Dawn is a quiet place for those who seek — through poetry, worship, and the written word — to go deeper with God.
Many of us identify with the Samaritan woman at Jacob's well in the Book of John 4. Totally unaware that her life was about to change, she rose up and went about her daily routine. She rummaged through her mental to-do list, resigned to a life of functional emptiness.
She then walked past her sixth husband on her way to the well — feeling just as insignificant to him as she did every time she walked through the small town of Sychar. Meanwhile, Someone waited for her at the well, watching her like He always did. He constantly watched her draw water to quench a thirst that only He could. He often watched as she dipped her jar into the deep well; echoing the Christ-sized void in her own heart. He had watched her move in with her sixth 'husband', craving a love that only He embodied. He previously watched her worship what she did not know, anxiously awaiting The Messiah. While we might never know this woman's name, He knew her entire life, down to the hair on her head.
While she came to the well to fill her jar, He came to transform her into a well of Living Water.
After her encounter, the Samaritan woman can't help but tell everyone about Christ. Not just her though. Over 70 miles away in yet another small town known as Gadara, the same Man from the well encountered a man and freed him from a legion of unclean spirits. Jesus then commissions the Gadarene man, instructing him to:
"Return to your own house, and tell what great things God has done for you."
The free man did just that. The Samaritan woman did the exact same thing.
An exploration of the Father heart of God — the one who runs toward us, who is slow to anger, and whose mercies are new every morning.
What does it mean that God himself is faithful? These writings trace the thread of divine faithfulness through Scripture and into daily life.
Reflections on what it means that God is living and active — not distant or theoretical, but present, breathing, moving in the world.
The men and women of Scripture come alive again: their doubt, their courage, their encounters with the living God, told for a new generation.
Personal worship writing — poetry that arrived in prayer, lyrics that came in quiet, songs shaped by specific moments of meeting with God.
Short-form reflections for the everyday: a single verse, a small observation, a moment of grace worth pausing over.
"Whoever drinks the water I give them will never thirst. Indeed, the water I give them will become in them a spring of water welling up to eternal life."John 4:14
Likewise, this site is in obedience to a similar instruction. Like the Samaritan woman and the Gadarene, my Father encountered me from a place of Love. Today, with the second chance He has given me, I intend to overflow from the abundance that he has poured out into my own heart.
For me, this is more than just a blog; it is an overflowing well of His Goodness toward me.
To the Glory of my Most Loving and Everlasting Father.
