Lift Your Eyes

Most of us have been taught to bow our heads in prayer. But what if the power we seek isn’t beneath us – but above? “I lift my eyes to the mountains – where does my help come from? My help comes from the Lord, the maker of Heaven and Earth.” Psalm 121:1-2 I noticedContinue reading “Lift Your Eyes”

He Washed Feet

Something I’ve been thinking a lot about recently is Jesus’ response to death. Jesus knew He was going to die. And what did He do on His last day? He washed feet (John 13:1-17). Wow.

Psalm 23:4 “Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for You are with me; Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me.” This verse has been the verse I cling to in the darkest valleys, on the brightest mountain tops, and everywhere in-between.

Poetry: The Kingdom of Heaven

Stand before the King himself. Bubbling joy spurts from the soul. Angelic beings float above. Grace abounds in enveloping love. Questions of ‘whether’s, what if’s, and am I’s’ coming together to form ‘I tried.’ Knowing sprouts from the base. “Lord, I come to take up my place.” Carry my burdens, my cross, and mistakes. SpreadingContinue reading “Poetry: The Kingdom of Heaven”

My Testimony: Part 1

In the spring of 2011, my dad, Brian Dickinson, left to climb the highest mountain in the world. He ended up summiting Mount Everest on May 15, 2011. For more about his story, you can find his book here. Although Everest may be my dad’s story, his story is still part of my own. IContinue reading “My Testimony: Part 1”
