The Gift of Surrender: Go Where You Grow
This is my baby rubber plant. It doesn’t look so much like a baby anymore, does it? Over the years, I noticed the more it grew, the more it began to lean over. This used to really frustrate me, and I kept trying to get it to stand upright. Finally, I surrendered, and when I…

The Gift of a Hidden Thing
It is the glory of God to conceal a thing, and the glory of kings is to search it out. (Proverbs 25:2) A friend and I decided to do an “escape room” recently, and we had so much fun! One of the rules to the game was that we must go into the room with…

The Gift of a Bad Day
I met someone online recently. Well, we didn’t exactly meet, but we FaceTimed for hours. This man was too good to be true, everything I thought I was looking for. The day after our little phone date, I woke up early as usual and curled up in my prayer chair with my favorite blanket and…

The Gift of Sharing Treasure
It all started when the sweet little old lady next door decided to share with me one of her best kept secrets—a nearby laundry room for the residents in our area, much cheaper than any laundromat around. Although it wasn’t exactly a secret, I had no idea about it until she decided to share it…

The Gift of What God Builds
There came a point in my life where I had to be torn down so I could be rebuilt. I came to understand that my life was meaningless and empty without the belief that I had pleased God and made Him proud. I had to come to a realization that I couldn’t honestly say I…

The Gift of God’s Grocery Store
God is the source of everything we need to nourish us, to survive. He is the source of our spiritual (as well as our physical) fruits. There’s something very important He needs, though, in order for us to receive our goods—He needs us to come to Him and ask for them. I love to be…

The Gift of Seeing Magenta
It was Saturday, and I couldn’t wait to get my day started. As I made my way to the car after dropping off a nice fat check to my CPA, I stopped in my tracks when I saw a beautiful magenta plant spread out against the backdrop of a bright gray sky. How does one…
