What is my Goal?

October 6, 2021October 6, 2021 ~ Kim Blenkhorn ~ Leave a comment

Here’s something I learned this morning about Goals and decisions.   Its not uncommon to get stuck when faced with a difficult decision in life. I get stuck all the time, paralyzed with indecision; I’ll never forget the grueling task of trying to decide between two different yet equally wonderful pre-schools to work for one … Continue reading What is my Goal?

God’s Everlasting Love

May 28, 2021 ~ Kim Blenkhorn ~ Leave a comment

Photo by Hernan Pauccara on Pexels.com Listen close, lean in. I want you to understand something; I want you to get a glimpse of God’s unrelenting love even in the midst of trials, as I too want to understand it, own it, live it, breathe it in and exhale with the most blessed assurance that … Continue reading God’s Everlasting Love

Simple Gifts

May 9, 2021May 9, 2021 ~ Kim Blenkhorn ~ Leave a comment

A mother's day experience Photo by Allan Mas on Pexels.com Today is Mother’s Day. Yesterday was a big shopping day; long lines, busy stores, and lots of fathers with small children in tow.  It warmed my heart to see this interaction between child and father for the love of Mother with simple gifts.  It hit … Continue reading Simple Gifts

Moment of Trial

April 20, 2021April 26, 2021 ~ Kim Blenkhorn ~ Leave a comment

Why is Free Speech relevant today? If citizens of this great country continue to value a free society then they will continue to uphold the tenants of free speech and defend our rights for it. In our exercise of Free speech, we prove the distinction nature of humanity, inspire education, test administrative power and aid … Continue reading Moment of Trial

Turn You Northward

January 15, 2021January 8, 2021 ~ Kim Blenkhorn ~ 4 Comments

“Ye have compassed this mountain long enough: turn you northward.” — DEUTERONOMY 2:3 There comes a day like today and 100 days before it when I am bloody tired of circling the same mountain, moving the same pile of bricks, traveling the same road around and around observing the same scenery and encountering the same … Continue reading Turn You Northward

is there any value to failure

January 8, 2021January 8, 2021 ~ Kim Blenkhorn ~ 2 Comments

One time I heard a varsity volleyball coach tell a group of girls before tryouts, that he would "put them in positions where they could not succeed in order to see how they would respond." that has always stuck with me in particular when I am failing. It is good to remember that failure doesn't … Continue reading is there any value to failure

Humanity’s Holy Thirst

December 11, 2020December 12, 2020 ~ Kim Blenkhorn ~ Leave a comment

Photo by Julia Volk on Pexels.com Does God need to be reminded that human’s thirst? This seems like such a silly question, and yet its valid because over and over again we see desperate people petitioning an omniscient God. Is the human need of thirst more important or apparent to our dehydrated lips and sunbaked … Continue reading Humanity’s Holy Thirst

The ache of lonely

December 3, 2020December 3, 2020 ~ Kim Blenkhorn ~ 3 Comments

Luke 10:38-42 It was Martha who welcomed Jesus into her home. ‘Lord do you not care …my sister has left me to serve alone…’ I hear loneliness in Martha’s plea to the Lord. Typically, this verse is interpreted to juxtapose busy preparations with quiet learning to teach a lesson about work with faith. however, when … Continue reading The ache of lonely

Thanksgiving a Heart Condition

November 24, 2020 ~ Kim Blenkhorn ~ Leave a comment

Thanksgiving begins in the heart not at the table. Thanksgiving looks different in 2020. Chronicles offers us a slightly overused but true verse, GIVE THANKS TO THE LORD FOR HE IS GOOD. God’s word never ceases to reveal new thoughts to my thirsty spirit even the overused verses when we seek, we shall find. As … Continue reading Thanksgiving a Heart Condition

The Shrill Loud Voice

The Shrill Loud Voice

Our new neighbors live across the river from us. Between our small cottage and their blue‑tarped shanty runs a long, crooked river that leads to a deep, beautiful lake in New England. It wraps nearly 270 degrees around our . rolling green hills, tall maples, and sun‑dappled grasses. “It looks like a park,” my oldest […]

The Road Jesus Chose — Luke 24

The Road Jesus Chose — Luke 24

In Luke 24, two disciples walked away from Jerusalem discussing the death of Jesus when the risen Christ joined them. These were men who had lived with Him, eaten with Him, and followed Him for three years—yet they did not recognize Him. Their eyes were kept from seeing who He was, and even His voice […]

Why the Women? – Luke 24:9-11

Why the Women? – Luke 24:9-11

“When they came back from the tomb, they told all these things to the Eleven and to all the others. It was Mary Magdalene, Joanna, Mary the mother of James, and the others with them who told this to the apostles. But they did not believe the women, because their words seemed to them like […]

Expectation – ADHD Burnout

Expectation – ADHD Burnout

My nervous system is about to crack. I feel a deep, aching longing to be alone. Not in a dramatic way. Not to disappear.Just to hide away for a while.To close my door and lock it.To shut off my phone. I want to turn down the noise—the constant hum of to-do lists and shaming and […]

The Quicksand – ADHD Burnout

The Quicksand – ADHD Burnout

Okay. Let me try again.I can do this. That’s always how it starts. A breath in. A small resolve. The familiar tightening in my chest that says focus, try harder, get it together. For a moment, or a day, or a week…I believe it. I line things up in my head: the tasks, the expectations, […]
