All praise to God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly realms because we are united with Christ. –Ephesians 1:3, NLT If my soul could be set in staff, the notes and rhythms of my heart recorded just when the stings of emotion pullContinue reading “Soli Deo Gloria”

Abundance
The faithful love of the Lord never ends! His mercies never cease. Great is His faithfulness; His mercies begin afresh each morning. I say to myself, “The Lord is my inheritance; therefore, I will hope in Him!” — Lamentations 3:22-24, NLT Walk fully into moments, slow down and saturate yourself with sensory perception, and soakContinue reading “Abundance”
This Joy
This joy pushes at my skin, leaves my heart fluttering in breathless wonder — I am allowed to create; so, may I write in humility, a beautiful lowliness, the recognition that I am a created being guarded by the Almighty, shaped by His hands, safe in His arms, one through Jesus.

The Artist
A moonbeam rides along the angled roof and sits in the hollows under eaves outside my window as I consider starlight in drifts, like mist blown on ink.
