I learned of this boy about a week ago on facebook and even though I have had issues to deal with I really want to share his story. Most of my readers are crafty and make cards and have even started making some. Please take the time to send this little boy a card and make this season special for him!

Scripture challenge week 46 - Path

Imagine you are in a park at night. Before you, you see 2 paths to your car. You know the paved path that everyone uses is well worn, you know it will get you to your car faster. BUT it is not lit. You know it is riddled with cracks and holes, lined with tall brush next to some woods, and very winding. You know that following that path you risk falling and getting hurt with no chance of help as it is very late.
The second path is dirt, well lit but hilly , a longer harder struggle to get to your car. You see that it is dotted with help phones along the way , far apart maybe but you know you can call for help should something happen and it would get there fast.
Which would you take?
It seems logical doesn't it? Yet in our struggles of life most people choose the pot hole ridden path because its easier. Walking the right path is never easy. We have to use those help phones called prayer to stay on the well lit path. We may look at that other path with longing ,wishing we had chose it, but the well lit path will take us to the desired destination (God) in one piece and in the intended shape we were meant to be.

Answers to those dawning questions...

A couple weeks ago I gave you guys the chance to ask me anything and as I suspected I only got a few. However I am still going to answer them and if you ever get the urge to ask another ask away.... so here goes....

Bridgett asked
If you could change anything about your life now, what would it be?
It would be asking my son to return home to live with us. I miss him horribly. But I also understand why he needed to go live with his dad. It was hard on him when Chris got deployed.
Jeannie asked
What is the one thing you would love to do but have been too chicken to try?
That would be trying to push myself to try harder in getting myself out there in the crafting and bloggy world. LOL those who have talked to me in person get my humor but somehow it gets lost in type. But I would love love love to meet more fun people ...like Jeannie here.
Pam asked
Where were you in Germany that you enjoyed the Christmas markets? (I LOVED it over there!!!)
We lived in Schweinfurt for 7 years and I miss it so much. I think I was born to be European. I lived about a third of my life over there. My dad was stationed there when I was younger as well. Though I enjoyed it much more as an adult. It freaked me out that the germans doted on me when they saw me as a kid. It did have bonuses though I got a lot of free candy as a kid.

Well that's it not too many questions asked but they still deserved an answer! LOL now if that opened up any more questions into my world I will be glad to answer them.
