2014 – The Year of Double Portion

December 30, 2013 by Nancy Bentz 6 Comments

Here we stand on the threshold of a new year. Three hundred sixty five days stretching out in front of us. What will we do with them? What will 2014 bring? And in return, how will we respond as it unfolds? I think Isaiah was a branch of the True Vine anointed by the Lord […]

These Shoes Were Made for Talkin’

October 10, 2013 by Nancy Bentz 3 Comments

Whatever Girls began with a pair of shoes.       Judging from my baby picture, I was a Whatever Girl when my dear friend and cohort, Erin Bishop, was still just a twinkle in God’s eyes. (Never mind our age difference!) I’ve often said, “The Lord never wastes anything in our lives.” Not a toddler’s penchant […]

Vineyard Days – Three Confessions of Love, Part 2

September 20, 2013 by Nancy Bentz Leave a Comment

If a branch is going to bear fruit, there comes a time in the believer’s life when growth is not an option. It is a necessity. To advance upon the stairs toward the heart of the Beloved means that Eros love must be left behind and a higher expression of love embraced. It is a […]

Perfectly Suited

February 1, 2013 by Nancy Bentz 2 Comments

“You didn’t ask for this, yet you are perfectly suited for it.” Such was the response given by the one who heard my lament while listening to my heart. We had been  journeying together long enough for this one to have received a fairly clear picture of my life story. Their observation landed deep in […]

Grace2

March 8, 2012 by Nancy Bentz 6 Comments

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 […]

Rest On Every Side

November 6, 2011 by Nancy Bentz 4 Comments

Before Tolstoy ever lived to pen his epic War and Peace, God had already put into operation the ebb and flow of wars fought, battles lost, victories won, and then… peace. Last week’s post about Jehoshaphat and the vast army that came against him and God’s people (The Place that Overlooks the Desert) was full […]

The Place that Overlooks the Desert

October 30, 2011 by Nancy Bentz 2 Comments

There are times the Lord allows the perfect storm because He alone has the perfect strategy. We are a less-blessed people if we engage the belief that the desert is simply a desert…a dry, dusty, tiresome, boring, miserable, endless trek with no good purpose. Even the desert has its times of victory! However, the only […]

When the Lion Roars

August 28, 2011 by Nancy Bentz 4 Comments

I have a beef with the Thief. He’s still prowling around the perimeter thinking he’s going to have the last say about this long cancer and reconstruction journey, but I have news for him…the Lion has already ROARED! The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy. I have come so they can have […]

2020 Special Edition - 9th of Av Revisited

You know it’s been a long week when it stretches into two… I left us all standing at the border between the desert and the Promised Land. While I was waiting on dusty tiptoes, you may have started tapping an impatient toe or two of your own. I apologize. I was practicing tonight’s blog… The […]

Desert Days – Standing at the Border

August 7, 2011 by Nancy Bentz 7 Comments

2020 Special Edition - 9th of Av Revisited

Earlier this week I came across a teaching that is the capstone my spirit has been waiting for to bring closure to this series on Desert Days. Instinctively, I’ve known for several weeks that the shift was coming but recognized that waiting for God’s timing was key. On the Jewish calendar there is a specific […]
