Wellspring of Life and granddaughter Rielyn turned four years old today! When I published my first post on May 2, 2010 there was no way of knowing what the next four years would bring. Life has been full of joyous and difficult seasons, but one thing remains the same: our Lord. He is more than […]
Royalty Realm – It Is Finished
Advent – an arrival or coming, especially one which is awaited… A week ago I completed a 23-year chapter in my life. I spent the week of December 10 engaged in an 18-hour counseling intensive. Immersion was deep as I spent hours in addition to the counseling sessions on daily homework assignments designed to write […]
Royalty Realm – Overshadowed by Grace
Remember Peter, Paul, and Mary? No, I’m not talking about the US folk-singing trio of the sixties (though I now have If I Had a Hammer stuck in my head…), but a biblical trio mentioned in scripture as being ‘overshadowed’ by the Lord. The first mention in the New Testament was in Mary’s story when […]
Royalty Realm – Beautiful Army of God
God is mustering a beautiful army. To the world, we are anything but. But then, beauty has always been in the eye of the beholder. For each member of this beautiful army, there is only one Beholder whose opinion counts. Oxymoron that it seems to be, the beautiful army of God – covered with His blood and one’s own […]
Royalty Realm – Sleeping Beauties, Part 2
When have you experienced the kiss of the King? As I sat down to write this post, that question was in my mind. So, I first tried to answer it myself before I asked it of you… Was it as a sick year-old baby in the hospital when I needed comfort? Was it as a […]
Royalty Realm – Sleeping Beauties
“God is raising up an army…and the Body of Christ is full of Sleeping Beauties who need to be awakened!” It was one of those “Who said that?!” moments as it popped out of my mouth. The three of us sharing lunch went silent for a moment as we felt the force of that provoking […]
Royalty Realm – The Real
Then the LORD God formed a man from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life,and the man became a living being. Genesis 2:7 A holy hush brushed warm against his face. His footsteps fell softly as he approached the door. It stood high and imposing but with the […]
Royalty Realm – Ruined by Grace
Sometimes, “speechless” is the only word in my vocabulary. Recently my husband and I had occasion to be in public settings where what was displayed grieved the Spirit of Christ within us. While in for a car repair one Friday afternoon we were exposed to something on cable TV in the dealer’s waiting room we […]
Royalty Realm – Awakened
I am a dreamer. No, not the ‘head in the clouds’ type, but one who dreams the dreams God gives. As a result, there is a verse I have come to love as the Holy Spirit visits me in the sleeping hours: “I slept, but my heart was awake.” Song of Solomon 5:2 Such was […]
Royalty Realm – A Teachable Spirit
It is difficult to learn anything new if you are not paying attention. It is even more difficult to learn the ways of the Kingdom if you are paying attention…to the wrong things. One of the titles others bestowed on Jesus in his day was “Teacher.” When I consider His humanity, it is this aspect […]
