So much of our lives is influenced by how we see God. For author Patty Howard, these words began a two-and-a-half-year journey of listening to God every morning with the expectation that He would speak. When God speaks, He meets us where we are and shows us who we are. Sometimes we are invited to share what we hear. With social media as her pulpit and her friends as her congregation, Howard shared what God had given her every day. The Holy Spirit did the rest. In Meet Me in the Morning, she has gathered those meditations, originally posted on social media, and compiled them into a devotional, mostly in the order and in the form they originally appeared. May these daily meditations encourage you, inspire you, convict you, and convince you that God sees you, knows you, and loves you beyond measure. This daily devotional shows how scripture applies to real life, in real time, and invites you to carry the ideas and insights beyond the page and into your daily life.

Patty Howard taught high school English for nearly thirty years before leaving education to become a pastor. As she has trained for ministry, she has been challenged to be vulnerable with God and with trusted others, to grow, and to allow herself to be formed into Christlikeness. She has two sons, two daughters-in-love, and three grand-dogs. She is associate pastor at Gather Church, where she serves both congregation and community.
