Before yesterday, I had no idea this award existed. Then annamarievs honored me with a nomination and really knocked my socks off, so to speak–so thank you! I am so humbled by this, because I frequently get very insecure about my writing and wonder if anyone reads what I write, other than my wonderful followers. …
This poem is about those times when you drift away from God and, by the time you realize it, you feel like there’s no way you can get back to Him. Then He comes and brings you back without you having to do it all yourself. Or, it’s kind of about those times you lose …
It seems to be a common thought, at least in Christian circles (and maybe outside, too, I don’t know) that when we go through trials, we come out stronger. This is (as far as my limited experience can tell) true, by and large, as long as we learn from the trials. But I do not …

You’ll have no place to call your home, no people, and no wealth; Wherever you go, I promise you, your acquaintance will be rife With those who hate, despise you, and even plot your death.

Good news! I’m almost caught up with schoolwork, so I anticipate writing another chapter for The Weavers’ Blessing tomorrow! I’m sorry for keeping you waiting for so long; hopefully it will be worth the wait. To tide you over, here is a [real] short story that I just wrote (Get the joke? Because The Weavers’ Blessing was …

Whether it be directed at a chocolate bar, a yet-to-be-released TV episode, movie, or book, a certain time of the year, a vacation, a person, a time from your past, or something else, at some point in life we’ve all experienced longing.
