“Shout for joy to God, all the earth! Sing the glory of his name; make his praise glorious. Say to God, “How awesome are your deeds! So great is your power that your enemies cringe before you. All the earth bows down to you; they sing praise to you, they sing the praises of your name. Come and see what God has done, his awesome deeds for mankind!” Psalm 66:1-5 The mission of “Come & See, a Journal for Crusader Creativity” is to celebrate the impact of the visual and written arts in such a way that reflects Christ and allows students to honor God with their gifts. Come & See was born out of my desire to start a new club at Northwest Christian for students whose interests and artistic expression continued outside of the classroom or went beyond the bounds of traditional school assignments. I began by dreaming of a club for writers, where a love for poetry, short stories, and all things creative could be shared. Eventually, Mr. Brown and I collaborated on this idea and out of our conversations, we had the idea for “Come & See” as the avenue for the Come & See high school club to capture, preserve, and celebrate not only the writing of Northwest Christian students, but also their artwork and photography. Just a few months later, I am proud to introduce to you the school’s first digital and print issue of “Come & See, a Journal for Crusader Creativity”. Going forward, our hope is to expand this publication for not only Northwest Christian, but for artistic students across various schools. I hope that you enjoy this issue and would encourage you to submit your own artwork! Lindsey Lee Come & See, Chief Curator comeandsee@ncsaz.org

Surrender by Lindsey Lee The thoughts in my mind manifest rigged doubt To prepare for the match of my soul. My armor and strength quickly run out, And my sword, once sharp, is now dull. I stumble to battle with tears in my eyes, Grieving the loss ahead. And as I prepare to surrender the prize, Relief replaces my dread. Somehow I know to accept His embrace, And the pain within fades away. I feel comforted at the sight of His face, And at home with no debt to pay.
