The Gift of Your Name: It Won’t Be Cut Off
One of my favorite parts of creating is the process of naming my work. Often times, I will have the name of the work decided before I even begin. Much like this process, God also knew our names before He created us. Names are special to God. Names are special to me as well; they…

The Gift of Good Medicine
A joyful heart is good medicine, but a broken spirit dries up the bones. (Proverbs 17:22) This verse has been ringing my ears these days. What exactly is a joyful heart, and why does God tell us it’s good medicine? Like any good medicine, we must go to the doctor to receive it. In order…

The Gift of God’s Love: We Protect What We Pay For
Recently after picking up my groceries, I noticed something when I arrived back home. The delivery person had placed my case of drinks onto the floorboard, and directly beneath them were my bananas. You would think this is basic grocery delivery knowledge—not to load groceries in this way, but the truth is, often times people…

The Gift of the Empty Page: Falling in Love With God
Have you ever been in a relationship and realized it wasn’t real love? Maybe you loved the person but came to the conclusion you weren’t “in love” with them. In relationships like this, often times one of the two of us (or both of us) need the other more than we love them. Often times,…

The Gift of Watermelon: Cutting Into Your Purpose
I stood in the produce section at the grocery store in front of a large cardboard box filled with watermelons. I couldn’t bring myself to pick one. Every single watermelon I had picked this summer had been mediocre at best. Finally I gave in, picked one, and brought it home. I didn’t feel moved to…

Do you ever have one of those moments or maybe even a season where you find yourself begging God to reveal Himself in a bigger way? I’ve found myself recently in one of those seasons. I’ve found myself in a season where I long to be as close to God as humanly possible, and I’m…

The Gift of Life Made Beautiful
What is it that makes life beautiful? It’s not only the beautiful things or even the beautiful people that color our lives, but rather, what we have chosen to create from the mess thrown at us. A lot has been thrown at me in 2024; I’ve faced trials I never imagined I would, but I…

The Gift of Peace: Choosing Confrontation Over Comfortability
Sometimes confrontation must come before peace—whether it be a person (with compassion), a situation, a trauma, or even a dream. We must refuse to run away from conflict and instead, choose to face things, face people, no matter how uncomfortable it may be in the moment. This is how we find peace. There’s a difference…

The Gift of Peace: God is Bigger Than the Storm
I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world. (John 16:33) The thing about life is this, as bleak as it may sound, no one gets out alive, and no one gets through it without their own…

The Gift of Peace and Pretty Things
Life has been heavy lately. My ceiling falling in on my kitchen was nothing but the cherry on top of the cake. While the maintenance crew began to create for me a new ceiling, I decided to do some creating of my own. I had a craving for soft and light colors, blues and purples.…
