“Look! There He stands behind our wall, gazing through the windows, peering through the lattice.” Song of Songs 2:9 Taken in the context of Solomon and the Shulamite, what lovely, poetic expectation of love. In the spiritual development of the Bride, her statement is nothing short of beautiful words that cut like a knife. What […]
Vineyard Days – Through the Lattice
For sixteen months I have waited for Vineyard Days to reach this point because I thought I knew what was coming. Turns out, it is all I thought – and more. Isn’t that just like our Beloved? I was a little girl when I first came to love the well-known picture of Jesus knocking at […]
Vineyard Days – Illumination
He had never stopped speaking to her. Nor would He. But time and life had brought the Bride to a critical point. Now it was hers to hear and answer. It meant awakening to the Bridegroom’s higher purpose for redeeming her life, without which neither of them would be satisfied. It was not His intention […]
Special Edition for The 9th of Av

Vineyard Days – Selah IV
In this Selah moment while we’re lounging in the house of wine, I’d like to share a little heart to heart. Having a heart isn’t easy. But if you consider the alternative, I vote for having a heart. Even if it hurts. Even if it gets shut down. Even if it beats wildly with joy! […]
Vineyard Days – Do Not…Until

As you recall, He was entreating them to […]
Vineyard Days – The House of Wine
PROLOGUE One hundred and one days. It was March 31 when I last posted in Vineyard Days. Far too long to my way of thinking. However, there was a diligence in the disruption. Here at Shammahs Field, the first half of this year has been spent sharpening our ears to hear what the Spirit is saying, […]

Vineyard Days – Horticulture of the Heart
Now the parable is this: The seed is the Word of God. But as for that [seed] in the good soil, these are [the people] who, hearing the Word, hold it fast in a just (noble, virtuous) and worthy heart, and steadily bring forth fruit with patience. Luke 8:11&15 (AMP) ~ Jesus speaking I love reading what […]
