It appears that I have walked a long road in my life for a long time. At times the road has seamed very long and tedious at other times I have endured the heartache and smiled that a better day is ahead. Many of us feel we travel this road alone but indeed we only do the times we stop holding onto God's hands. I have been challenged to not hold onto bitterness but to fight the good fight to hold on with all my might. To seek God and not myself.
When I was a child I lived in the countryside there were no street lights and I would often have to walk back from my neighbors house down those dark roads alone but I always did it I loved been around my neighbor and often My Mum would come to the top of our drive and be there for me or I would run down our drive glad to see the welcoming lights of home.
If you think about it the long road of life should be run to the light knowing that God will be there all the way not just at the end with a beckon of light but every step he is shinning the light.
So to all who are struggling lets remember we are not alone.

What will you be remembered for?
My life has certainly been a yo yo since a I last wrote. Through it all it has made me think of what real Christians are. I use to think that often the people with money could so freely give to people in need but in truth they find it the hardest. I have had a friend cut my grass and I offer them a cupcake to say thank you. It is simple acts of kindness that I think God is looking for. It is praying when we feel there is no more prayer in us to pray. It is the time that there is no where else to go but say God I gave my all. I understand the widows mite so much more and what it is to give from the heart. I understand that to daily give over hurt and ask God even in the middle of the night when i cannot sleep to be there for me. I have thought deeply of what I want to be remembered for. My stories I love so dearly, my girls, my love for the countryside but if I had a few things to give I would say truly forgive and give openly like the widows mite did. She gave her all not expecting to get back anything yet in her one act of giving God gave her everything.
So I say to you in the deepest hours of our lives just remember the widows mite you can give even in those lonely hours and it can bring a smile to chase the darkest cloud from someones life. We are not alone we stand together holding a wonderful God's hand.
