To the Bearer of All Things
Thank You, Oh King, for holding us in Your heart and Your ways, even when we can barely hold ourselves; Maybe especially then, when it’s hard to feel, but one moment of considering reveals we would fail to even exist without You.

A Place to Stand
How lost I become when I hear the monsters in my sleep and their voices creep into my ears, as if the shadows lurking in every dark corner wait for an opening in a vulnerable heart, and relish the chance to destroy from the inside with the endless tricks of my own mind. They turn Continue reading

My soul longs to sing Your name upon the wind with a kiss of sweetness left by Your Spirit in me, that all who breathe the clear morning air would know You in an instant and see in splendorous color all evidence of Your hand and Your sacred heart, unable to resist Your beckoning arms of serene belonging and perfect love Continue reading
