Description
On Everyday Create, MM explores the type of creative life she wants for herself and for others: honest, ordinary, frequent, glorious creativity that fills our souls with joy and a good type of angst, and glorifies the One who Redeemed and bought all of us—even the creative pieces of our souls.
Listen to interviews with all types of people on this creative journey, from full-time and newbie artists, painters and poets, rural and suburban makers, as we learn from each other what it means to co-create both our lives and masterpieces of depth and beauty along with the Creator.

Written version on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/p/CjEa9SSJJ0o/ "Double Covenant" They couldn’t find love because they searched for it as a penny on the sidewalk— a quick pick-me-up, happenstance, pocket change, an add-on to the appetizers of life. When it was actually water in a desert— quenching, hard-won, and utterly indispensable. I finally found it in the form of a covenant. and it’s not a happened-to, but a promise-to. We’ve locked each other down, sea...

Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/p/CqOUxlFp1kO/ I keep noticing You hidden. Tucked into the conversation I had with a friend about all the woes and worries of this temporary home. I keep seeing you twinkling through song on my Spotify. I keep hearing you, somehow, wordlessly whisper to me in the afternoon wind. I keep wondering if my desires to scream out this Good News—despite the social repercussions—is Your divine pushing. Are You grinning right now, because I’m finally noticing...

In 2022, I challenged myself to interview 12 of my favorite artists, one for each month.

In this interview, we chatted about: - her latest release "Kindness of Strangers" - what it's like to be a part-time musician - the challenge of not feeling cheesy or Christian enough for Christian music spaces and too Christian for secular spaces You can check out her music...
"It’s happening so much lately I feel so out of control. Somehow, I’m losing grip on my very own soul. When the conversation goes awry. When the envy strikes. When I run out of ambition for good. When I am convinced I could mess up the entire cosmos with one single slip—(they tell me this is impossible, but I can’t forget the Mother of All Living. Sometimes the story haunts me in my dreams, and I am startled, woken up, right before the fig-leaf scene.) I am so talented at forgetting Him. Th...
When your own undoing hits, I pray you don’t run from your questions, for often that’s the same as running from Him. I pray you listen as He asks you some Himself like this: Do you truly know it all? Can you inform me of something new? Did you hang the moon in its starry host? Or will you let me inform you a new? Will you let me in? And if you won’t, (here it strikes again) Why? I wonder what you’ll do when you will discover God is a little bi...
I guess I never thought asking was the same as unbelieving I’ve always thought it an invitation for His correction to my intuition. But lately it seems everyone thinks it’s wrong to wonder I am beginning to wonder myself if maybe it is Honestly I’m not sure. I just know that I can’t help Overflowing with how’s and who’s and what’s and my goodness—the why’s. Always, why, why, why they whisper in my ear, day and night. And in all my conversations with the God-Man a...
You can find more of MM's poetry at @earthtomm Poem an infinite promise Promise me that You will always be enough that You will be forever pouring over, old rooms of Your heart to discover, newness of life in every drawer, in a unlocked chestnut wardrobe, another haunt set free, another secret door to another uncharted world. Promise me that I won’t get bored. That we won’t run low on things to discuss. That we will trace Your goodness through the galaxies, and the line...
The verbal recording of this Instagram post (click here). Instagram: @earthtomm Script: I will recount my story of everything tumbling down, but only if You promise to repeat it back to me it in a way that makes sense. At least on that One Day, someday not even Your Son knows. Won’t you offer some clarity of the why’s and how’s and who’s? Unravel the damage, surrey the losses, point out the Grace, please, My God. I can’t survive this repetition without that promise. It will turn into insan...

"God is good. So, so good. So, so, so good. This life is a musical of praise to the glory of His name. And it’s no longer cheesy to me. It’s not forced. This isn't what I’m supposed to say. It doesn't even feel dramatic; it's simply an appropriate response to the God of the universe. This praise? It’s simply the truest thing in my heart today. My plea to you today, is to sing with me, Christian. He is good. So good." Instagram: @earthtomm Website: earthtomm.com Book: https:/...
