It was an emotional reunion, which was made much harder when her brother was forced to tell her that their parents had died while she was away. Of course, Lewis and Clark and all their men were treated like fam- ily, loaded with provisions, and sold all the horses they needed to make the difficult crossing.

Jean Baptist died at the age of 61. What became of Sacajawea is uncertain. It’s known that she gave birth to a baby daughter while she lived in St. Louis, who died as a child. Some claim Sacajawea died of a fever at the age of 25; others say she died an old woman in 1884. •It is sad to reflect that if Sacajawea died in 1884, she would have lived long enough to see the genocide and subjugation of the Indian nation by the very nation of people she had assisted by leading them across the wilderness as a young woman.

• In 1803, President Th omas Jeff erson completed the Louisiana Purchase. Jeff erson hired Lewis and Clark to explore the area. Lewis and Clark and their men left St. Louis on their journey in 1804, and stopped to spend their fi rst winter with an Indian tribe in what is now North Dakota.

It is thought that Char-bonneau won her hand in marriage in a card game. When Lewis and Clark met her, she was pregnant, and soon gave birth to a baby boy named Jean Baptist.

• Lewis and Clark needed someone who was familiar with the ter-ritory to help guide them to the Pacifi c coast, and Charbonneau was a good match.

It Won’t Work Unless You Work It By Dorcas Graham

Th e thing about success is that it is a mystery to most of us. It is a risky thing to work at something for weeks, months or even years before seeing results. In the beginning everyone is your biggest supporter. Everyone likes a good success story; more than that, people just like new, including you. Th at fresh, clean smell of a brand, spanking new project is like euphoria unleashed. Th e air feels cleaner, your back’s a little straighter and you have a positive word for everyone who crosses your path.

Even if you haven’t quite done anything yet you’ve thought it through, talked about it, prayed over it, read as much as you could take on it. You’ve inspired yourself into a type of: Tony Robbins/T.D Jakes/Joel Olsteen fi t. You and your parents, men-tors, sisters, brothers and closest friends all agree that this is the perfect time to do it.

So there it is. Grinning like a guy in an ad for a Colgate commer-cial, you give your sleeves the perverbial roll-up, turn from the inspiration to the task it takes to get there and sigh.

It is then you remember the errand you have to run, that phone call to what’s-his-name that has to be made now because you haven’t spoken to him in forever. You fi nd everything to do but

work. I could call this procrastination, but this really wouldn’t be digging deep enough.

It is that fear of “I am not enough” that creeps in aft er the dust clears and all you can see is labor. Let’s face it, inspiration doesn’t last forever. It’s like falling in love. At some point in the relation-ship, your stomach doesn’t do that ‘thing’ when you see him, down the line you won’t think of him every hour or giggle to yourself when you do. Nope. It doesn’t mean that the love is gone. It simply means that you have settled into something more sus-tainable. Th e energy of love is still there but it has been redirected to the needful things; sharing the remote, washing his clothes, remembering to order the Chinese food without shrimp because he’s allergic.

Likewise, with projects the energy of shouting it to the moun-taintop has to be redirected to actually developing the business plan, making the cold calls and perhaps hearing 101 ‘no’s before you hear a ‘yes’.

Th ere is always the fear that you will invest time and money in this and your project will mock you and then kneel over and die. A tiny dark voice will whisper that you are not enough; no one will ever buy, invest or believe in this thing and that they will all stare at you with glazed eyes in the middle of your presentation. Th ere will be that sickly feeling inside that all those who are on

board with you will be embarrassed and disappointed by this fantastic dream of yours. And yet you will have to tell yourself that this will work and it is meant to be. When you stop believ-ing it, you will have to say it again and again until you believe it again. Eventually you will have to fi nd that place inside that will sustain you through this task. It is this fi ne line that separates the winners from those that just like winners--we all do.

Th is thing of yours is not for any prize or accolades but it is because something has weld up inside of you and won’t go away until it is realized. It is the God inside of you telling you that this is His plan, His will, His way. But it won’t work itself. So work it.

ActivateActivate your love for God and for others by telling them that God loves them and is for them and not against them. Be sure to say, “I love you, too.” Th ere are some people who think God doesn’t love them and many who think no one cares. You can make a diff erence. Words that align with God’s words are powerful. A smile is not a smile until given away. A bell is not a bell until you ring it. A song is not a song until you sing it. Love in your heart is not put there to stay for love is not until you give it away. Th ere are many hurting people and you can help by showing kindness and giving them the words of life, God’s word. Th ere are people who worry about every little thing when, if Jesus is in you, every care can be cast upon him for he tells us that he cares for us. Worry can do much harm. It can depress us and drag us down. Most of us do tend to worry at times, but let us be quick to cast those cares upon the Lord and let him take them for he tells us in his word that he works everything out for good to all who love him and are called according to his purpose. May we make a diff erence in someone’s life by giving of the blessings that God has given us.

A Note From the EditorYears ago my sister-in-law and I, with children in tow, would meet up for weekday lunches at my father-in-law’s house. We would sit on the porch, talk about current events, share family news and eventually drift inside for a potluck lunch. On one occasion I remember ducking inside the refrigerator and pull-ing out the dish I had brought to contribute to the lunch table. I lifted and tilted the dish and liquid poured inside the fridge - seeming to leave no shelf or item una� ected. Now, I can’t quite remember what dish I brought that day however, I do remem-ber that the accompanying liquid was sticky and pungent.

With a deep sigh and frustration with myself I grabbed a dish cloth and bowl of warm soapy water. I remember pulling ev-erything out of the fridge, wiping down each item and shelf, and even removing the drawers and washing those out. As I worked diligently, careful not to miss any of the spill, my sister-in-law passed behind me and said with a chuckle, “Wow, I wish you’d come spill something in my refrigerator!”

I’ve come to relate this incident to our mistakes in life. Wheth-er we’ve created grief for another by accident, carelessness or poor judgement, the truth is we very often leave a mess. We must quickly resolve the best way to clean up that mess and leave the person a� ected in better shape than we found them prior to the problem or con� ict.

It would’ve been so simple to close that refrigerator door in hopes that no one noticed the mess I had made at my father-in-law’s house but I became focused on a. Doing the right thing, b. Freeing my loved ones from sticky and stench and c. Demonstrating the “do unto others” philosophy. The clean fridge gave me a clean heart and we must always take every opportunity to right our wrongs, no matter how much time and energy is required.

Be blessed,Audrey Chambers
