Learning about the depression seen from the eyes of a 10 year old would be enlightening. I like the book "A Wrinkle in Time"by Madeline L'Engle and also "Wise Child" by Monica Furlong. Both are books that are geared for the teenager but very fascinating. I really liked this post Diane.Healing Womanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13654497453272680145noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6575813723620766605.post-24166463444940397622012-11-28T09:46:56.564+08:002012-11-28T09:46:56.564+08:00Of all the American Girl dolls, Kit and her story ...Of all the American Girl dolls, Kit and her story is my very favorite. My youngest has Kit, and she reminds me of my grandmother. Big Mama (my grandmother) was born in 1920. She was about Kit's age during the Depression, and I love to hear her stories about it. My grandmother grew up on a cotton farm in Alabama, so she and her family were blessed compared to the "town" kids. My great-grandmother also grew a vegetable garden, and they had farm animals, too.<br /><br />Big Mama said that her mother would pack extra food in their lunch pails to share with the children who had nothing to eat. I'm afraid that our country is about to go through another Depression. Our government is making terrible decisions that our children will have to pay for.<br /><br />Please pray for the United States.<br /><br />Great post, Diane!<br /><br />xo,<br />RJRicki Treleavenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00363865916909018452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6575813723620766605.post-55459575443668914792012-11-28T02:51:39.346+08:002012-11-28T02:51:39.346+08:00You are such a wonderful writer Diane!

You are so young Diane. I did make many life changing decisions in my 30s - securing a career, marriage, children, and a big move to a new area. Now that I am one year into my 40s (Holy Yikes!) I am reaping so many blessings from the choices I made and the path God led me on. It is scary, but the "other side" is so bright for you. :)Jen @Sadie Inspiredhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14854581138897026073noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6575813723620766605.post-49561136213465910922012-11-25T23:07:21.900+08:002012-11-25T23:07:21.900+08:00I think you are an amazing young woman, Diane. I ...I think you are an amazing young woman, Diane. I think conquering fears is all about taking one step at a time. Maybe it would help to write down all of those fears (big and small) and begin to check them off. I always lean toward tackling the scariest or most difficult things first. I hope my words might encourage you as they come from many, many years of experience.<br /><br />Thanks for visiting my blog, and good luck on the give-away!An Oasis in the Deserthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03775583025686145582noreply@blogger.com
