Exodus 9

February 22, 2024April 30, 2024 ~ Kim Blenkhorn ~ Leave a comment

Only in the Land of Goshen Israel was protected by God’s hand of mercy, even as Egypt was afflicted by it. The only “claim” they had to God’s allegiance was being the seed of Jacob, who was the seed of Isaac, who was the seed of Abraham, whom God made a promise. God covenanted with … Continue reading Exodus 9

The Eyes of the Lord

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

God reminded me this week that He is watching My daughter is 16. She is on the varsity volleyball team at the local High School. Her number is 2. She is a starter as a Junior and I'm extremely proud of her. Since middle school she has loved the game of Volleyball. she is highly … Continue reading The Eyes of the Lord

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

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

traveling alone | on solitude as a necessary path in life

traveling alone | on solitude as a necessary path in life

I think the hardest paths in life are meant to be walked alone—like Jesus in Gethsemane or the road that led to the cross. These roads are traveled in silence—journeys of solitude where growth happens and change is accepted. When you walk alone, there are no distractions, no outside conversations to sway you, no well-meaning […]

The Church | A House of Prayer

The Church | A House of Prayer

What is the church? What does it look like? Feel like? Sound like? I grew up in church. My mother was a Christian before I was born—the serious kind, not a pew-warmer, not a seasonal Christian, but Christs blood ran deep in our family roots. I was not a first-generation believer but a fourth-generation Evangelical. […]

Spiritual Leaders | I Samuel 3

Spiritual Leaders | I Samuel 3

Eli was the high priest in the temple of God. To understand the weight of his role, it helps to consider what the priesthood represented. The priests were set apart from the other tribes of Israel to serve and minister before the Lord in the tabernacle. They wore special garments, carried unique privileges, and were […]

Deep Roots | Kim Blenkhorn 

Deep Roots | Kim Blenkhorn 

How fragile is my relationship with God or rather my faith? Today I was reading about plants. I asked Google, “What happens to a 40-year-old plant?” I thought that if I could understand how plants grow, maybe I could understand something about my own spiritual state of existence. The article said ‘plants at forty years […]

Appetite and Allegiance | I Samuel 2:12-36

Appetite and Allegiance | I Samuel 2:12-36

“The sons of Eli were worthless men; they did not know the Lord.” The purpose of the semicolon here is to hold together both the cause and the judgment.The cause: they did not know God.The judgment: they were worthless men. These two ideas are closely linked. Our relationship with the Lord determines much about who […]

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
