THE RIGHT TIME

 

by

 

Paula Moldenhauer

 

It was in my 50th year the Holy Spirit called and a very personal, year-long devotional series was born. It’s called Soul Scents: A Journey in the Son’s embrace. While the four-book series comes from many years of journeying with Him, there are parts of these books I couldn’t have written until that exact moment.

 

As over 50 writers we are in a wonderful position to write what we couldn’t have before now. Our wisdom and courage have (hopefully) grown with our experiences, and our ego and self-protective devices have shrunk.

 

I don’t know what you’re dreaming about, but my over-50 story continues to surprise me! It was in my 50th year that the Lord prompted me to start an indie publishing company, Free to Flourish! While I still write for traditional markets, this launch into something I never dreamed of doing allows me (by God’s grace!) to be crazy-productive and to write what my heart chooses instead of focusing toward a particular publisher or genre. As long as the project fits my mission statement, it’s fair game!

 

I share this because I want to encourage you. As you dive into your own Over 50 writing journey, don’t let the amount of years ahead or behind you dictate emotions or productivity. Ask God for direction, and be willing to move as prompted. You just might be surprised at how much you accomplish.

 

Right now from Free to Flourish Publishing we have four devotional books, three light-hearted Christmas novellas (in the Tinseled Tidings collection), and one full-length novel—all produced in less than 2 years!

 

We also have an Advent devotion, Soul Scents: Flourish Selections for Advent, that I offer as a free PDF  on my website. I hope you’ll download one for your personal worship this holiday season. (If you prefer to read on Kindle, it’s available for 99 cents.)

 

book cover blurb for Soul Scents: Flourish Selections for Advent

Soul Scents: Flourish Selections for Advent offers four weeks of devotional thoughts, Scriptures, and prayers for meditation and worship in the weeks before Christmas. If you're celebrating Advent with candles, you can use Sunday's reading for reflection as you light the candles of hope, peace, joy, and love. It also includes a scripted prayer and suggestion for worship. Monday through Friday's daily readings focus on concepts like Christmas memories, the Christmas tree, the Cross, celebration, nativity, and worship. On Saturday journal questions prompt reflection on the week's worship experience.

Soul Scents: Flourish Selections for Advent is taken from weeks nine through twelve of the Soul Scents: Flourish thirteen-week devotional book. Additional content for reflection during the lighting of Advent candles and at the end of week is included only in this special holiday edition.

 

Here’s a sample. May you be blessed!

Week Four~ Vignettes of Worship

Day 1: Quiet

Be still, and know that I am God.

~ Psalm 46:10 KJV

The hush that accompanies a heavy snow speaks quiet into my soul. The white blanket muffles the sounds, and even with the cold, I feel somehow insulated.

The snow changes everyday noises too. The ground underneath my feet now gives off a crunch instead of a clack or a thud. Even my car tires make a wonderful, squeaky sound as I pull into our cul-de-sac on a cold, snowy night.

There’s stillness in a freshly snowed-in world that I don’t experience at other times, and it makes me want to do calm things—like bake cinnamon rolls, read a good book, or take a leisurely walk to watch snowflakes fall.

When it snows at night, one of my favorite things to do is to brew myself a hot cup of herb tea, turn off all the lights, and watch the snowflakes out my window as they drift earthward in the glow of the lamplight.

God feels very close in these times. Perhaps the changes in routine, the slowing down for a snowy day, and the hushed, snow-muffled sounds help my heart quiet. I’m not sure. But I notice the Lord in the stillness.

There are many types of noise in life. A blaring radio and angry, honking rush hour traffic is noise. Busy schedules and long to-do lists are noise. Hateful words, unjust criticism is noise. But noise can also be found inside us. Worry and fear rattle around in our souls until they feel harried and loud instead of hushed and peaceful. Anger—whether at others or ourselves—can make our hearts clang with rapid heartbeats and heated scenarios. Taking those outside voices of negativity and assault into my interior places—owning them. Perhaps that’s the worst kind of noise.

But Jesus says, “Be still, and know that I am God.”

The world curses. The heart bruises. The verbal and emotional scarring.

It was part of Jesus’ crushing.

And from the fragrance comes my freedom.

He says I am worthy.

He says I am loved.

