Glory in the Heavens
I love it when creation speaks to us…when something in the sky or the world around us points us back to the One who made it all. And I love how the awe we feel in those moments draws us closer to our God…the One who designed those heavens and each one of us as…

Trust
In this season of my life, I’ve been stepping forth in faith without much clarity as to where the path is taking me.

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. Almost all result in deeper discovery about the precept of faith that emerges from the photo or thought.
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!
