Your Campsite

Jennifred Jones

We each live somewhere. That’s our campsite.

In each of our individual campsites we have the choice how we want to live and what we want to think. Within the laws of the land in which we live, we have that right.

So why do so many choose to live a terrible, unorganized, filthy life? Our choices have led us there. And as they have led us there, better choices can lead us elsewhere.

We need to reclaim our campsite – put out the fire, sweep up the ashes and get started on a brand new day! Chop down invasive trees and weeds. Cultivate the soil, plant new seeds, water the land so it will grow and produce goods for us and ours!

Reclaim your pioneer spirit making the best of what you have and increase it.

If we listen closely inside ourselves, God will direct us and give us new ideas to make better decisions and ways of doing things.

We can get our campsites organized, swept up and on to our next destination! Isn’t it fun? A new adventure each and every day!

Where is my broom?

New to New to New

Jennifred Jones

We’re not going to be stuck in our old. Everyday is new!

Every morning when we wake up, there is a new frontier ahead of us …waiting for us to claim! To explore, conquer, tame, build upon, improve, develop…

The past, your past, my past is over and we have today to look at. How do we want to see it? It’s only a thought away from what we want to let it become.

No one, absolutely on one can hold us to our past. We are free to break from it any time we choose.

Begin this morning to think and plan a new way of living, something very fulfilling.

There are no strings attached to your past. Yes, we may have some things to deal with, but the past is over and we have new choices to make, exciting times to think and plan.

The words on the chalkboard from your past have been erased. It is waiting for you to write new words about yourself.

‘I could never do that! You don’t know my past!’ BUT everyone has a past filled with possible regrets because we are all human! BUT GOD gives us the opportunity each and every day to begin again and start with a new slate, and tomorrow with another new slate and the next day with a fresh one yet again!

God has given us the choice to choose life. No one can take it from us, me or you!

Look ahead to your new day. Begin moving forward. There will be up hills and down hills, but momentum is gained with every step.

Don’t turn back or stay stuck in the camp.

It’s onward today, to the new, to the new, to the new!!!

What is my first step today?

Picked By God

Jennifred Jones

Everyone of us peoples… if you are alive then you are a people, has been created, not just made, but created…thought up, thought of, pondered over, uniquely, individually, skillfully, wonderfully (don’t stop reading because of the word ‘wonderful’…it’s true about you) created by the hand of God, Himself, who does not make any mistakes, is un-bribable, doesn’t change His mind mid-stream, or quit when things are difficult.

If you are reading this, and even if you are not reading this, you are in the ‘picked by God’ category.

God picks us and then gives us the choice to pick Him back.

The Bible says many are called but few are chosen. It is not up to us to decide who is and who is not. Our decision is to choose back– in accordance with God’s first choice—that He picked us, gave us the ‘want to’ to seek and find Him and say, “Yes, God, here I am. I want to be one of your chosen and live in your camp and be one of your tribe.”

And He will say back, “He that comes to Me, I will not cast away.” We may be cast-a-ways to the world, but not to our great big wonderful God. He has a secure fishing net that can draw us in out of the shipwrecks of our lives and place us on an island of safety that has a lighthouse on it so we can climb up and look out for others who might need help.

In this world of many men and women and too little of God, we need to know the power and love of the God who created, called and picked us. Sorry…we can’t get any credit for being good enough to get picked by God. He picked us because He made us and wants us and loves us, just like an earthly father would pick and love his child, because he came from him….not because of anything the child did, but just because he belongs to him.

Let God pick you. Then pick Him back, and live safe on His island in this world.
