Pondering The Poetic Heart
Pondering the Poetic Heart is a place to guide our spirits into place of contemplative rest. As a poet, I long to encourage you to find hope and healing through the process of reflecting on God, love, life, and all things that capture the spirit through the written word.
In the month of November, I will lead us through a time of thanksgiving through my 30 Days of Thanksgiving Poems. In December we will ring the bells of Christmas. There will also be other times through the year when we will celebrate love, just for fun poetry, and more. I pray this will be a place of loving contentment for all of us.
Candle’s Glow
God’s Word is a “lamp unto our feet and a light unto our path” (Psalm 119:105). I pray we all feel the warmth of God’s light upon us this holiday season.
What Love is This?
“I’m asking God to give you a gift from the wealth of his glory. I pray that he would give you inner strength and power through his Spirit. 17 Then Christ will live in you through faith. I also pray that love may be the ground into which you sink your roots and on which you have your foundation. 18 This way, with all of God’s people you will be able to understand how wide, long, high, and deep his love is. 19 You will know Christ’s love, which goes far beyond any knowledge. I am praying this so that you may be completely filled with God.” Ephesians 3:16-19
I Don’t Want to Miss a Thing
We’re so busy these days it is hard to remain in the present. But maybe, just maybe, this year we put down the phones, turn off the TV, and spend some time with Jesus and our families.
In the Waiting
Waiting is hard. Especially when it feels like nothing will ever change. But God is always with us and will help us through every season of change and waiting. We just need to remember to give Him thanks for the good and the hard days.
Times & Seasons
Today I’m reflecting on the gift of time. Although sometimes we feel it is going too slow, or we’re running out of time, we know with God there is a season for everything and in His time all things become beautiful.
Finding Quiet Refuge
Where do you hide your heart? Finding a quiet place in the chaos of this world.
An Exceptional Thanksgiving
Today I share one of my favorite Thanksgiving poems. What do we do when it is hard to be thankful?
The Shadows of Fall
