(That's me--first row on the right, kneeling. đ ) 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
Godâs 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 Godâs Word Is Strong Medicine
New Life, Struggles, and New Joy
At the beginning of 1997, I purchased an âAnne Geddes 1997 Datebook.â I filled each dayâs 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, âWhat have I done to warrant Your silence? Am I in âtime outâ?â âNo, you are in âtime in.â This is a practicum, … Continue reading Monday Manna -Lessons in Silence
Through the Flood
Several days after my walk around the lake, Mike went in for his stress test. Mike worked at a large government contracted plant as a security guard. Every year they required the guards to run a half mile to stay qualified for their jobs. A security guard wasnât worth his salt if he couldnât run … Continue reading Through the Flood

Monday Manna – Seated in Heavenly Places
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 wasnât 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, thatâs the word. Itâs been two months, and Iâm still floundering from the fallout. Iâve 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
