about Forgiveness

March 23, 2013 ~ Kim Blenkhorn ~ Leave a comment

How often I pray, i confess my sins, i forgive those who have hurt me. My list contains all the names and faces of those i know, mother, father, husband, friend, sister. How often i come before the throne dragging my complaints behind me in a burlap sack. I plant them at the feet of … Continue reading about Forgiveness

In the Name of the King

March 23, 2013March 24, 2013 ~ Kim Blenkhorn ~ Leave a comment

no matter how long I have walked with Jesus, He never ceases to reveal something new to my fragile soul.  An ancient truth passed over many times scattered on the floor of my heart like un-chosen clothes until the proper occasion arises, and there it is ; there He is, holding this timeless precious idea … Continue reading In the Name of the King

Not the Best at Everything

March 7, 2013 ~ Kim Blenkhorn ~ Leave a comment

a friend of mine recently said to me, "you can't be the best at everything." i realize something very important a few nights after that amazing quote.  I will never be a singer. It is highly unlikely i will ever perform on stage, i will never cut a record and i will never get paid … Continue reading Not the Best at Everything

The Daniel Fast

March 4, 2013March 4, 2013 ~ Kim Blenkhorn ~ Leave a comment

The book I am using as a guide through a 21 day Daniel fast. I am starting this fast one week from yesterday. This will be my second time on this fast. I hope to be more disciplined on this fast then previously. Fasting was and is used as a means to humble and purify … Continue reading The Daniel Fast

The Answer is a Question

March 1, 2013March 2, 2013 ~ Kim Blenkhorn ~ 3 Comments

My dear friend asked me, “why did you start a blog?” she resurrected the silent voices that kept me from starting a public blog for so long.  I didn’t know how to respond, except “ I just want a place to put all my words and thoughts and maybe encourage other people?” I wasn’t sure … Continue reading The Answer is a Question

A Coming of Age Story |  Kim Blenkhorn 

A Coming of Age Story |  Kim Blenkhorn 

Chris was my first love. I was 6. Our relationship was innocent, hauntingly delicate and charming in its own way. His mother married my father. I was a visitor on the weekends and he was a full time resident. He was my first kiss,  In the basement under the watchful eyes of three curious older […]

Revealed – Part II | I Samuel 16

Revealed –  Part II | I Samuel 16

God chooses a King after his own Heart. David is revealed.  Saul’s character is fully matured. Saul is Revealed.  David is the anointed king in the midst of his brothers. This small detail is significant. David is a type of Messiah, being the predecessor to Jesus, as the Son of David. The scene is dramatic. […]

The  Room of Important Things 

The  Room of Important Things 

That room containing all the versions of myself in fragments of stuff sits there untouched week after week. Silent, waiting. looming over me like a giant to do list that I can never complete. How do I organize it, I asked ChatGBT. ” you don’t have an organization problem you have a decision problem.” it flaunted.

Revealed – Part 1 | 1 Samuel 16

Revealed – Part 1 | 1 Samuel 16

Samuel grieves. He fears. He makes assumptions. Samuel is profoundly human. Yes, even Samuel the prophet the man whose words never fell to the ground- what a relief.  I want to sit with Samuel for a moment because it’s easy to forget that the great heroes of Scripture were not immune to disappointment or even […]

1 Samuel 15 | Called and Tested 

1 Samuel 15 | Called and Tested 

God’s initial call often aligns with a person’s natural abilities or desires (what they can and want to do). Over time he tests not their ability but their heart. The test reveals the heart by demanding surrender in the very area where self-will is strongest. This test works to deepen relationship and intimacy with God. […]

I am also a portrait artist. I draw portraits of people who I believe have been of great importance and value to humanity. To see more, my latest, as well as some of my paintings visit my website: kimblenkhorn.com
