The Gift of Peacemakers: Peace is in Your Hands
What makes you feel at peace? For me, it’s pretty simple—I love creating. When I stop creating, I soon start to feel different in my spirit. I was made to create, whether that be a painting, a book, a poem, a home, or even peace itself. Recently during a podcast, the host began to speak…

The Gift of Peace: Realizing God’s Timing is Perfect
It was around one o’clock am when Sassy and I were abruptly awoken by a crash coming from my kitchen. A leak from upstairs had led to a progressive weakening in the integrity of my ceiling. By that time, the leak had been fixed, but the damage had already been done. Earlier that day, just…

The Gift of an Empty Wall: Finding Peace in the Unfinished
I sat and stared at my empty wall, the wall of my dining room that had once been occupied by a giant green forest tapestry. Like many things I’ve loved, I grew out of it and began to feel as if it were time for something new. God’s been teaching me lately to be at…

The Gift of Patience: Joy in Waiting
This is a tree from the neighborhood of my childhood, adolescence, and adulthood. It’s seen me as a young girl riding bikes with my best friend and playing on its playground.

The Gift of the Second Cup
“The Good and Beautiful Bible Study” is my newest little treasure. It’s a devotional series which combines art elements with Scripture. Today’s reading was about the woman who anointed Jesus. She broke open a very expensive bottle of perfume and washed Jesus’ feet with it. She was seen as wasteful by everyone who witnessed the…

The Gift of Joy: Trading Anxiety For Gratitude
I recently hit my 200th blog post, and it’s inspired me to write about gratitude which is one of the themes of kamillegrace.com. Truthfully, my blog wouldn’t even exist if I had listened to that voice in my head, the one that told me no one would care what I had to say, and I…

The Gift of Joy: a Story About Faith
My heart sank when I drove passed the wildflower garden a few weeks ago and saw nothing but tall grass, and it sank even further when my mom confirmed that’s all she saw as well. I had been looking forward to my visit since winter. For some reason though, those little flowers just didn’t appear…

The Gift of Joy: Changing Your Perspective
See all those colorful wildflowers? For months leading up to that morning, nothing but grass filled the entire field. Rain, ice, snow, and eventually the hot sun all came before the beautiful, color filled field of wildflowers. That field was always a garden; it simply wasn’t in season. According to my perspective, that field was…
