How Quickly Things Change

by Leslie Ann Jones March 13, 2020

How Quickly Things Change-Muscadine Press

This world is a crazy place, y'all. A week ago, we were washing clothes and packing up for a spring break road trip. Now, we're back home with an empty fridge (but plenty of toilet paper) thinking about how quickly things can change.

I don't have any deep wisdom to share today, but as I work to settle back in to normal life after nearly a week away from home in a world that's held captive by a global pandemic, I'm counting my blessings, trying to act with as much wisdom as possible, and setting my mind on things above. Because things below aren't looking too hot right now.

This is what I know. God is sovereign, even over this, and he is at work, even now. He is not defined by our current circumstances. He is good, always. He is right, always. He is kind, always. He is true, always. And he is present with us in the midst of hardship and trouble and anxiety. Always. I don't know what lies ahead, but he does, and I trust him.

There are plenty of people who are far wiser than me sharing lots of truth and reminders for us who believe, but this ministry exists to encourage the people of God to choose faithfulness day in and day out. Even when the days are long. Even when the days are hard. Even when the future is uncertain.

So let's be faithful, in ways both big and small. Count blessings. Give thanks. Act wisely. Love others. Trust God.

It's the least—and most—we can do.

Everyone Needs a Hype Squad

by Leslie Ann Jones May 05, 2022

Everyone needs a personal hype squad, people who are in their corner cheering them on in good times and bad. As believers, we're called to encourage those in our circles who are rocking life and those who are struggling along.

But Dust | Muscadine Press
But Dust

by Guest Author April 11, 2022

We live in a world that is constantly trying to push back the “dustiness” of our humanity, from creams for fine lines to hair dyes meant to cover those pesky grays. None of these things are evils, in and of themselves, but sometimes I wonder if we use them as a concealment to try to ignore the truth before our eyes, that we are in fact, dust.

No Time to Waste
No Time to Waste

by Leslie Ann Jones March 31, 2022

What does it look like to make the best use of our time? We’ve only got 24 hours in the day, and most of us spend at least 6-8 of them sleeping. Work and caring for our families takes up a good chunk of the remainder, so there’s really not a lot left over when it's all said and done.
