It’s that week again! The special fifth week of the month of May. This poem came from a series of dreams I had earlier this week. In every dream I kept trying to find myself in the story. Why was I there? What was my purpose? In some dream sequences, I was on a stage…

This poem focuses in on the fear of the Lord. Proverbs 1:7 states that the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom. Some questions often come to my mind when I hear this. Is this fear a reverence that brings us closer to God? Or do we become terrified of him? As you…

The wind often reminds me that the most wonderful things in this world are those things that cannot be seen. I’ve learned that fear of the Lord doesn’t mean literally fearing Him, rather we must stand in awe of Him. In reverence to Him for creating such incredible things, like the wind. Like life. May…

I often forget and need constant reminding that God’s way is better than mine. That he wants our good. And that what we think is good is not always. We lack perspective, and can only see a brief moment of eternity. This poem is one of those reminders, “That the fear of the Lord is…

When I was thinking about Proverbs 1 and what wisdom means in a biblical context, I started praying to God to show me how to search for wisdom. We can just ask for it outright, but sometimes even that is difficult to do when you believe you have it all figured out. The authenticity of…

Take note of the world around you. Sometimes we don’t slow down enough to feel. To think. Right now, take a deep breath. Feel the temperature around you. The surface underneath your sensitive fingertips. What is real? What is fabricated? When I read Proverbs 1, for some reason, I thought of fake truths. I know…

This poem came from my meditation on Jonah 2:7-8. Jonah states, “When my life was fainting away, I remembered the LORD, and my prayer came to you, into your holy temple. Those who pay regard to vain idols forsake their hope of steadfast love.” As Christians, we are the temple of the Holy Spirit when…

There’s a small toy I used to make back in elementary school called a thaumatrope (that’s the official term). I used to call it a “spinny thing”. I would paint a bird or spell a word out on either side of a piece of paper, attach it to a string or stick, then spin it…

In Jonah 2, Jonah describes the feeling of drowning and hopelessness he felt when he was thrown from the ship headed to Tarshish. In verse 5 he says to the Lord, “The waters closed in over me to take my life; the deep surrounded me; weeds were wrapped about my head.” And as his life…

This month we are studying Jonah chapter 2. Jonah is an interesting character because he is placed in a very hopeless situation. I don’t know about you, but being swallowed by a whale or large fish sounds like a nightmare. However, God allowed it because He was teaching Jonah a lesson on obedience and He…
