Monday

I thought it, HE provided it..

Just wanted to share quickly how much we are cared for from our head to our toes..
This last Saturday morning as I was preparing for church..getting kid 1, 2 and 3 ready.
I went to see what I could wear again and still feel special for Sabbath.
When I picked out my attire for the day, I then looked to coordinate it with some shoes.
Old shoes.
I remember thinking how it would be nice to have a new pair of shoes.
Sometimes it just takes something little to make the rest of the outfit feel newer.
Agree?
Anyways, I had to get ready to go with the family so I dismissed it and headed out the door.
My “desire” pushed aside and forgotten about.
After arriving at the church an elderly lady whose always has a nice things to say about what I’m wearing..comes up to me and says

“Dawn what size shoe do you wear?”

I smiled and tell her..and she says “well I have a couple of pairs of shoes in the car, so after church remind me to give them to you.”

Now at first thought I admit I wasn’t sure our styles would click..you know the age difference thing doesn’t help.
But I said “why thank you” and “sure thing”.
Yes I’m picky.
And I don’t have a snob attitude about 2nd hand..in fact I mostly shop this, but only when it’s my idea and only if it fits what I want.

So after church, she ask me to follow her out and I did, she pulls out the first box and opens it and there are some of my grandmas white sandal type high heel shoes.

I said thank you but inside was thinking..I’ve never owned any white shoes and I don’t think I’m ready to embrace this age, yet.
Then out comes another box but this time it’s a well known brand..which perks my interest if only a little, off come the top and there staring me straight in the face are a brand new pair of black sandaled pumps that left me slack jawed...I was in admiration mode then.
I was so giddy and realized at this very moment. NO ONE KNEW about the thought I had just had this morning about getting a NEW pair of shoes.
NO ONE that is except for GOD.
When I shared my excitement about this with her, she was as tickled as I and said she brought them for a wedding last summer and never wore them becuase they weren’t comfortable.
Said she was tickled I liked them.

When I went back in wearing my newer shoes to show my hubs..my “grand dad” snapped a pix of this..he always has a camera..so here’s the actual moment I got them ;) Can’t you see the happiness in those feet?!

You just never know what could become of your thoughts..hmmm ;)

Sunday

Lord I’m excited!!!

So much to be Thankful for and my heart is singing Praises to the Lord for this reawakening in my walk with HIM..

Even today as I woke after only five hours of sleep..feeling excited..over nothing other then the feeling of peace and understanding of how much He seems to love me!!

And you know what He loves each of us the same way!

You might be saying…”really?! how are you so sure?”

There’s only two things I have changed and have already felt a “invigorating” difference.

Are you ready for it?

I can tell you this, anybody can do it!

It’s fail proof.

No one is left behind.

Here’s the steps..

Daily Dig. Continually talk.

That is it!

What!? Your confused?

OK..let me state it plain and simple.

GET IN THE WORD..find a study bible or reading plans of the BIBLE and get in the WORD. And ask HIM to show you what HE wants you to know this day. The Holy Spirit will convict and correct you when and where it’s needed..so if you are feeling “unworthy” remember we all are and this is WHY we need JESUS and His WORD! You will be amazed at how much understanding of HIS LOVE HE has for you, that you will gain when you do this daily. TALK TO HIM about everything in prayer..on your knees before the day begins is best! Then through the day in every situation..while talking to others out loud talk to HIM inwardly and ask stuff like..”why /what /when/ where” be ready to listen/hear HIM and believe it! You will feel the presence of the Lord when you do this. Remember to always give Thanks in everything you see (oh thank you Lord for the smile from that stranger) hear (I am blessed by the sounds of laughter Lord , Thank you!) and look forward to doing it again (Thank you Lord for what tomorrow holds for if You are in it, it will be good!)

And that’s why I’m so excited!!!

Now if I could just reach through this monitor and give you a good Hug it would complete this post...hmmm…go hug a kid, that should be equivalent to how I would do it! :D
