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…

The Gift of Three Years
I bought a blue and pink painted piece of Quartz to commemorate a very special anniversary—the three year anniversary to be exact—at my current job as a PPEC nurse. The blue and pink represents all the baby boys and girls that have touched my heart. I’ve learned a few things since working at this job.…

The Gift of an Author Named God
The most beautiful things in life we can’t plan for. Sometimes I struggle with this; sometimes this is a hard pill for me to swallow. If I can’t plan, then I can’t know, and if I can’t know, then I have to surrender control. There’s something beautiful about not knowing though, isn’t there? Who wants…

The Gift of God’s Light: Finding Peace and Rest in a Chaotic World
There’s nothing quite like resting in the presence of God. When our physical bodies sleep, they rest in darkness, but our spiritual bodies find true rest in God’s light. Have you ever gotten plenty of sleep yet woken up exhausted? Other times, you’ll get too little sleep yet feel pretty great the next morning. Why…
