The Gift of a Faith-Filled Morning
It all comes down to faith, doesn’t it? I wasn’t sure what God would have me write about, paint about that day, but I had faith He would show me. As I sat down that morning to read the last chapter of the book of Samuel, I soon realized faith was the very thing God…

The Gift of Change: Melting an Ice Cold Heart
The other day, I was filling up my water bottle with ice and noticed some of my ice cubes had began to clump together. I picked up a chunk and realized it couldn’t possibly fit in my bottle. “It just needs to melt a little bit.” I told myself. As I looked at it, I…

The Gift of Rejection
I often pray a particular prayer. “God please remove those who are not called to my life. God please keep me from wasting my time on someone or something that isn’t meant to be.” God has always been faithfully consistent in answering that prayer though it doesn’t always feel good. The truth is though I…

The Gift of Such a Time as This
For if you remain silent at this time, relief and deliverance for the Jews will arise from another place, but you and your father’s family will perish. And who knows but that you have come to your royal position for such a time as this. (Esther 4:14) I believe we were all meant for the…

The Gift of a God Who is Greater
My Bible study group is beginning a new book. As we were looking over it together, I found myself becoming more aware of my human-ness. It’s one thing to know that we are human; it’s something else entirely when you feel it, accept it, and allow yourself to live in it. I’ve always struggled with…

The Gift of a Woman’s Joy
Lately, I’ve really been enjoying my floral finger painting. It’s really brought out two sides of my personality that are precious to me—my femininity as well as my inner-child. “Some days, you just have to take off work, put on some classical music and paint some flowers.” I told myself, and that’s exactly what I…

The Gift of Loving Lavender
I have a closet full of bright, bold colors; they have always made me feel alive and confident. As I was getting ready for church one morning recently, I noticed a sweater at the back of my closet for the first time in a long time—soft, delicate, and lavender with flowers on it. I remembered…

The Gift of Choosing
It’s what we all want, isn’t it? To have our cake and eat it too. We want to have one foot in the world and one foot in Heaven, but we simply cannot. We can’t serve two Gods. Sin leads to consequences and pain; we know this as Christians. This isn’t “punishment” but a “reaping”…

The Gift of God’s Fingerprint
I added a song to my worship playlist recently, and I’m loving it! “Fingerprints” by Abi Bennett. You gave Your life; now I am fully alive. You spoke Your truth and tore down all my walls. My life has the fingerprints of Christ. Be magnified through me. The lyrics to this song inspired me to…

The Gift of Being You: It’s OK to be Weird
There’s a precious lady I work with, and I love her dearly. She’s energetic, kind, and yes, a bit weird! I myself am quite the weirdo, so I guess that’s one of the things that makes her so relatable. Followers of Jesus are called to be a little weird; we are called to stand out…
