Ponder the Path of Thy Feet.....

Lately I have felt like I have no "real" friends (except of course my Beloved and my children) around me... Don't get me wrong I have friends( Celina,Lanie) who are just a phone call away but I am talking about a friend that is with me through thick and thin. Through my straight forward ,honest not intending to offend ways, and will love me and truly knows my heart. Who will walk with me through every day life and who loves me at all times and loves me like a sister. A friend loves at all times,and a brother is born for adversity. (Proverbs 17:17 ESV) This scripture seeps to my bones, to my very soul.

In my children I saw the struggle of knowing what was right and trying to put that into action and still be "liked" within the public school. It reminds me of "For I do not understand ...
