Month: July, 2015. July 21, 2015. A Tale of Two Kingdoms. A quick glance through social media turned into a long squeal. My friend decided to run a half marathon. At Disney. DisneyLAND! I posted a Facebook reply in three nanoseconds and almost booked a flight on the spot. Why? Because Disneyland makes me yearn for the Kingdom of God, and Heaven. Truly, I’m not nuts. Let me explain. God used a silly Mouse to remind me about beauty and whimsy and color and excitement and joy. No, Disneyland wasn’t. For som...

Month: February, 2015. February 25, 2015. When Love Rewrites the Ending. You show that you are a letter from Christ…written not with ink but with the Spirit of the living God…. 2 Corinthians 3:3 NIV. Bent over two bowls of soup, we share lunch on the hospital tray. He doesn’t say much, for what’s there to say when you traverse between the bed and a wheelchair day after day? My spirit cries within me, “Take him home, Jesus. Take him home! Pain, but my own – to suffer the same pain his abandonment. It̵...

The Slow Rain of the Soul | {re}fresh
https://refreshwellspring.wordpress.com/2015/08/05/the-slow-rain-of-the-soul
The Slow Rain of the Soul. 8221; by snowpeak. Is licensed under CC BY 2.0. Ask the LORD for rain in the springtime; it is the LORD who makes the storm clouds. He gives showers of rain to men, and plants of the field to everyone (Zecheriah 10:1, NIV). Yet when the ground is so dry, a hard pounding rain will not penetrate the earth, but instead runs off to the dry stream beds and off toward the ocean. Little seeps into the groundwater and the reservoirs are hardly replenished. Whether a slow rain or a hurr...

June 8, 2016. Spring Cleaning…Surrendering to the Light. Pittock Mansion by Brittany. Flickr.com8707522400 31cfb20015 z.jpg CC BY-ND 2.0. 8220;God is light; in him there is no darkness at all.” 1 John 1:5. Saturday, words from a former self spilled over my lips like an overflowing bucket of dirty water. Ooooops! That monster named Unforgiveness had snuck back in under the cover of darkness and drowned me with my own words. How appropriate. Words…my passion and my weakness. What about your spring cleaning?

Most Journeys Are Mostly Boring. When the right time comes, I the Lord will quickly do this. (Isaiah 60:22b). I recently had the good fortune to fulfill a life-long dream to drive across the country. The trip was itself a major step in another, much longer, more personal journey a seven-year pursuit of the love of my life. But that’s another story. The Lord says through Isaiah, “When the right time comes, I the LORD will quickly do this” (Isa. 60:22b, NET). From my picayune perspective, things tend to mo...

Relational Circuits and Pharisees | {re}fresh
https://refreshwellspring.wordpress.com/2015/06/17/relational-circuits-and-pharisees
Relational Circuits and Pharisees. Is compassionate and gracious, slow to anger, abounding in love. Psalm 103:8. OK, thank you, I chirp tersely in my leave-me-alone-can’t-you-see-I’m-working voice. Five seconds later, I. Realize what I didno, what I AM doing. I have no idea what my husband said, what he wanted, what he’s feeling, or even if he smiled or frowned. Nor did I care. That’s not the first time I preemptively stopped conversation, empathy and connection with someone I loved in the last 24 hours.

Month: April, 2015. April 29, 2015. Cinderella…More than Just Another Fairy Princess Story. Ella stood before her dying mother, frozen with fear. I want to tell you a secret that will see you through all the trials that life can offer, whispered her mother. Have courage and be kind. Choking back tears, Ella nodded and sealed the secret between them with one last hug. Little did she know, but this little secret would see Ella through life’s toughest trials. Embarrassed by the truth, Cinderella plays coy, ...
