Mach I

Jennifred Jones

This is a fighter pilot term.

Breaking through the sound barrier…

Back when the USAF was designing stealth fighter jets. they came up with planes that could fly so fast, they’d break through the sound barrier and you could hear a big BOOM! up in the sky as it happened. We used to hear it quite frequently when we were kids….called a sonic boom. It was quite a feat!

…more to it than just flying fast…story be told, it took a certain physical stamina and determination of the pilot to break through the sound barrier. The pressure and momentary strain on his entire body was enough to make him temporarily sick.

However after he passed through the barrier, it was smooth sailing, easy, almost effortless….if he could just stand it long enough to get through all the initial resistance. Then each time he broke through it became easier the next time.

Then there was Mach II and Mach III !!!

Our personal lives have ceilings we need to break through, resistance we need to overcome, and if we can keep the above story in mind, we’ll be prepared to keep pushing …knowing we will get through, and then it will get easier every time after that.

How fast do we want to fly to our dreams? Can we decide to push through the resistance we will meet?

Be prepared for a whole new freedom and experience in your life. NOTHING can hold you back…if you keep pushing forward!

Seasons Change!

Jennifred Jones

I love living in the Midwest!

The seasons change every 3 months and something else happens.

No monotony here! I’m ready to finish out summer, as much as I like it, and move into a new fall, new decoration around home, new mums on the porch, pretty leaves on the trees, thick green grass again…

Our lives have seasons too, as in ‘this too shall pass’. Life is not to be drudgery, that’s not the definition of life! Life is growth, change, new beginnings, working through things, hoping for better, helping others through their ‘this too shall passes”

If we can keep the momentum, the looking ahead to what lies ahead, knowing we do have power over our lives to improve, change and move forward…always planning for the next thing to do, not staying stuck in the ‘this is the way it’s always been’ , we will enjoy the season we are currently in, knowing things will change.

If we think about a hill, the valley is actually very small compared to the hill…the hill is composed of the climb up, cross over the top and down the other side…all still part of the ‘hill-top’ experience.

I believe God gave us the happy, joy, peace to tap into far more than the sad, sorrowful, depressed parts of life.

He told us to choose life and that is my choice.

Sometimes I have to choose it many many times in the same day.

Will you choose life with me? Right now?

Let’s start a new season of life together, a better one!

Our Pasts

Jennifred Jones

A stopping point or a stepping stone?

Everyone has a past….most are riddled with hard times, disappointments and loss.

“Everything was trying and difficult, there is no hope of something different for me up ahead.”

OR, is the past your stepping stone to a better, different, more fulling future?

Could you become the artist of your own life…paint it into the picture of your liking…make it an original creation of your own hands… or is it up to fate, luck, somebody else or ‘circumstances beyond your control’?

A painter begins with only 3 colors…red, yellow and blue.

‘I can’t paint something unique and different with only these 3 colors!” He has come to a stopping point.

“With theses 3 colors, I can blend and mix and match into a zillion new colors never seen before!!!” He has come to a stepping stone.

Move from, “I only have…” to “with what I have I can…” and watch what will come out of it.

Our past does not mean a dead-end to our future, it is only a jumping point to a brand new beginning, and another beginning, and another…

It’s fun to jump off the diving board into fresh new waters, into a new experience, a whole new life.

Where do you need to step, jump or dive into your new you, your new future? …and when you come out of the water, you’ll be a fresh, clean, brand new person… ready to begin again!

1, 2, 3….JUMP!
