My Poetry reflects loss and sorrow, Love and devotion towards God and hope.

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

What prepares us to look upon the cross of Christ and repent? The harsh realities of sin

Poem To My Younger Self

September 26, 2023February 25, 2026 ~ Kim Blenkhorn ~ Leave a comment

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

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 […]

Actions Are Weighed | 1 Samuel 2:1–11

Actions Are Weighed | 1 Samuel 2:1–11

So much is happening in Hannah’s song. It is more than simple gratitude for God giving her a child. In fact, we see no direct mention of, “the child.” Instead, we see the language consistent with victory—victory over her enemy, over her hardship. Peninnah’s name is often understood to relate to “face” or “pearl,” and […]

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
