The Gift of Your Name
I used to hate my name. When I was a little girl, I wished my name were Jessica. Why? Because it was popular, and I hated being different. As I grew older, I learned to not only tolerate my name but love it. I love being different; I love being unique. Maybe you have a […]

The Gift of a Wife: Becoming the Proverbs 31 Woman
He who finds a wife finds a good thing. (Proverbs 18:22) What makes a wife? A wedding ceremony, a ring on your finger, a shared bank account and living space? I want to make a bit of an ironic claim: The “Proverbs 31 woman” was a wife before she had a husband and would have […]

The Gift of an Unanswered Prayer
“God answers prayers in three different ways: yes, not yet, I have something better in mind.” Unknown When I was in my mid twenties, I thought I was in love. I’ve never prayed so hard for someone to stay in my life, and I never will again. It was never God’s will for this person […]

The Gift of an Answered Prayer
An answered prayer is an opportunity for God to show us His love and goodness.

The Gift of Your Prayer Place

The Gift of Friendship
It was about halfway through our vegetarian fajitas, on a Saturday night. I reached into my purse, pulled out a card, and handed it to my friend. The card read “Always believe something wonderful is about to happen.” In the card was a quote I had written inside. I am subscribed to receive a daily […]

The Gift of Rest
Come to me, and I will give you rest. (Matthew 11:28) God had been trying to reach me lately, but I ignored His calls. Between work, day to day chores, errands, church, small group activities, my blog, social media—I’ve been putting a couple of very important things on the back burner: God and rest. The […]

The Gift of True Love: Letting Go of the Fairytail
It’s beautiful, isn’t it? This picture is like something straight out of a fairytale. As I made my way around this beautiful garden, I began to think about how amazing it would be to share this with someone. These desires inspired me to write about something that is very much everything— true love. True love […]

The Gift of a Childlike Faith
Once upon a time there was a little girl. She was absolutely terrified of bad weather—thunder, lightening, and especially tornados. One spring night, tornado warnings flooded the television as a storm raged outside the windows of her home. In the midst of the storm, the little girl fell asleep. When she woke up, she was […]
