The Gift of Living Water
The name hydrangea comes from the Ancient Greek words for ‘water vessel’, ‘hydor’ and ‘angos’. This was chosen as the seed capsules on hydrangeas resemble cups. However, it’s a fitting name in another way—hydrangeas love water, and they tend to be quite thirsty. We as human beings have a certain likeness to that thirsty flower.…

The Gift of Grief: If Blue Were a Person (Part II)
In 2024, I experienced my fair share of grief, but thankfully, grief looks a lot different than it once did. When my father passed, I was a young woman, but mentally, I was still very much a child, and I handled grief a lot differently than I do now. The beautiful thing about grief is…

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 Your God-Given Voice
I spent many years of my life in silence. I don’t mean physical but rather spiritual silence, and my spirit longed to be heard. See, you can talk all day long, but if you aren’t speaking the way God designed you to speak, to those who are capable of hearing, you might as well be…

The Gift of an Empty Cup
We all want to be filled. That’s why we go to church, isn’t it? That’s why we listen to worship music. That’s why we listen to podcasts, sermons, and that’s why we read books. We are always looking to be filled. How many of us, though, are remembering to pour? We must pour out to…

The Gift of Your Purpose
I had a dream. I was walking down the street in a familiar neighborhood with a bouquet of flowers in my hand. As I looked at this bouquet of flowers, I thought to myself, “These flowers are so beautiful, and I know just what to do with them. I’ll take them home, let them dry…
