Update & Explaination

In case you haven't read yet, Spiritsong has moved! Now I'm at http://Spiritsongblog.blogspot.com! But I do have a quick explaination: the new site is a completely different blog with a completely different host, so if you've signed up for notifications here but not on the new Spiritsong, you won't know when I've posted! SO this …

Exciting News!

Hey! It's been so long since I wrote on here, but I have a reason: I've been working on creating a more permanent home for Spiritsong! I could never quite get the look I wanted, so I relocated :). I'd LOVE for you to check my new site out and I can't wait to see …

A Sweet Sunday Afternoon

I always love going to small group on Sundays for a lot of different reasons. First, because of the relationships - my family and I are still developing them, and small group gives us a way to know people on a deeper level through diving deep into scripture. We meet at a house in the …

A Star And A Resolution

Hello! It's been several weeks, a snowless Christmas holiday, and a dive into a new year since I last wrote. Hopefully, you'll be happy to hear that I'm planning on scheduling out my posts so I can share more regularly, and grow while I do it. The other day, I was taking my brother for …

Longing For a King

This post is featuring some pictures from my camera - and from here on out, all the pictures will be my own.  I've always known the Christmas story - it's rooted in my bones. This year, though, it struck me how much I don't know the story. The words are all known, inside and out. But …

Here We Go

December. December 2018. This doesn't usually happen, but Christmas snuck up on me, and Time has slipped away. It's been a long time since I've written, and in that time I've learned a lot, caught a new vision for this blog, and have been brainstorming ways to make the vision a reality.  It started when …

The Curse Under Adam

It's a little strange being a teenager. I know in theory the things that will lead to a more joyful, rounded life in Christ - contentment, strong faith, selfless love - but I'm new here. I don't really know what I'm doing. And I'm getting the nagging sense that, until eternity, I'll never really know exactly what …

The Talespinner’s Talents: A Story From Matthew

Long ago, when the moon wasn’t as old as it is now, and the Americas floated unknown and alone, and the Earth was still the center of everything as far as anything was concerned, a man with dirt-caked feet stood up in front of a swarming crowd and began to tell a story. His story …

Small Enough…to Hear the Planets

It was late at night, and I had just finished writing my post about music. I loved just sitting there, soaking in all the impossibility of describing such a beautiful thing, and then going ahead and trying anyway. I finished, and clicked "Publish". Then I leaned back in my chair, studying the words I had …

The Music of Grace

No words to describe these beautiful strains. It's like an ocean, dripping through your hands, swelling larger than life and impossible to grip. The notes may be tethered by the marks on the sheet, tied down to an understandable rhythm, but that's not their fullness. They want to fly free. I believe music is far …
