He Delivers Me
Storms are inevitable in life…both literally and figuratively…and the storms that hit us personally and professionally give us an opportunity to grow our faith, to trust even more, to depend even more, and to ultimately release even more.

The Creative Process
Each poem starts with an inspiration – could be a photo that triggers a thought, a thought that then matches to a photo, or a yearning from Scripture that then results in the pursuit of a photo that matches with it.

Many of the core elements of faith end up in multiple inspirations and thus multiple poems as a result.
All of the poems are drafted and then set aside, and when I return to them, the inspiration from the beginning is either affirmed and the poem then finalized, or I’ll make significant edits based on where the Spirit leads me in that revisit.
I get great joy in the creation process, and I smile when I feel like the poem captures the thought put on my heart in the exact way I felt inspired with it.
That’s not always the case, but I love it when it happens that way!
