My husband and I have a running joke when one of us, in the course of conversation, declares, “I had an idea!” The other one’s funny bone gets tickled and usually pops off with the reply, “Ah! Two BBs in a boxcar collided!” Somehow it never gets old; it just sends us off into a […]
Royalty Realm – Unconcealed
There is a state in the Royalty Realm where your heart as a believer can no longer remain concealed. It pulses with desire to know and be known by the Lord. It longs to know the plans He has been thinking of regarding you; plans he has designed for your welfare and safety, with a […]
Grace2
Today I am 55 years young! This is an especially meaningful birthday that I have dubbed my “Double Portion of Grace” year. The number five in the Bible means grace. My name, Nancy, means grace. I am alive by God’s grace. Earlier this week, I had the privilege of joining a group of nearly 50 […]
Royalty Realm – His Scepter Extended
Timid’s turn to step across the threshold into the King’s presence was fast approaching.

We now have in […]
Royalty Realm
Like most people, entering a new year gets my most hopeful juices flowing. I admit I was ready to wave “buh-bye!” to 2011. Then without so much as a hiccup, the New Year came splashing in upon us like a jet boat churning up water. We’ve been riding the wake the past two weeks. 2012 […]
Jehovah-Shammah – The Lord Is There

No matter what the next 366 days bring (it’s Leap Year, too!), the LORD is already there as each day dawns. He’s waiting just for you…and I pray you experience the magnificence of His presence for where the […]
Jesus, Come
To The Messiah the Prince* The honour of Your Presence is requested at the celebration of Your birth, once veiled in human flesh and infant cries, You are the Messiah the Prince. Jesus, come Your government, the increase of which will see no end, rests easily on your shoulder, and your everlasting peace infuses the […]
The Fresh and the Familiar
He said to them, Therefore every teacher and interpreter of the Sacred Writings who has been instructed about and trained for the kingdom of heaven and has become a disciple is like a householder who brings forth out of his storehouse treasure that is new and [treasure that is] old [the fresh as well as […]
