I’ve been thinking about Matthew 12:43-45 and the unoccupied house.

May it never return to peek inside

And find my heart swept clean, unoccupied

Let its abuse, its dark, its lies

Wander deserts fore’er; Lord, make it die

Come, Lord Jesus, come abide

My eyes Your threshold

My ears Your windows

My mind Your home

My heart Your abode

May it an…

I just came across this one. It’s beautiful!

Also, hello! I’m Janellebelovedpig, a new creation in Christ. I am also the youngest of 11 homeschooled siblings, salesclerk, and a writing Christian. Writing is one of my hobbies. Obviously. 😉 I keep up a blog and tiny YouTube channel with songs, poems, and a few stories. Crafts are also a fond past time…[Read more]

Thank you so much!

Yeah, those are great points about Hind’s Feet on High Places that I hadn’t thought about. I’m so thankful our Lord doesn’t just pop on the scene when we’re desperate, but He’s there every step– joy or trouble. I’m excited for the scene in my allegory where Little One realizes she was never as alone as she felt.…[Read more]

Hi, welcome to Kingdom Pen! I’m Janellebelovedpig, a new creation in Christ, the youngest of 11 homeschooled siblings, salesclerk, and a writing Christian.

Hmm, some questions for you:

Do you play any instruments?

Do you have any siblings?

And are there any character(s) in your story(ies) inspired by people you know?

I can try

 So far my goals are going well, part of my goal was joining a writing community, and I’m here, so I think that goal was accomplished.

@euodia-vision
That’s great! 😁 Yeah, after CWW I wanted a writing community too. I looked on Facebook for Christian writing groups, but those are huge and not personal and I sort of felt a little lost. I wanted a…[Read more]

That’s great!

Cool! Yay! A fellow Penguin! One thing about that week I really loved was finding a group of young girls who were friends and writers, about the same age as I was when I started writing with my friends. It was cool to kinda come back to my youth. And also speak in as an “older sister” in the way I wished I had a mentor or someone…[Read more]

This isn’t the prettiest rhythm, but I love the heart.

Lord don’t let me

walk with You with my dregs

when I’ve spent

all of myself with the rest.

I’m surrounded by distracting tolls

when You by right

should own my best.

Fix my broken eyes to purely

and firstly view

working and walking wholly

with the fullest of me for You.

Hey! How’s your allegory going? I’ve begun writing one of my own, an autobiographical biography– that makes writing easier because I know what God has taught me and then I just have to translate what that looks like for my characters and setting.

My favorite allegory would be Hinds Feet on High Places by Hannah Hurnard. I’m…[Read more]

This is my first published poem (published on the Rebelution). When I had HFMD, I had to quarantine in my bedroom, a familiar space–lonely, but familiar and full of my things. Then a month later with covid, I had to quarantine in the guest room. And it was scary to be carrying such a dangerous disease. And it was scary to be alone in a “strange…[Read more]

Here’s the next part!

The days seemed lighter after that. The guilty burden of hiding the letter was gone, now what lingered was just grieving her best friend. Little One didn’t often journey out to her garden anymore or…[Read more]
