A Faith that Uproots Mulberry Trees

Posted in Faith + Hope, Listen + Watch

I’m trying something a little new. A little different. I know the power of listening to spoken word in the background while you’re working. Or cooking. Or doing whatever else it is that requires some multi-tasking.  The other morning, I was reading in 1 Chronicles 14.  About the men that came alongside David and represented so many of the 1 Corinthians 12 spiritual gifts.  And about their battle against the Philistines.  I was struck by what I was reading.  The ways that God connected them together.  How He always uses scripture to explain scripture.

Rather than writing it, I decided to speak it.  Below is a six minute audio recording about faith.  The gift-of-the-Spirit, 1 Corinthians 12 kind of faith.  The faith that uproots mulberry trees.  Thanks so much for listening!

Not sure if you’ve heard, but Mercy Like Morning is officially out of print. I bought all remaining print copies of the book (you can’t even find it new on Amazon anymore) and the rights have been reverted back to me.

It could have been a sucker punch, or a giant feeling of failure. But the TRUTH is that the book has sold nearly 15,000 copies. That’s a population of readers larger than my husband’s home town (not to mention the number of women who have shared their copies with friends, borrowed from the library, or bought used at a garage sale).

And do you know what craziest part about it? Seven years after its release, I’m circling back and drinking from the well of mercy I dug out when I wrote it. I’m living out my own truth (even if I fought it, hard).

I thought that was it for the hardest part of my story. Turns out, God is writing the latest tear-filled and mercy-coated chapter for a future second edition on the pages of my prayer journal. The day the FedEx truck delivered my meager stock of remaining copies, the Holy Spirit sat squarely inside of my spirit and whispered, “Your story’s not done yet. Not by a long shot.”

I don’t know what the future is for Mercy Like Morning, but I do know it will firmly remain the foundational cornerstone of my entire ministry. If you want to understand why I have Dig Your Well, you HAVE to read Mercy Like Morning.

Get your copy before it’s completely sold out for good over on my website:
