In December 2005, I was doing a word by word study of Psalm 91. As I meditated on the verses, God spoke this to me one morning: You are complete in Me—lacking nothing. But you can’t see that yet. You will! Those filters have to go. With your eyes you will behold the reward of … Continue reading Monday Manna – My Peace is a Weapon

Monday Manna – Rest in the Midst of the Battle
I asked the Holy Spirit, “Where do You want to go this morning? “The mountains.” “Let’s go, You lead,” I said. Pictures of different mountain streams and river scenes from my past flash on my inner screen. The stream at Highlands Lake, in California. The Mercy river in Colorado, the Stanislaus River at Big Trees, … Continue reading Monday Manna – Rest in the Midst of the Battle
Monday Manna – Praise and Rest
I began my time by telling Holy Spirit, "I’m totally distracted this morning. Reading and pondering, but I'm not ‘present’ with You."

As an act of obedience to an inner nudge, I put out my arms and said, "Lord, I … Continue reading Monday Manna – Praise and Rest
Monday Manna – The Smallest Details
"What is the price of five sparrows? A couple of pennies? Not much more than that. Yet God does not forget a single one of them. And he knows the number of hairs on your head!

Monday Manna – It’s About Your Focus
As I sat with Holy Spirit, I asked Him to show me how to hear Him more clearly. Step into My office. He said. I see Jesus seated at a desk in a forest setting, in front of a waterfall. Lord, it’s noisy here. I can hardly hear You. When your heart is turned toward … Continue reading Monday Manna – It’s About Your Focus
Wrestling While Waiting
My journals uncover the inner struggle. “March 12, 2007 – ‘Boxes and armloads of stuff fill my car as I head one more time to the Thrift Store. Closets and cupboards are sighing, relieved of their overloaded contents. It’s all surreal. The cleaning out of our home is therapeutic, but also sobering. The reality gaining … Continue reading Wrestling While Waiting
Monday Manna — Counsel to the Waiting
April 8, 2009 -- We had moved to California and put an offer on a house. We'd already been living with relatives for three months and ready to be in our own place, but nothing was moving.

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.
