Face to Face

Monica Wilhite

Description

A volume of inspirational poems offers a space for reflection and encouragement for those on a spiritual journey to draw closer to the Lord.
The earth resonates with
sound released on nature’s doorstep.
The bellow of an elk in rut,
The rustle of leaves on a windy day,
Waves upon the ocean
as they ebb and flow,
The crack of thunder on a stormy night,
In a collection of poems inspired through years of conversations with Yahweh, Monica Wilhite shares a platform for others on their own spiritual journeys to reflect, contemplate, and journal thoughts, wishes, and dreams in order to grow closer to our Creator.
Wilhite shares poems that praise Abba while leading others on an introspective walk into the open fields of grace, truth, and revelation to transform the mind and heart and explore intimacy with the Lord. Her diverse verse explores worship, the awakening sighs of spring, a shepherd king, the fruit of the spirit in Him, the promise of joy, the world beyond the seventh star, a sweet Christmas lamb, and much more.
Face to Face: Conversations in the Cool of the Day is a volume of inspirational poems that offer a space for reflection and encouragement for those on a spiritual journey to draw closer to the Lord.

This book is dedicated to my first love Yeshua,
my eternal companion Holy Spirit
and to my loving Father, Yahweh.
What can I write
That hasn’t been written?
What can I sing
That hasn’t been sung?
You are Light
That can’t be extinguished.
You are Love
That can’t be undone.






This is a compilation of years of ongoing conversations with Yahweh. Many of these conversations became poetic. It is the way I relate to the world.
I have written this in order to share some of these conversations with you. They are for you to read, contemplate, re-write in your own words, or perhaps as a springboard for your own conversations with the Father.
I never really think of a poem as being “finished”. In fact, many of the poems in this book have been re-written, added to, subtracted from and some have even been combined.
I have added blank pages for you to jot down your own experiences if you so choose.
I hope you enjoy this little journey of mine. May the Lord deeply bless you and shine His loving countenance upon you all of your days.
Monica






There are so many people that I am eternally grateful to in my earthly walk that I cannot possibly write them all down here. But I will mention a few.
To my sweet friend Lisa Hoover who gifted me with a beautiful book that she hand-bound with some of my poetry. It is one of the most precious gifts I have ever received. In the front she added a note “get it published”, and so here we are. Thank you, Lisa.
To my wonderful, wild friend Kym Whitman who always keeps me on the edge of my seat. Thank you for your boldness and your willingness to share your heart and your life with all of us at Heart of the Bride and beyond. Thank you for being who you are with no apology! You are incredible. And you are love and kindness wrapped in the Face of Yahweh.
To my wonderful Heart of the Bride family. I do not know what I would do without this tribe of fierce lovers of God. You are truth seekers of the highest integrity. I love you all so much. Thank you for calling me friend, family, and fellow seeker of the Heart of Yahweh.
I would also like to thank my good friend Greg Ordway. You made this book a reality. I so honor and treasure our friendship. Thank you.



Preface
Taking a poetic journey leads you into a walk of open fields of grace, truth and revelation, intending to be a place of transforming your mind and heart.
Sometimes the journey seems circuitous,
Sometimes the journey seems inconsistent,
Sometimes the journey seems stagnant,
Sometimes the journey is straight up and down
and up and down. Sometimes the journey is comfortable and sometimes uncomfortable. Sometimes it seems the journey is perfect and sometimes not.
Sometimes the journey is very present and sometimes it seems too far away to reach. But all the time the journey is worth it.
You can’t rush the journey but saturate in the layers of meanings and truths that want to elevate you to living from a higher place. Take your time on each one to allow the journey to unfold for you. The joy is in the journey. The joy IS the journey.
Lisa Hoover

Worship
My heart opens
With love pouring upwards
Releasing Incense from the deepest
Recess of my soul.
As it rises
My life intertwines
Within the chambers
Of Your heart.
Eternal connection
Absolute, unbroken, complete.
I stand in the proof of union,
Face to face
Heartbeat to heartbeat
Breath to breath.
Your love, Adonai
Flows back to
