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 Color
My all time favorite question to ask someone has always been “What’s your favorite color?” Someone’s favorite color says so much about them. I have the hardest time choosing just one, and I used to really dislike that about myself. I’ve learned to love and accept that little quirk. Maybe, it’s the artist in me.…

The Gift of Authenticity: Letting Go of Your Image
Authenticity is about letting go of our images in the mirror. Instead of looking outward at our reflections, we must learn to look inward and see our reflections in God’s eyes. It’s not that we should neglect our appearances. I put some effort into my appearance every day. I make sure I look put together…

The Gift of Rain
In the midst of all the storms lately, I have been thinking about the gift of rain. Without rain, the flower will never grow. Without rain, we cannot truly appreciate sunshine. Without rain, we cannot have the rainbow. Hardships, like rain, serve a purpose—without experiencing them, we will not learn how to overcome them. Without…

The Gift of Being Alive: Blooming Where God Plants You
Sometimes, God will call us to bloom in the most unlikely of places. The really beautiful thing about this photo is the fact that someone took a tree stump, a dead thing, and put life in it. As Christians, we too are often called to bring light, life, into dark places. Flowers don’t refuse to…

The Gift of Prayer: Life Lessons From a Ladybug
The sermon at church today was one I won’t ever forget. Our pastor preached on a topic very near and dear to my heart, as it should be to anyone who desires a relationship with God. He talked about prayer. There were three key instructions he gave us today related to prayer. The first one…

The Gift of Your God-Given Assignment
Your divine assignment is the progressive unraveling and attainment of your primary calling in life. It is blessing the world with the worth and quality of your personhood and attracting others to follow your inspiration. (Psalm 139:15-16) As Christians, we all have a purpose here on this earth—to build our relationship with Christ, to minister…

The Gift of Joy: It’s in the Palm of Your Hand
The joy of the Lord is your strength. (Nehemiah 8:10) The other day, I noticed a beautiful, bright pink flower lying on the ground. I picked it up and held it in the palm of my hand. Its beauty lifted my spirit and brought joy to my heart. What many fail to realize is that…

The Gift of God’s Guidance
There is no rock like our God. (1 Samuel 2:2) I took a long walk yesterday to one of my favorite hiding places. I picked up several rocks that caught my eye and found a place to stack them. A cairn is a set of stones set up as a marker, monument, or memorial of…
