In January, 2012, I asked the Lord to share with me anything He felt I needed to know. This is what He told me: “Your God is too small. You have Me in a box of your making. You say, “With God nothing is impossible,” but, when you factor yourself into the equation, you limit … Continue reading Monday Manna – Your God is Too Small

In Our Weakness, He Glorifies Himself
When I got home from Israel, it was difficult to plug back into life as usual. My mind and heart were still connected to the Land. I closed my eyes and heard the sounds of Jewish singing. I could almost smell the garlic and olive oil that permeated every street on Shabbat. I longed to … Continue reading In Our Weakness, He Glorifies Himself
Monday Manna-Gifts of Power in the River
From my journals -- I was meditating on this scripture and the rest followed: John 7:37-39 On the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried out, saying, "If anyone thirsts, let him come to Me and drink. He who believes in Me, as the Scripture has said, out of his … Continue reading Monday Manna-Gifts of Power in the River
Dreams Come True Part 2 – Israel Journal Notes
I left Kansas City on May 19th at 4:40 PM and flew to Detroit. There I joined most of the rest of the tour group of thirty-eight, and on to Amsterdam. We arrived on May 20, at 12:30 PM, Amsterdam time and 5:30 AM Missouri time. Lots of flying and very little sleep. By two … Continue reading Dreams Come True Part 2 – Israel Journal Notes
Worship and Glory Defined
This message was presented on January 1, 2017 in Modesto, California at the Church of the Harvest. Worship and Glory are familiar words in Christian circles today, but do we know what these words really mean? Do we know what God means when He speaks them? I believe you will be surprised and challenged by … Continue reading Worship and Glory Defined
Dreams Come True Part 1
(That's me--first row on the right, kneeling. 🙂 ) On August 9, 1994, in Independence, Missouri, my life shot headlong toward Israel. It began in a windowless conference room, at the end of exhausting hours of discussion, prayer and decision making. Back tired and mind frazzled, I fidgeted on a metal folding chair. I glanced … Continue reading Dreams Come True Part 1
Monday Manna – A River Trip
On August 7, 2010, Abba gave me more understanding about His river. It is full of life and meaning. Here was our conversation: Holy Spirit, have Your way in Mike and me. Continue to consume me from the inside out. Continue to refashion and take up residence in every chamber-every hidden closet. Uproot the old … Continue reading Monday Manna – A River Trip
God’s Word Is Strong Medicine
It was wonderful to have a new baby in the house. We did our best to let Sarah care for her little one and stand by to encourage and support. The meds the doctor gave me for depression and anxiety were finally taking over. While the stress lifted, life continued to press. Thanksgiving was just … Continue reading God’s Word Is Strong Medicine
New Life, Struggles, and New Joy
At the beginning of 1997, I purchased an “Anne Geddes 1997 Datebook.” I filled each day’s blank with five things I was thankful for. Little did I know when I bought it, how much I would need to focus on thanks. The year was a series of eruptions. There were days I strained to write … Continue reading New Life, Struggles, and New Joy
Monday Manna -Lessons in Silence
In March 2014, I, and many of my acquaintances were experiencing more silence than usual. The warfare was intense but the conversation from the Lord, less than normal. I asked the Lord, “What have I done to warrant Your silence? Am I in ‘time out’?” “No, you are in ‘time in.’ This is a practicum, … Continue reading Monday Manna -Lessons in Silence
