My Story
About Me
Hello!
I’m Wendy Jones and I am here because I love the Lord with all my heart and want to serve and praise Him with all that is in me! I believe God’s inexhaustible riches are worthy of taking the time to ponder–together. My hope is that we will mutually benefit from growing together in joy and encouragement, in trust and hope, and that we will experience a fresh, rich deepening of our respective faith journeys.
So why First Things First? Every story has a good beginning and the greatest story ever told is the beginning of everything. It is there from whence all time and life began, and from there we are sustained. From the very, very first–He chose us all. It serves to remind us of the seeming timelessness between then and now. What an arc of history! What a patient lengthening of the Lord’s joy in welcoming us into the fold. The blood that courses through our veins at this very moment was continually flowing toward us from that initial, central story. A story still flowing, still continuing, still being writ large on the hearts of God’s people. Consider this beautiful quote from beloved theologian, Charles Spurgeon…
You take a divine promise, spoken thousands of years ago, and lo, it is fulfilled to you! It becomes as true to you as if God had spoken it for the first time this very day, and you were the person to whom it was addressed.
The decision to put God first in all things is the wisest decision a person can make. For in so doing, you have inherited every single promise the Lord has made from generation to generation, and you shall keep them from everlasting to everlasting! You have become eternity’s child. I look forward to sharing more about myself through this blog, and I am looking very much forward to hearing from you, my new friends in Christ. May grace and peace reign in your hearts…
