May 2, 2010 to May 2, 2018 … “Wellspring” Eighth Anniversary & Birthday Edition Rielyn & Wellspring are celebrating again! As I pondered what to pen for this eighth anniversary of Wellspring of Life, I was re-encouraged (which I needed) while tearing open sauce packets for a south of the border breakfast at the office. […]
Vineyard Days – Selah IX
Six months have passed since we left off the mini-study of Molid (Mo-leed) in the five Flawless posts. Though it’s been a lengthy selah already, welcome to Vineyard Days-Selah IX before we continue on. No matter how I do or do not plan my writing focus and time, Holy Spirit seems to delight in proving the efficacy1 […]
“Wellspring” Fourth Anniversary & Birthday Edition
Wellspring of Life and granddaughter Rielyn turned four years old today! When I published my first post on May 2, 2010 there was no way of knowing what the next four years would bring. Life has been full of joyous and difficult seasons, but one thing remains the same: our Lord. He is more than […]
Vineyard Days – Horticulture of the Heart
Now the parable is this: The seed is the Word of God. But as for that [seed] in the good soil, these are [the people] who, hearing the Word, hold it fast in a just (noble, virtuous) and worthy heart, and steadily bring forth fruit with patience. Luke 8:11&15 (AMP) ~ Jesus speaking I love reading what […]
Vineyard Days – Grafted In
For quite some time I have been convinced there is absolutely nothing about one’s life that is not spoken to in Scripture. (This post hits rather close to home, spiritually and physically). Some things are overtly obvious, while others are of a more mysterious nature meant to be searched out and discovered. Embedded within the […]
Vineyard Days – Your Eyes as Doves’
Turn your eyes upon Jesus… Look full in His wonderful face. And the things of earth will grow strangely dim In the light of His glory and grace. Helen H. Lemmel *** I remember the feelings of being a new bride. Beyond the wedding plans and honeymoon, making a home of our own and being […]
Vineyard Days – Under His Shadow, Part 2
“All earthly things are the shadows of heavenly realities… If you would know Jesus, study the vine.” ~ Andrew Murray ~ *** Scripture is full of mystery, yet we are told to ask and be given, to seek and to find, to knock and to have the door of understanding opened up to us. It […]
Vineyard Days – Under His Shadow
“All earthly things are the shadows of heavenly realities…” ~ Andrew Murray ~ Embarking on the new year, I dug out a binder this past week from a class I developed and taught seven years ago; then six years ago; and a third time five years ago. Holy Spirit has been prompting me for several […]
2014 – The Year of Double Portion
Here we stand on the threshold of a new year. Three hundred sixty five days stretching out in front of us. What will we do with them? What will 2014 bring? And in return, how will we respond as it unfolds? I think Isaiah was a branch of the True Vine anointed by the Lord […]
Vineyard Days – A Company of Horses
Sometimes our heart knows what our lips cannot quite articulate. There is a stirring inside that is of a nature not our own. An air of expectancy and restlessness. Anticipation, Heinz ketchup-style. An impatience born of a sense of something greater… I think it’s not too far-fetched to compare such stirring to internally ‘pawing the […]
