The word that pops into my head when I hear the word desert is "wildflowers". I know that many see the desert as desolation, dry, lonely, or hot. Many can feel the sand in their teeth and the stings of the red ants on their legs. But I see wildflowers... In the midst of pain, frustration loneliness, god promises us springs in the desert... springs of fizzy water (Arrowhead, Perrier, Pellegrino, Poland Springs, pick your favorite) to keep us hydrated, to keep our immune systems functioning so that we don't dry up and die.
So google California desert wildflowers and look at some of the pictures. Know that god does not leave us in a dry place........ Know that a time of trial is not forever... the flowers always come back.
