I wish everyone would calm down.

If you think I’m gonna post an election blog you’ve got another thing coming. You can just forget it. It’s so overdone and I think you already know good and well what’s up.

With love and hugs,

Lesson from a 12-year-old country boy.

I’m at my home this weekend to vote, support raise, visit family, etc.

I had a meeting with some people that are even further from civilization than my parents, and their son had built a fort in the woods that he really wanted me to see. I told him I’d follow him out there if he promised it was not too far because I had to be going soon. He promised it was right on the edge of the woods, but I didn’t trust him because of past babysitting experiences…etc. He can be a sly one!

We trampled through his favorite mud bogging hole and entered the wooded area. I noticed that the woods here smell a bit different than Clemson woods and enjoyed remembering what it was like playing in the woods when I was a little girl. (Cause I did!!! I’m not too girly to do that contrary to popular belief!)

Anyway, I told him that we were getting pretty deep into the woods, and that it better be right ahead or I’m turning back. He said that is was. I said that it most certainly wasn’t because I didn’t see it. I followed after him as he answered, “Yes, it is, Erin. You just don’t know it because you’ve never seen it.” Sure enough, a super-cool shelter appeared right before my eyes as I nearly walked into the thing. Darn you, camoflage! >.<

As you know, it’s easy to get freaked out about the future. I do it at least two and a half times a day. Especially when you have to just follow someone blindly. You have no idea how long you have to wait or how far you have to go or how dirty you have to get. Sometimes God’s plan for you is about to explode any second, but you have no idea what it looks like cause you’ve never seen it. I want to tell anyone who reads this to keep following– even when the end is not in sight.
