Cherished Christmas Traditions Become Legacies

Last updated on: December 9, 2023 at 12:53 pm   By Teresa Nichols

The Christmas season is upon us! It’s a time for faith, family and traditions to come together in celebration of the birth of Jesus. The traditions that we have made as a family over many Christmas seasons, may one day become our legacies. With that said,  my greatest hope is that our family will carry on in the faith, and share the truth of Jesus, throughout every generation to come! Together, may we proclaim the gospel of Luke 2:14; “Glory... Read more

Called to Be Ambassadors for Christ & to Spread the Good News of the Gospel

Last updated on: November 29, 2023 at 12:43 pm   By Teresa Nichols

0 Comments

Have you ever thought about what it means to be an ambassador or messenger for Christ? It’s a subject that has been on my mind, so I’m diving in to get some answers for myself, and you, if you’re interested. My Bible study time has randomly led me to several different areas in scripture where God uses messengers to prepare the way for Jesus. Reading those accounts has me thinking about the calling on my life. What does it really... Read more

What Would Jesus Say If He Was Seated at Our Table for Thanksgiving?

Last updated on: November 29, 2023 at 12:32 pm   By Teresa Nichols

Thanksgiving week has my thoughts gearing up to write about the many blessings in my life. While this is probably the expected direction to take, my mind is also pondering a different perspective altogether. It in no way changes the fact that I have boundless things in which to give thanks for in my life, and I do! My gratitude is poured out abundantly all throughout the year. This Thanksgiving, however, I’d like to challenge you with the same question... Read more

Jesus Loves You: Accepting the Concept of Unconditional Love

Last updated on: November 29, 2023 at 1:00 pm   By Teresa Nichols

0 Comments

Jesus Loves You! The simple truth of those three words is something that I hope to share across the world, in a way that people can truly resonate with. Consequently, I realize that it is also one of the hardest concepts for most people to believe. You see, in saying this, you need to know that I am not just trying to reach a person who does not believe in Jesus yet. On the contrary, I am also speaking directly... Read more

God has blessed my life tremendously, of that there is no doubt. In order to share proof of that statement, it is necessary for me to share some of my business background and experience. It’s important that you know that in doing so, my purpose is not to build myself up in your eyes. Instead, it is so that I can give God the praise for all that He has allowed me to accomplish thus far, while knowing He’s not... Read more

For Such A Time As This: Seeking Purpose and Pursuing Dreams; Part 3 in the Uniquely Constructed Series

Last updated on: November 29, 2023 at 1:02 pm   By Teresa Nichols

0 Comments

In recent years, I have admittedly given much more thought to seeking my purpose, and pursuing my dreams. Perhaps the realization that I am not getting any younger, is contributing to the sense of urgency I feel about it now. It would certainly make sense that my age is a factor, and I’m not getting any younger, for sure! When I first took steps toward the dreams of writing in 2019, I had no idea where God might lead, but... Read more

  Literal decades of my life have passed me by, and I wonder where the time has gone. It seems like I blinked and went from my twenties to my fifties, and I assure you it has passed too quickly! During these years, I struggled to maintain balance while juggling so many different things at once. I wholeheartedly know the importance of finding balance in my faith, family and careers, but can admit that it is extremely challenging at times.... Read more

Welcome to Uniquely Constructed where faith, family, career, and purpose intertwine to show God’s faithfulness in my life! My name is Teresa, and I am thrilled to embark on this opportunity to write a column. Literal decades have passed with a single dream simmering on the backburner of my mind, biding its time, and waiting on God’s timing to be revealed. Raising a family, homeschooling children, and owning and operating a construction business alongside my husband throughout the years, left... Read more
