One morning as I spent time with Abba, I heard Him say, "Your times are in My hands, Beloved. Climb up in this apple tree with Me." I see Jesus sitting on a limb, pulling apples from the tree. We sit on the limb together, dangling our feet. Below us I see cities, nations. It … Continue reading Monday Manna – Seated in Heavenly Places

Through the Fire
The next year and a half were rocky. I attended a Covenant church near where we lived. Freedom in the Spirit was missing, but the people were friendly, and I did get a chance to teach a teens class there. It wasn’t home, but it was a good place to rest. Our daughter, Sarah, was … Continue reading Through the Fire
Hindsight is 20/20
From my journal: Floundering, that’s the word. It’s been two months, and I’m still floundering from the fallout. I’ve been out of church except for a few Sunday services. Every time I go, I feel waves of accusation or people encouraging me to re-activate my flesh in past patterns of service. Yet, I cannot. I … Continue reading Hindsight is 20/20
Monday Manna – Be Transformed by My Word
God's word is powerful, more powerful than anything on this earth. Yet, how often do we lean in to listen or go to His operation manual (Bible) and search for answers? Here are just a couple of things He's spoken to me in the past about His Word:
Confrontation, Fallout, and Repentance
Huddled in a fetal position in the back corner of our bedroom, I shook with grief. The tears would not stop. Every shade in the house pulled shut, every door locked, and our phone was off the hook. Mike and Sarah were in California and would not be home for several days. “God,” I cried, … Continue reading Confrontation, Fallout, and Repentance
Monday Manna – Dance
We'd made an offer on a house in February. It was a short-sale. In April 2009, I was wrestling about not hearing from the realtor about our offer on the house. I asked Holy Spirit for more peace, more joy, more faith to wait in rest. Here is what He said: “You don’t need more … Continue reading Monday Manna – Dance
I Can See Clearly Now – A Trip Up the Mountain – Part 2
We were six hours into our mountain adventure. The guys were ahead of us somewhere and we girls were tired, but plodding on in hopes of getting to the destination. The woods ended with a blunt line of pines. Before us lay what appeared to be a meadow with a narrow path through the middle. … Continue reading I Can See Clearly Now – A Trip Up the Mountain – Part 2
Monday Manna – Unity
I was looking through my journals this morning. Unity in the Body is the call of Abba's heart. Here is something He shared with me: May 10, 2009 Holy Spirit, take me into scripture and help me enter into the narrative. I want to see Jesus. Psalm 133 Behold, how good and how pleasant it … Continue reading Monday Manna – Unity
I Can See Clearly Now – A Trip Up the Mountain – Part 1
I’d like to say that Mike and I walked through God’s open door and lived happily ever after, but that would be a complete lie. Neither one of us walked through the door. “I’m open to other options, but,” Mike said one day about two weeks later. I knew there would be a ‘but.’ “I … Continue reading I Can See Clearly Now – A Trip Up the Mountain – Part 1
Monday Manna – Be Still
Feel the nudge to start a new blog feature - "Monday Manna." My intention is to post something from my journals every Monday, something that will feed your soul and give you more glimpses of God. Please read them as if He is speaking to you. Each one of us is His special treasure. On … Continue reading Monday Manna – Be Still
