"Above all else, guard your heart, for it is the wellspring of life."
Proverbs 4:23

Eagle Armor

October 17, 2010 by Nancy Bentz 5 Comments

The LORD has the unique ability to be gentle as a mother hen, yet strong as the Mighty Man of War that He is. If ever there was a time that I needed to be covered by His feathers yet surrounded by a strong tower, it would be now. I love the promise in Scripture […]

The Art of the Apothecary

October 24, 2010 by Nancy Bentz 5 Comments

There is a blending of the natural and the spiritual going on in my life these days. When I get to the heart of the matter, all this blending is for one purpose only: to become unblended. Separated, singular, and set apart for Christ alone. Today, on a quiet Sunday morning, I was reading in […]

Shaking Prison Doors

October 31, 2010 by Nancy Bentz Leave a Comment

I have an axe to grind.  Pretty appropriate, considering it’s Halloween. For those of you reading this, I will forthrightly state it is my least favorite holiday…except for the little two-bite candy bars. They rock! (Or keep you awake on a sugar high when indulged in late at night. A word to the wise: be […]

Fleeing Seven Ways

November 14, 2010 by Nancy Bentz 6 Comments

There’s been a galloping sound in our house the past week. Our little grandson, not quite two years old, is enthralled with horses. His favorite toy, a stick horse that makes clopping sounds and alternately neighs and whinnies, portrays a simplistic picture of a pursuit that God has promised as part of this ‘remaking Nancy’ […]

In the Train of His Triumph

December 5, 2010 by Nancy Bentz 3 Comments

Another three-week cycle has passed this Sunday night and tomorrow afternoon I get to high-five my oncologist after my fourth and final round of chemo, praise God! I have been waiting for this day and have finally gotten there – one day at a time. The down side is that round three’s accumulation tuckered me […]

Faith: Trampling a Path Under Foot

December 12, 2010 by Nancy Bentz Leave a Comment

While I’ve been off on ‘God-ability’ (much better than just medical disability!) during this second bout with breast cancer, I’ve had plenty of time to reflect about a number of things. One of the matters I’ve found myself being quite passionate about is a seemingly straightforward verse found in II Corinthians 5:7 – “For we […]

The Chronicles of Nancy, uh…

January 2, 2011 by Nancy Bentz 2 Comments

…continue. The calendar may have turned the page on a whole new year, yet it remains winter in our lives, much like Narnia caught in the white slumber of snow and ice. Surgery and chemo are behind me, yet my husband and I yearn for Spring and the promise of reconstruction and restoration. More than […]

Strange Fashioning

January 30, 2011 by Nancy Bentz 4 Comments

The story is told of a beautiful stained glass window which graced a cathedral. Visitors came from all around to gaze upon the splendor of this work of art. That is, until a violent storm forced in the window and it crashed to the ground, shattering into hundreds of pieces. The shards were collected in […]

Woven in the Secret Place

February 20, 2011 by Nancy Bentz Leave a Comment

I have a date Wednesday with the Great Physician. The calendar marks it as the day the surgical suite I’ll be wheeled into becomes ‘the secret place’ where I will undergo a great re-weaving. In my Bible, Psalm 139 is noted as “for the director of music.” Perfect! Since angels will be on assignment in […]

Back to the Original

March 6, 2011 by Nancy Bentz 6 Comments

The re-weaving has been accomplished! Amazingly, it is natural and beautiful – a true medical miracle. Eleven days post-surgery, I am recuperating at home from my recent bilateral breast reconstruction and hysterectomy. While looking for a fitting Bible reference for this evening’s blog post, lo and behold, I discovered in scripture the perfect description of […]
