When I feel my heart freeze, I look to you.
Rhythm, meter, your beat, help me to breathe.
Lies come to choke me till my face is blue.
Your songs combat the noise while demons seethe.
Would I harden under the sun’s bright rays,
Your tune casts shade. I’m held safe in your cool.
Would I burn this garden into a blaze,
Sing my blowtorch into a garden tool.
I’ve run to look for gods on ev’ry hill.
Their eyes can’t see, their ears can’t hear, like me.
Your melodies wean me till I am still,
Molding me to see that bloody, dry tree.
There He cried Psalms, in the dark all alone.
Here tears mingle—mine, His—a harvest sown. 

Hey, did you know I wrote a book? (Well, a few technically!)

My latest book is my first book for grown-ups. It’s called Love Has a Story (Moody Publishers, 2024), and I think you should read the first two chapters to see if you want to get it for yourself or a friend (here’s chapter one and here’s chapter two). :)

Be on the lookout for news about my first fiction book, a novel-in-verse set to release in 2027 with InterVarsity Press. Can’t wait to tell you all about it!
