Unrestrained | Kim Blenkhorn

June 13, 2026 ~ Kim Blenkhorn ~ 3 Comments

I read the Lord is not restrained by pain that I may hold By blood or death or truth or means,  by things that i’ve been told  He is not restrained by weakness, not restrained by might,  He is not restrained by what may come  Or things that don’t seem right,  The Lord is not … Continue reading Unrestrained | Kim Blenkhorn

The Work is Done

July 11, 2024February 25, 2026 ~ Kim Blenkhorn ~ Leave a comment

Oh my Father, oh my Shepherd King The love you offer are tears that sting  salty wounds and ashen face  lonely deserts , lands of waste  Rocky Terrace , unknown Depths a wooden cross , a painful death  to know this glory how can I bear  to taste the suffering and heaven share  unless you … Continue reading The Work is Done

Struggles of Faithful Proportions

July 11, 2024February 25, 2026 ~ Kim Blenkhorn ~ Leave a comment

Lord I know that you know me,  for that reason my fear is small  the innermost parts of my heart,  the innocent Ways that I fall.  Every thought and intent of my soul, The longings you see every one  the quiet reflections , the hopes and exceptions  the works both complete and undone  the tiny … Continue reading Struggles of Faithful Proportions

Poem To My Younger Self

Kim Blenkhorn I read the words you wrote in tears I felt your desperation In every line a scream for help A need for consolation On every page after page after page Words poured out like rain Tell the tale of a of a broken heart A Young lover lost in pain You didn’t have … Continue reading Poem To My Younger Self

Broken Things

September 21, 2023February 25, 2026 ~ Kim Blenkhorn ~ Leave a comment

As Children bring their broken toys with tears for us to mend, I brought my broken dreams to God, because he was my friend Surely, he would see the need, And go to work at once, Prioritizing all my things, And meeting all my wants, I waited for what seemed some time For him to … Continue reading Broken Things

Final Feast

December 3, 2020February 25, 2026 ~ Kim Blenkhorn ~ Leave a comment

Oh the mighty hand of God I never can resist, The compelling voice of Christ my King, Seldom ceases to bring me rest, His all consuming fiery love Convincing my heart to beat, His pure untainted words of life Penetrate each time we meet, Oh the seeing eyes of God That fix upon my state … Continue reading Final Feast

Parenting Teenagers

May 8, 2020 ~ Kim Blenkhorn ~ Leave a comment

I know how God Feels about his children when I look at mine, all the Love and all the frustration Divine. I’m tired of trying to get ungrateful and unredeemed children to obey my rules all day I know how God felt I’m tired of emptying myself to give them what they need, and getting … Continue reading Parenting Teenagers

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, 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. Samuel was a prophet unlike any other. Scripture tells us that not one […]

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. […]

Good Enough | Kim Blenkhorn 

Good Enough | Kim Blenkhorn 

I battled low self-esteem and body-image issues throughout my teens and early twenties. Feet, oddly enough, were a thing for me. I wanted beautiful feet so badly. I remember once flipping through a Lands’ End catalog looking at bathing suits when I noticed a swimsuit model—beautiful, thin, everything I thought I wanted to be—and she […]

Saul’s Foolish Command | 1 Samuel 14:24-46

Saul’s Foolish Command | 1 Samuel 14:24-46

What Saul teaches us in this portion of Scripture is that poor leadership, focused inward rather than outward toward the people, will often lead people into sin. For these kinds of leaders, being obeyed becomes more important than guiding others to obey God. Their authority serves to bolster their own confidence and preserve their image. […]

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
