The kings of the Bible used psalms, songs, and poetry to worship, meditation, praise, lament, heartbreak, prayer, and commune with God. These poems flow to and from my heart, mind, and spirit while I’m with God. Some are born, while I’m praying for others. Many are from my first book of poems, called “Everyday Matters” (No longer in print), which I published in 2005.
I’ve recently picked up the poetry quill and will be publishing a new book soon. I pray the fruit of verse born from my struggles, honesty, and prayer can reveal the dimensions of an unfathomable and loving God.
With Love and Joy,
Sandy
