This week I have enjoyed remembering all those who have influenced my Christian walk. Today I am savoring the memories of family and friends who helped blaze my Christian trail. I have been blessed to grow up in a Christian home that was surrounded by other Christians. Some of my fondest memories include going to the local nursing home to help with crafts or helping serve at our church barbecue dinner. I remember my mom helping lead my Brownies group and my dad helping with Boy Scouts. 

As I became a young adult fresh out of college, I was blessed to have a retired teacher begin a young adult Sunday School class which helped to shape my Christian walk. When Clark and I were first married that same lady began a Bible study that we joined. Not only did we form lifelong friendships, we also formed a firm Christian foundation to our marriage. 

Through the years God has continued to bless me with others who have been trailblazers for my faith. I have been blessed to have others who have taught me through their experiences. As I reflect on and savor these memories I am also convicted that I must also be a trailblazer for others. I must be intentional in witnessing to and leading the path for others to learn about and become more like Christ. Who are you a trailblazer for and how are you blazing trails for Christ?
