The Purpose of Transition and the Hush of Glory

Posted by Nan Jones | Nov 17, 2022 | Uncategorized |

Autumn reds have transformed into deepest burgundy velvet; lemon yellows now reflect burnished gold. Stark branches stretch towards the heavens and yield to the purpose of transition from fall into winter, acknowledging the hands of their Creator, the Lord our God.

I picked up my steps as I rounded the curve along our county road. A strong north wind watered my eyes and blushed my cheeks. But my thoughts turned towards Jesus and His unfailing love, especially His mercy, new every morning.

Steady My Heart, Lord. Life has Been Overwhelming

Lord, Your lovingkindness is better than life. Your love sustains me, comforts me, and gives me the strength to endure. Steady my heart, Lord. Life has been hard and I’m feeling overwhelmed.

When I look to You I grow stronger. When I speak truth over the enemy’s lies, anxiety withdraws into the shadows from whence it came.

And Your peace returns.

Encountering God Where a Bench Awaited Me

I grabbed my jacket and took off for a much needed walk. The periwinkle sky of November illuminated the remaining red and yellow leaves of fall. Sunshine bathed me in warmth as I labored up the hill to the white clapboard church where a bench awaited me.

My mind searched for reassurance and fought the unsettled spirit whispering in my ear. I reached the blessed bench. Sitting down, I rested my elbows on my knees, cupping my face in my hands. A frustrated tear trickled down my cheek as I allowed the Lord to search my anxious thoughts.

Jesus, You’re My Hope. Fix My Eyes On You

Lord, You have carried me safe thus far. Through the wind, through the rain, through the fire, and through the turbulent waters, You have been with me. Jesus, You’re my hope. Fix my eyes on You.

Thank You for being my sure place. Thank You for being the One on whom I can depend. When life is hard, I know I am not alone.

An Explosion of Light … In More Ways Than One

Posted by Nan Jones | Nov 3, 2022 | Uncategorized |

Ominous, black-stained clouds crept over the mountain ridge. Trees bowed to the ground under the influence of fierce winds as raindrops like bullets shot from the sky. Long, slender fingers of electricity lit up the darkened heavens. One touched the hill across the street with an explosion of intense light. I screamed and quickly ran from the window as my home shuttered against the thunderous boom.

But just as quickly as the midday became midnight, and the gentle breeze became fierce winds, the storm moved on.