Though my sins and the sins of those who wounded me are many, He says, “Come, let’s talk this over, . . . no matter how deep the stain of your sins, I can take it out and make you as clean as freshly fallen snow” (Isaiah 1:18, TLB).

Like the blanket of white which covers my yard, unmarred by a single footstep, He covers me.

I am as clean as freshly fallen snow.

I am untouched by noise of the enemy.

All is blanketed, hushed, as the presence of Jesus reminds me of the truth.

I am new. Safe. Pure. Enveloped in His feathery blanket of white.

So are you.

Sweet Jesus, let Your peace fall upon me, as pure and gentle as snowflakes. May I know You in this hushed moment. May I believe in my purified state.

 

Book cover blurb for Soul Scents: Flourish (giveaway book)

At just the right time in history God sent His beloved Son to set the captives free and claim victory over the darkness. At just the right time in each life God shows His child how to step into the freedom He already won. 

Lie weeds twist around the good plantings of our heart, choking abundant life, but when we step into truth, the tendrils of that vile weed uncurl. In this fourth volume of the Soul Scents series, Paula talks about her journey out of emotional, verbal, and spiritual abuse. She says, “As God reveals how pain and abuse twists our understanding of who He is and how He works, the distrust falls away. The root of the lie weed is exposed, and the Lord pulls that sucker out completely! In its place comes a deepened intimacy with Jesus and the joy we’ve prayed for but couldn’t find. We rise from the pain and live free to flourish.”

Take the Flourish journey and brave deeper healing, letting go of shame and learning to live as vibrant daughters of the King! 

 

The Soul Scents collection invites readers into an ever-deepening discovery of who God is and how He interacts with us. Combined, its four volumes—Awaken, Rooted, Bloom, and Flourish—offer a year’s worth of devotional reading. Each book has thirteen weeks of down-to-earth insight gleaned from Scripture and the author’s journey into spiritual freedom and designed to aid in inner healing. The week-day readings include Scriptures and prayers. Rest in the Son’s embrace as you enter the beautiful heart of the Freedom Giver Himself.

Paula’s books can be purchased on Amazon.com. The full-length Soul Scents books are available in print and electronic format.

I'm very touched by the comments I'm seeing. What a lovely community you all have here at The Over 50 Writer. It doesn't look like I can respond personally to other comments, but I'm truly touched by each one. And Frances, I'm praying for you and your daughter. She is courageous! Glad she has you.

Becky Smith From Kansas City,Missouri At 11/9/2017 10:18:37 AM

I really enjoyed getting to read about Paula and her books, while we are sitting here and watching the snow flurries today. It reminded me of a favorite song that says, "Clean before my Lord I stand. And in me not one blemish does He see..." Thanks for this post!

Reply by: Patti Shene

Hi Becky. Yes, it is amazing and wonderful how the Lord cleanses us, removing the blemishes of sin from our hearts and leaving them white as snow. Speaking of snow, I'm jealous! I love snow! We saw a flurry here a few nights ago as well.

Gail Kittleson From Iowa At 11/9/2017 10:09:54 AM

Thanks, Paula - stories like yours keep us going! Remembering all the people who flourished in their later years encourages me - Colonel Sanders, etc. - always gives me a lift. May your publishing bloom like crazy!

Reply by: Patti Shene

Hello Gail. Thank you for stopping by and leaving words of encouragement for Paula.

Tammie From Illinois At 11/9/2017 10:01:29 AM

Beautiful. I love and write devotionals. Would love to have one of these.

Reply by: Patti Shene

Hi Tammie. I've read the first three of Paula's devotionals. They touch the heart.

Cleo Lampos From Oak Lawn, IL At 11/9/2017 8:40:42 AM

Your book sounds intriguing because my husband and I just finished a course in urban farming and the two ideas seem compatible. Blessings on all of your ventures.

Reply by: Patti Shene

Hello Cleo. Thank you for sharing and leaving a comment for Paula.

Frances Brown From Massachusetts, USA At 11/9/2017 6:44:11 AM

Your words have come into my life at exactly the right time. Synchronicity. My daughter is just facing a big transition in her life, escaping an emotionally abusive situation. Your inspiring words have given me courage to help support her.

Reply by: Patti Shene

Hi Frances. So glad Paula's post has provided the inspiration you need to help your daughter through this difficult time in her life.He
