Seeking and Discovering God. All posts by 2ptl. A Insurrection of Words. October 1, 2016. My trusted words betray me. They’ve turned fickle and finicky,. Slippery to my grasp;. I reach for them to stand them in their proper place. But they slide from my hands like elusive lizards,. Leaving me stupidly holding the tail in my hands. They refuse to stand still, climbing all over the page. Jumping like those quintuplet monkeys on the bed. Mocking me, laughing at my efforts to pin them into thoughts. Sometime...

Seeking and Discovering God. There and Back Again. May 19, 2015. Life on the foreign field. There and Back Again. After 3 weeks at home, I’m back in the Far East, wondering sometimes if this is really where I’m supposed to be, wondering if I am equipped for this work, wondering if I’ll last the two years I signed on for, feeling at home yet not at home. Or it was holding my newest nephew for the very first time. I know I’m sentimental. There’s no getting around it.). You’ll Never Know. You are commenting...

Seeking and Discovering God. Child That Never Really Was Mine. July 15, 2015. Life on the foreign field. I miss you, I miss you, child of my heart. Child that never really was mine). Eyes so deep you’d think you’d drown. Drown in those tears of salty brine. But child, child, I miss those hands. Brown and small that clung to my own. Clung to my hands and held to my heart. But now I hold alone. The last time I saw you, child of mine. You looked so fragile and skinny and small. Father, take care of him!

Seeking and Discovering God. 40 Ways You Know You Work at Wisdom Tree Home. May 15, 2016. Life on the foreign field. 40 Ways You Know You Teach at Wisdom Tree Home. The Wheels on the Bus is your default shower song. You find yourself patting the toilet and saying Good job when it finally flushes. At the stoplight you find yourself singing, The light is red, the light is red, the light is red, red, red. Of that snack in your mouth before you leave the kitchen and join the children. About 50 times a day.

Wounded Dream | insearchofabrook

https://insearchofabrook.wordpress.com/2015/07/06/wounded-dream

Seeking and Discovering God. July 6, 2015. In that small moment of trusting, not guarding. I forgot and the waves came and they came strong. Against the fragile dream I claimed for my own. No pain is imagined, no matter how ridiculous. It may seem to call it pain. Because it would not pain another, ever. A word too many, a trust dropped through. And suddenly a hundred pains crowd the door. What some call imagined, because it was not intended. I cannot believe these lies. They are the builders of eternity.

You cannot do this, father! You and I can survive on the mountains, but not Mother and the 2 babies! And so it came to ...

Seeking and Discovering God. Because there is a fountain. June 14, 2015. Life on the foreign field. Because there is a fountain filled with blood that I have found. But he hasn’t found it yet and I can’t make him come to it. He thinks that we are animals and live in a hopeless cycle of life. The only thing that can bring us to perfection and nothingness. What a glorious thing to look forward to). Is to look inside of ourselves. Even though we are animals and have nothing inside of ourselves that is good.

Deeper | insearchofabrook

https://insearchofabrook.wordpress.com/2015/06/20/deeper

Seeking and Discovering God. June 20, 2015. Life on the foreign field. When the searing blue of Eastern skies. Day after day does not wane. And the cotton mounds of nimbus white. Refuse to release their rain. Red-rimmed eyes seek hard for storms. Storms of hope on canvassed skies. But no rain washes, and roots dig down. Deeper and down to where the lifeline lies. When on the horizon of my soul’s small world. The skies are bright with heat. No storms press piling with thunderous roar. Wounded Dream →.
