The Lord says, “I will guide you along the best pathway for your life.
I will advise you and watch over you.

Psalm 32:8-10

Good Morning Beloved,

HAPPY FRIDAY!!! MySpaceGraphicsandAnimations.org

For some, that statement may strike fear, anger or sadness. There are some things we will never understand this side of heaven. The good news is on the other side, it won’t matter. Everyone has traveled a different ‘path’ to get where they are. Much along the way, we would have liked to change, or skip altogether. Our life can be like a cake. Who eats raw flour, baking soda, eggs, oil (or butter), sugar? Put those ingredients together (depending on who’s cooking), and you have something delicious. Everything in our past has contributed to the person that we are right now. (side note: everything we’re doing right now, will contribute to who we will become in the future.) I received a message from a former classmate this week. She opened a flood of memories. I knew her from elementary through high school. She lived up the road and she is a ‘little person’. I mention that because no matter how much kids would snicker, tease, and stare at her, it seemed to roll off her. She taught me to do the same when I was harassed. She was feisty and confident even as a child. Our friendship shaped my perception of people and broadened my perspective of life in general. There were people who did not like me, but asked me why I was hanging with her. Someone actually told me that she wasn’t my ‘kind’ because she is Caucasian. I found their comment to be amusingly stupid. They would not even talk to me around certain people, but she never had a problem telling anyone that I was her friend. I appreciate the path God chose for me. He has uncovered for me the beauty and worth of His most prized possession… humanity. No two ever the same, all made in His image and after His likeness … and He sees every one of them…
