I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ in me. The life I live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me. I do not set aside the grace of God, for if righteousness could be gained through the law, Christ died for nothing!
Galations 2:20-21

Mar. 1, 2009~ So many paths- why is mine so windy? ~
Have you ever been out on a walk on a beautiful day and all you want to do is enjoy the scenery. You don't want to hike up a huge hill or criss cross many different paths. You just want to stroll.
I find that is what I like to do in life- stroll. I love to enjoy the company, enjoy the scenery, ponder deep thoughts-but stroll.
I am thinking God does not have a stroll in mind for me right now. I feel like my life walk has been uphill, windy, slippery with ice and snow, wet with rain---anything but a stroll over the last few years, this yea in particular. But I am thankful. I am tired, but I am thankful. I do not even know everything I am thankful for. I am not even sure if I feel thankful all the time, but I know I am.
I am thankful that God is holding me up every step of my journey. He also is telling me what to do at each bend in the road- for if I did not accomplish what He wishes my walk would be for nothing.
So, as I reflect to myself I wonder if I knew this was my path would I take the walk again? I have to say yes. God is by my side, holding me up, listening to my fears, strengthening me every step of the way.
At this point I would have to say, ' Use me God. Do not let my journey just be a journey for me. Let me be used by You in others life through their journey.' And as I rest for night I must ask of the Lord-' Where to now and what would you have me do?'
I am a wife to a man who can do everything (Lovingly referred to as MacGyver), mom of 10 (1 married in, 1 almost married in and one adopted in) and a Nana to 4.
I am all about growing in Christ, family, handcrafts and the art of homemaking. My newest passion is knitting.
We live on a small homestead in NE Washington. Raising pigs, chickens and goats, growing a garden and revamping an older home.
