The Gift of Picture Perfect Peace
What is your idea of the picture-perfect life? Married with children before the age of 30? A house, completely paid for, on a big chunk of land out in the country with a white picket fence? The perfect body? That dream job that you enjoy and also pays well? The freedom to choose when to…

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 Heart Hidden in God

The Gift of a Woman’s Joy

The Gift of Love in a Dark Place
“If you ever find yourself in a dark place, look closely; you may just be the light.” -unknown God grows us all in a dark place. It’s in the darkness, we are able to find our light, God’s light. A seedling burrowed deep inside the soil, a caterpillar inside a cocoon, a baby in it’s…
