About Arrow

Hi and welcome! My pen name is Arrow. The word “arrow” intrigues me because it has two meanings that describe my passions. One, it is an instrument used intentionally to reach a target, and two, it shows the way. As a believer and follower of Jesus Christ, my goals are to live for Him, lead others to Him, and glorify the Heavenly Father. I pray that the stories, poems, song lyrics, and devotional thoughts I share on this website will always be inspired by the Holy Spirit and aligned with the truths found in God’s Word. My hope is that the words may penetrate your heart and point the way to a closer relationship with the Savior. I look forward to sharing my journey with you. Experiencing what God has in store is bound to be exciting! May you be blessed! ~ Arrow

Responsibilities of Freedom

The Fourth of July or Independence Day reminds Americans of their great freedoms. I heard a pastor share that a uniformed soldier once told him, “Don’t thank me for my service. Thank me for your freedom.” Something worth considering. Freedom … Continue reading

Anything New?

Anything new? Hmm. Not wardrobe or hairstyle. Not my walk/jog through my neighborhood. Truly, not my homemade breakfast bars that I’ve made part of my routine for months now. Usually, I’m okay with that. With some things, I’m comfortable with … Continue reading
