How God Satisfies Your Deepest Longing | Meredith McDaniel | DD 113
Episode description
What if our eyes shifted from what we need to what we already hold in our hands?
Meredith McDaniel is all about experiencing the hope and peace of God here and now by looking for the manna in her life and being a “manna maker” for others.
Meredith is a licensed professional counselor in Davidson, NC, and owner of her private practice Milk + Honey. She just wrote her first book, In Want + Plenty: Waking Up to God’s Provision in a Land of Longing. Inside the pages, she takes us alongside God’s people as they escape from Egypt and wake up each morning to manna, God’s provision for them in desert places.
Meredith tells us these four things about herself:
- “I love music. It is a daily part of my life.”
- “I really love Havarti dill cheese.”
- “Right now I have a thing for blue leather.”
- “Books have always been something I’m really drawn to…because of the stories that are inside.”
Meredith and I talk about the longing that everyone feels and how it can unravel us, but that God is always pouring out abundance on our lives … we just have to look for it. If we can trace God’s hand throughout our stories, we can see the “manna” that reminds us of His presence and provision in our lives. I loved my time with Meredith. She is a calming presence and so inspiring. I hope she encourages you and helps you see the manna in your life!
