Creating Mountains

February 4, 2019May 5, 2020 ~ Kim Blenkhorn ~ Leave a comment

God knows how to simulate mountains in your life. A stationary bike doesn’t go anywhere. There are no hills to conquer, no tough terrain to blaze, and no flat roads to catch a break. On a stationary bike you are in an enclosed room and the bikes don't move one inch from the line on … Continue reading Creating Mountains

Lessons from a Stationary Bike

January 28, 2019March 21, 2020 ~ Kim Blenkhorn ~ 2 Comments

The goal of a riding a stationary bike is change not destination. We don't ride to move the bike, your riding to change your yourself.  Likewise, God places us in situations where forward movement isn't part of the equation, because he is working on changing us. sometimes God uses stationary situations to strengthen us for … Continue reading Lessons from a Stationary Bike

Building Trust

January 8, 2019May 5, 2020 ~ Kim Blenkhorn ~ Leave a comment

What does it look like to trust in the Lord? As Christian brothers and sisters implore often,     “ trust the Lord.” But what does that mean and how do we do it? I think trusting the Lord looks like resting your mind and heart in the assurance of God working. I think trusting … Continue reading Building Trust

I know what it’s like

March 5, 2018May 5, 2020 ~ Kim Blenkhorn ~ Leave a comment

I know what it's like to feel like you have no purpose, like you don't count in the world. I know what's its like to feel like you make no contribution big enough to be truly missed, if something were to happen to you. I know what its like to feel bored with life, to … Continue reading I know what it’s like

Augustine Confessions

May 6, 2017May 5, 2020 ~ Kim Blenkhorn ~ Leave a comment

"You prompt us yourself to find satisfaction in appraising you, since you made us tilted toward you , and our heart is unstable until stabilized in you." -St. Augustine "And what, with all this, have I said, my God, my life holy and sweet to me, what can anyone say when speaking of you? yet … Continue reading Augustine Confessions

Hind’s Feet

April 24, 2017May 5, 2020 ~ Kim Blenkhorn ~ Leave a comment

There are times in life when I feel freedom. It’s like a passing shower in the heat of the day, like a ray of sunlight revealing a world of opportunity that I desire to experience. It’s hard to explain, but freedom has a feeling. It feels like possibility,  strength, ability to suddenly do things you … Continue reading Hind’s Feet

K-LOVE and Pureflix

April 5, 2017March 9, 2018 ~ Kim Blenkhorn ~ Leave a comment

My skin crawls, when I hear some of the filth on the radio today. It seems we have lost morality in this country. We have very little modesty, conviction, and a lot of tolerance. I don't want my 11 year old daughter listening to lyrics about sex, drugs and money. These are not things I want her to … Continue reading K-LOVE and Pureflix

the beginning of Love

January 26, 2017March 9, 2018 ~ Kim Blenkhorn ~ Leave a comment

There’s a part of me that believes, if I do something big for God, he will love me, he will value me more, he will pat me on the back and say, “good girl, faithful servant.  I desire my heavenly Father to love me.  God designed mankind with a desire to be loved, cherished and … Continue reading the beginning of Love

a Christmas Carol according to Christ

December 10, 2016May 5, 2020 ~ Kim Blenkhorn ~ Leave a comment

I will live in the past, present and future Ebenezer Scrooge promises.     Let the life behind you and the life beyond you effect the life within you and you will live with wisdom, knowledge and grace. Open your arms wide with one hand reaching towards yesterday and the other toward tomorrow, and time … Continue reading a Christmas Carol according to Christ

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, […]

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
