So you’re one of those kind, huh? 🙂 I wish I had a little more of that gene in me. We’ll just wave hello at the intersection of paved and dirt roads. ha. My daughter and I ended up some dirt roads recently on our way to a farm. Couldn’t believe GPS would navigate us through the woods like that, so when we finally ended back up on a paved highway, we were both very thankful.

“Sometimes risk is taking the path less traveled.”

You’re exactly right, Maria. God has an individual and distinct path for each of us, and if we are always just following the crowd, we’ll miss out on so much of why we’re here.

Love, love that you shared this, Betty. So often we get so caught up in our Christian circles in America that we no longer interact much with those who still need to see Jesus. Bravo for you in joining the writers club. I pray you’ll continue to have opportunities to show the love of Christ to all there. And enjoy the writing part too. 🙂

Good for you for going to Guatemala. (I wonder if that’s the trip I was considering taking–with other bloggers? I never followed up…) I know you’ll come back with many spiritual lessons to share with the rest of us. It is a risk but one worth taking! My trips to El Salvador were scary for me but I’d take absolutely nothing for the friends I made there and for the lessons the Lord taught me.

Rules can definitely be comfortable; they give us boundaries. And some rules we DO need to go by. 🙂 But yes, as far as our risking everything for Christ, we need to go all out.

Forgot this…a very very good post Lisa…hits home in many areas.
