I was walking in new freedom, new strength, but the restoration of our marriage still seemed beyond reach. Trusting God to lead us, I pressed on with the path He'd set before me. Two months after Oaks of Righteousness ended, I was in Israel. I'd answered the call for my second six-week volunteer assignment. They … Continue reading Restoration God’s Way

Monday Manna- Abiding-part 1
I was meditating on John 15:4-5 years ago, and gained deeper understanding to this concept of ‘abiding.’ "Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in Me. ‘I am the vine, you are the branches. He … Continue reading Monday Manna- Abiding-part 1
God’s Love Helps the Blind See
Before I left for my next assignment to Israel, God did something radical in answer to my cries. My cry was, “Father, show me if there is anything in me holding back Mike and me in our relationship.” While Oaks of Righteousness uncovered a pile of stuff, there was another major piece God held in … Continue reading God’s Love Helps the Blind See
Monday Manna – My Presence
On August 7, 2015, I was spending time with Jesus. He took me for a walk and showed me a place to ever experience His presence. Here is some of our interaction: "Mary Ellen?" "Yes, Lord." "Will you follow Me?" "Yes, Lord." I see Jesus turn and walk down a well-worn narrow path to a … Continue reading Monday Manna – My Presence
The Sword of His Word is Perfect for Heart Surgery
Sometimes healing requires surgery. In my case, it would require a transplant. The next six months was to be a beginning. October came and went. My job as a stock person for Penney’s was one I enjoyed, even though my body suffered. I hefted forty to fifty-pound boxes full of men’s jeans. I sorted, sized … Continue reading The Sword of His Word is Perfect for Heart Surgery
Monday Manna – Worry is Not Love
“Worry is not a badge of love. It doesn’t make you a better mom or wife or friend. Worry is part of the enemy’s tools to get his kingdom built. Trust in Mine. Do you trust Me with the ones you carry on your heart? Do you trust Me with the cares and concerns of … Continue reading Monday Manna – Worry is Not Love
This Sheep Writes, But Doesn’t Always Sleep
I am a sheep. This fact may make you wonder about my mental state, but it is true. Jesus Christ is Lord of my life and He is the Good Shepherd. The Bible tells me in Psalm 100:3, “Know that the Lord, He is God; It is He who has made us, and not we ourselves; … Continue reading This Sheep Writes, But Doesn’t Always Sleep
The Spirit of the Fear of the Lord
God is about to bring a mighty change in our nation and He's ushering in the spirit of the fear of the Lord to assist in the process. Many people do not understand what this is, but this teaching will give you understanding and encourage you. The spirit of the fear of the Lord is … Continue reading The Spirit of the Fear of the Lord
Monday Manna-God’s Home, Your Heart
Lord, I want to see Your home. My home is in your heart. There is no place I’d rather be. Surely not Lord. Heaven is magnificent, out of this world, dazzling and beautiful. Yes, it is and you shall see it, but My home is in you. Oneness with My Bride, My children, means more … Continue reading Monday Manna-God’s Home, Your Heart
Through Brokenness, I AM Restores Hope
After touring Israel and the mission trip to Guatemala, my heart remained connected to Israel. I wanted to return. Little did I know the answer to my prayers would bring warfare and breaking. In November 2000, I wrote out my wants to God. "'Boker Tov' (Good morning) Father. I don’t know if it is emotions … Continue reading Through Brokenness, I AM Restores Hope
