The kings of the Bible used psalms, songs, and poetry as a vulnerable and elegant form of worship, meditation, praise, lament, heartbreak, and prayer. My poems below are born from time spent with God in good and bad times. Some poems become messages I write when I’m praying for someone else. Many are from my first book of poems called, “Everyday Matters”, (No longer in print) that I published in 2005.
I’ve recently picked up my poetry quill and will be publishing a new book soon. I pray the fruit, born from my struggles and prayer can open and reveal for your dimensions of an unfathomable and loving God as they did for me.
With Love and Joy,
Sandy
