"A worn path"

But in the way she found some conflicts. First she found a dog who was big and black, little scary, then she saw a hunter near by and hew saw her. Then he pointed a gun to her face but she was not scared. She walked all the Way to the town and being there she forgot what she was going to do.

This story is very encouraging, because Phoenix being an old lady she could get what she wanted, no matter how hard she had to try she did it. She found problems in the way but she handle them until solve them. This story remind me of two old woman in my church. They are pretty old but even thou of their age they walk themselves to the church, back to their homes, to the supermarket and back home. For everything they have to do they walk all the way. They get church really early to clean it, they sweep, mop, they do everything. They have health conditions but they do not think of that they think of doing something for God. Because the service is the biggest ministry of all. This really encourage us the young people to do the same, to fight for what we want, to cross all problems to meet our goal.
