Your feet learned how to pivot. Your eye gained the discipline of staying fixed ahead to prevent your feet from slipping. And your hands? they have to keep swinging, matching the speed of your body so there's no way they can hold on to their past rhythm or their old behaviors. The walk. The journey. The continual, daily learning curve. The process. The blessing of taking each step, one by one, being reminded that we are continually being refined. Our joy is not our arrival but in the walk with HIM."Guest Contact Information: Website: www.kimkinsfather.comFacebook: Kim Kinsfather Instagram: kim_kinsfatherHost Contact Information:Website: www.angelinarivera.comFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/angierivera23Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/refineandshinepodcasthttps://www.instagram.com/the.angelina.riveraYouTube: http://www.youtube.com/refineandshinepodcastLinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/in/theangelinariveraTime Management Group Coaching: Unlock your potential and conquer your day with our exciting new time management group starting soon!

Show Notes: The Power of a Good CryIn this episode of Refine and Shine, we explore the often-overlooked power of allowing ourselves to cry and express our emotions. Drawing from personal childhood experiences and a recent emotional release during a Reiki session, I share how suppressing feelings can lead to emotional weight and disconnection. We also dive into how societal expectations affect both men and women, often discouraging the healthy expression of emotions.Incorporating biblical wisdom, we look at key verses like John 11:35 (“Jesus wept”), Psalm 56:8 (“God collects our tears”), and Ecclesiastes 3:4 (“A time to weep and a time to laugh”), reminding us that crying is not a sign of weakness, but a necessary part of emotional and spiritual healing.Whether you're someone who has been holding back emotions for years or just feeling overwhelmed, this episode encourages you to embrace your tears and release the emotional weight you're carrying. Both men and women can benefit from this practice, as it brings clarity, healing, and the realization that God is with us through it all.Tune in to hear how vulnerability and emotional release are key to living a balanced, healthy life.Key Bible Verses:- John 11:35- Psalm 56:8- Ecclesiastes 3:4- Psalm 34:18Host Contact Information:Website: www.angelinarivera.comFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/angierivera23Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/refineandshinepodcasthttps://www.instagram.com/the.angelina.riveraYouTube: http://www.youtube.com/refineandshinepodcastLinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/in/theangelinariveraFree Time Management Webinar:Always feel like you never have enough time?
