March 17, 2020
Philippians 1:6 says, “And I am sure of this, that he who began a good work in you will bring it to completion at the day of Jesus Christ.” So, if a hallelujah can still pass these lips Like a cry of redemption from the bottomless pit If the broken pieces still continue to fit … More Philippians 1:6
Let There Be Light
November 25, 2019
We start with nothing. And then, the cataclysm of creation, From void to holy formation, God constructs the first foundation With four small words Let There Be Light And while the beginning is perfect We bear cracks on the surface. Stacks of missed marks And broken hearts And the fear of forever Forever falling apart. … More Let There Be Light

I think there’s probably more for you. I think that the God who dreamed up Tides and mountains and the solar system Hasn’t used up all of His creativity. I think your mistakes are forgiven.

Knocking

I’m knocking on the door Like you’ve told me to do The salt and sand are rising up I’ll drown or I’ll break through I’m knocking on the door Like I’ve done again and again I’ve grown quite good at knocking Are you there to let me in I’m knocking on the door With concentrated … More Knocking
Faith and the Struggle of Thinking
January 10, 2019
When I pray, your promises feel inevitable Simply claiming the desires of my heart Reminds me that it’s good to dream It affirms that you’re doing a good work in me That you have plans for me You teach me things about yourself By putting the words in my mouth I’ve prayed truths about you … More Faith and the Struggle of Thinking
