant green forest tapestry. Like many things I’ve loved, I grew out of it and began to feel as if it were time for something new. God’s been teaching me lately to be at…
