MANNA IN THE MORNING

Lord, don’t let me get tangled up in the patterns of this world. Keep transforming my mind, day by day.

When anything feels "off" when reading the Word trust It as a sign to dig a little deeper. Don't just read the Bible "as is" if you will. Talk to a paster, take it into Bible study, pray about it, do a little conversing with chat gpt or even read the same part of scripture across several translations to see if it breeds deeper revelation and greater clarity.

The more I’ve walked through the hard parts of parenting, especially with kids who carry trauma or make choices that don’t reflect who I know they are deep down, the more I understand this tension. That ache of “what could I have done differently?”

Discover how David’s surrender in 2 Samuel 2 reveals the importance of staying connected to God—not just in hard seasons, but in every season. After nearly nine years of daily Bible reading, I’m learning that fruitfulness isn’t automatic—it’s a reflection of the importance of our closeness to the Source.
