who do you say I am

June 27, 2016May 6, 2020 ~ Kim Blenkhorn ~ 2 Comments

when I'm empty of words its because I'm full of questions when I have nothing to give and little to say and sense cannot form and life is delayed I cannot walk forward I barely rise up I'm frozen and awkward despairing and stuck my mind cannot settle its hard to decide confused and afraid … Continue reading who do you say I am

Battlefield

May 20, 2015May 28, 2020 ~ Kim Blenkhorn ~ 2 Comments

Oh Lord prepare my heart today, To search your will; and see your face To walk among the shifting sands Of changing minds and feeble hands Gird up my loins; teach me to stand Among the waves; and mountain peaks Where waters scarce and hopes are bleak The work of cleansing must be done Sort … Continue reading Battlefield

Decisions

May 15, 2015May 1, 2024 ~ Kim Blenkhorn ~ Leave a comment

The future choices we must make Before time steals our youth Before order and innocence Has been swallowed by truth, What is this prison? These invisible bars A cell of indecision A night without stars Trapped by fear The unknown the unseen The answers are rare Beyond my reach Overwhelmed by volume, shadows and tides … Continue reading Decisions

My Soul Overflowing

February 12, 2013March 1, 2013 ~ Kim Blenkhorn ~ Leave a comment

My soul is the ocean With unexplored depths Words and feelings unknown Unspoken, unseen Subsisting in theory Remaining serene Black darkness follows life That’s revealed above, Hidden time and secret sounds Invade my mind With desperate love Thoughts often spotted Ideas believed to exist Yet quickly escaping Captivation they resist Truth breathing, taking in air … Continue reading My Soul Overflowing

Give me an assignment, a task to complete a course to chart a pardon to plea ask me a question dare me to dream sing me a song and I’ll dance like I’m free give me a paper, a pen and some ink a letter a word, a reason to think state your opinion regret … Continue reading Ignite

What I Have Not

February 12, 2013March 1, 2013 ~ Kim Blenkhorn ~ Leave a comment

I haven’t strength to wipe these teary eyes Nor run a race to gain a single prize Nor wit nor will, I can’t sit still Nor heart that loves without disguise I haven’t soul enough to find the words to heal Or heal the wounds I’ve found By words without appeal I shake inside, I … Continue reading What I Have Not

At His feet

February 12, 2013March 1, 2013 ~ Kim Blenkhorn ~ Leave a comment

At His Feet Where all is still And blood flows freely By His will We bring our burdens one by one Until the last is overcome Peace He grants At each release Love fulfills Sufferings cease We look about to find our foes Disappeared beneath his toes What becomes of all our pain? Brought before … Continue reading At His feet

Revealed – Part II | I Samuel 16

Revealed –  Part II | I Samuel 16

God chooses a King after his own Heart. David is revealed.  Saul’s character is fully matured. Saul is Revealed.  David is the anointed king in the midst of his brothers. This small detail is significant. David is a type of Messiah, being the predecessor to Jesus, as the Son of David. The scene is dramatic. […]

The  Room of Important Things 

The  Room of Important Things 

That room containing all the versions of myself in fragments of stuff sits there untouched week after week. Silent, waiting. looming over me like a giant to do list that I can never complete. How do I organize it, I asked ChatGBT. ” you don’t have an organization problem you have a decision problem.” it flaunted.

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 the prophet the man whose words never fell to the ground- 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 or even […]

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. […]

Unrestrained | Kim Blenkhorn

Unrestrained | Kim Blenkhorn

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 […]

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
