My poem for this week is based on Genesis 1 in the bible. I often forget how separate from God we were, and the miracle it is to have been brought back into relationship with him. I pray that this poem causes you to think more about the friend we have in Jesus and brings…

I wasn’t sure how I wanted to end this story at first. Like many writers, I had grown close to the characters, especially Ruthie. I wanted her story to reflect God’s work in our lives. That even in our darkest times, our times of doubt, God is with us. He is a friend to us…

When it comes to friendship that lasts a lifetime. There is two things that are indispensable. Forgiveness and trust in God. Over the past few years I have had struggles within various friendships. Where I had been wronged and was also the one who wronged. And I learned there is always a shared responsibility in…

For this week I am reposting a poem that I wrote a few years ago titled the Peace Tree. A poem that reminded me to cease striving and to just receive God’s peace. As it was meant for me. And it is meant for us all who believe in Jesus. So if fear has overtaken…

We don’t always know where our own hearts lie. We lie to ourselves to feel better about the things we do and feel. These past few years, I’ve had to reconcile those parts of me that were falsehoods. Lies I told myself. That brought “peace” in the moment, but destruction and confusion later. Sometimes we’re…

The topic for this month is Peace. In John 14:27 Jesus tells his disciples “Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid.” One of the Pastors from my church says this…
