The Gift of God’s Love
And so we know and rely on the love God has for us. God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God and God in them. (1 John 4:16) The best advice I could probably ever give someone is to learn how to see people through the lens of Christ, through a “love-tinted glass”…

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 Your Glow
Lately I’ve been on a sunless tanning journey. When I realized my old foundation powder no longer matched my skin tone, I decided to make a trip to the makeup store. I quickly grabbed a couple of shades of powder and made a beeline to the first employee I saw who wasn’t already helping someone—a…

The Gift of Being a Woman
Women’s Day is right around the corner, and I’ve been thinking lately about what it means to be a woman. A woman at her best is driven by love not leadership, peace not power, connection not control. This doesn’t mean women can’t be leaders, but it shouldn’t be her driving force nor her end goal.…

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 God’s Glory
Someone said something in our Bible study group recently. “We are not the main characters; if anything, we are just extras.” For a moment, that stung a little. Then I quickly realized that was the human in me. We as humans all desire to be the main character, to be chosen, to be glorified in…

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…

The Gift of Emotional Healing
The other day, I came into work and noticed a beautiful bright purple book on my desk. “Beauty for Ashes” by Joyce Meyer was given to me by a coworker. Healing comes in many forms; it’s not always physical. As a nurse, I have to keep in mind that healing our hearts is just as…
