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

Pure-Hearted

February 17, 2014 by Nancy Bentz Leave a Comment

Dear friends of Wellspring, it’s time for my monthly contribution to the Whatever Girls blog post. Today, perhaps your heart needs to hear the whispered answers of the Lord to every shout, groan, or sigh it utters. The link to His whispers is below… Pure-Hearted ~ Nancy

Vineyard Days – Three Confessions of Love, Part 3

October 29, 2013 by Nancy Bentz 1 Comment

If we could imagine the love of one who loves men purely for their own sake, and not because of any need or desire of his own, purely desires their good, and yet loves them wholly, not for what at this moment they are, but for what he knows he can make of them because […]

Vineyard Days – Selah II

August 22, 2013 by Nancy Bentz 3 Comments

I’ve been on a pause that refreshes. (A polite way to say my writing brain cells have been melting…) Where I live, we spent the last many weeks sweating in relentless 90+ degree heat. It has been a beautiful summer season, but like life, too much heat and sun without a cooling break can drain […]

“Wellspring” Third Anniversary & Birthday Edition

May 2, 2013 by Nancy Bentz 4 Comments

Three years old! “Wellspring of Life” and granddaughter Rielyn Jolene are celebrating another birthday! As my longtime readers know and for the benefit of those more recently added, I published my first post the evening of Rielyn’s birth in 2010 and dedicated the “Wellspring” blog to her. In annual celebratory fashion, it brings me joy […]

Vineyard Days – Parched Fields

April 29, 2013 by Nancy Bentz 3 Comments

Vineyard Days has been mulling around inside almost since I began writing Desert Days two years ago. Though I was experiencing a ‘parched field’ season back then, there was a growing assurance through faith that I had not traveled thus far in my life to remain living in desert-like conditions.  If my desert was to […]

Desert Days – At the Scent of Water

June 5, 2011 by Nancy Bentz 2 Comments

We’re not what I would call fully ‘green’ folks, but this weekend my husband was a definite tree hugger. The corner lot our house sits on was blessed with trees by the former owners. Planted twenty-five years ago, they were small clusters here and there of “little popsicle sticks,” they proudly pointed out when we […]

Desert Days – A Heart Set on Pilgrimage, Part 3

April 18, 2011 by Nancy Bentz 1 Comment

I love God’s trees, even in the wilderness. Not sage brush and spiny cactus, but the ones that stand as sentinels of God Himself. He began with one tree of import in Genesis – His ‘kindness and sternness’ (Romans 11:22) instructing Adam and Eve (and me and you) the single one to avoid in His […]

Hardening of the Hearteries

November 29, 2010 by Nancy Bentz 3 Comments

It’s been a while since the last installment of “what’s clogging up your wellspring?” (See Deflective Hearts post). For some reason, it feels like it’s time for another one. “Oh, goody,” you say. In this holiday season of making merry and eating even more merrily, some things continue grinding on in the background. You’re familiar with […]

It’s In The Water

July 18, 2010 by Nancy Bentz 4 Comments

During a few moments of quiet reflection in our church service two weeks ago, I was wondering about the blog post I would be writing that Sunday evening (see “Small Beginnings” July 11 post).  Wondering as in “what am I going to write about this week?” with the appropriate edge of whine that comes with […]
