No Perfect Parents

May 29, 2020 ~ Kim Blenkhorn ~ 2 Comments

Our foxes hanging out under the bird feeder When something doesn't go well, I have a tendency to look back at all the things that I should have done, or could have done differently and beat myself up, but God keeps reminding me that no matter how well or imperfectly I parented He is in … Continue reading No Perfect Parents

Looking for Answers

May 4, 2020May 6, 2020 ~ Kim Blenkhorn ~ Leave a comment

When you can't pray because of disappointment than praise is fitting. Learn from King David, who started many psalms with complaints and ended in total awe and submission to a Mighty God. With my head bowed and my lips sealed shut I just couldn't ask for one more thing. Maybe you cannot pray because you … Continue reading Looking for Answers

Bible studies together apart

Even people in the same household that might feel more comfortable posting a comment rather then having a discussion. My daughter and I did one together each on our own phone. … Continue reading Bible studies together apart

Pray for our nations leaders!

May 1, 2020May 2, 2024 ~ Kim Blenkhorn ~ Leave a comment

One thing I’m reminded of these days is that I’m not responsible for outcomes. I will be accountable to God for what I did with his instructions. Regardless of the outcome I may or may not want. God is watching over his word to perform it and God is responsible for the outcome. I know … Continue reading Pray for our nations leaders!

Life is a wilderness

April 22, 2020May 4, 2020 ~ Kim Blenkhorn ~ 1 Comment

We are in the wilderness. A wilderness without sandstorm, a wilderness without manna or desert heat, a wilderness day after day, longing after longing, hoping pleading , praying, complaining, rejoicing grumbling, fighting, fearing and worrying. God brings his covenanted people whom he has delivered from slavery immediately into the wilderness. Like with Jacob with Israel, … Continue reading Life is a wilderness

King , Judge and Mediator | 1 Samuel 8 | Kim Blenkhorn 

Israel asked for a king like all the other nations—for three reasons they said: to judge them, to go before them, and to fight their battles. The Judge They wanted someone to uphold justice and teach truth. someone who was an expert in the law of God—like Moses—who could punish the wicked and pardon the […]

The Insecure King | I Samuel 9

The Insecure King | I Samuel 9

We learn a lot about Saul in chapter 9—some clues about who he is, and subtle foreshadowing of what sort of leader he will become. Saul’s hidden insecurities are not neutral traits; they look for protection—either through control and anxiety, or through performance and pride and both exist in Saul at the same time in […]

The Mind Wanders | Kim Blenkhorn 

The Mind Wanders | Kim Blenkhorn 

For someone with ADHD having to conform to what works for the average neurotypical brain can feel frustrating and excruciating. When my body is still, my mind tends to wander aimlessly. If I am asked to sit quietly in church, be still, and simply listen, I often struggle to focus— My leg starts going, I […]

Return | 1 Samuel 6–7

Return | 1 Samuel 6–7

What should have been a day of celebration turns into tragedy—the ark is returned to Israel but God strikes down fifty thousand of His own people at Beth Shemesh. Israel now seems caught on both sides: enemies on one side, God’s judgment on the other.  Why would God strike His own people? And why are […]

1 Samuel 4 | The Battle Is the Lord’s

1 Samuel 4 | The Battle Is the Lord’s

Israel goes into battle against the Philistines—and they are defeated. Their first fatal flaw is revealed in a single question:“Why has the Lord defeated us today?” Within that question is a overwhelming truth—Israel sees God as an enemy fighting against them, rather than a Savior who loves them. It echoes the accusations of the Hebrews […]
