Day 20

This morning I was looking rather nautical in my navy and white striped top, navy capris, and RED flats.  And I was so warmly greeted, at the door of the church, by my friend, Wes, who was focusing his attention on my feet to see for sure if I was, in fact, wearing RED shoes!  "You're following me on Facebook?" I asked.  "Absolutely," he responded.  "It's day 20, I believe, right?" Yes... it is Day 20 of   The Red Shoe Project, and I am realizing that we have quite a few men joining us on this Yellow Brick Road journey towards greater awareness of the Power and Presence of God in our daily lives.  I love it!

Twenty days... They say that when you've done something for twenty-one days it officially becomes a habit. (One more day to go!)  You know, I'm realizing that things are changing for me with this Red Shoe Project.  Not that didn't think that they would, (of course, it's inevitable!), but I didn't expect to see so much change in such a short period of time.  First... my life is changing on the outside.  I've made some specific choices to spend more focused time with God.  So my routine has changed... what I do, where I go,  how I spend my time.  Second... I'm beginning to notice that those choices are causing a  TRANSFORMATION on the inside of me. I can feel a stirring in my spirit. My thoughts, my perspective, my heart, my feelings... somethings happening to them.

It's funny... the Red Shoe Project is about making an effort to look for God everyday in the world around me... but I'm realizing, more than ever, that He's also doing a work in me!

I've also noticed that Spending my time, CONSISTENTLY, with God is THE KEY to opening the door that leads to a deeper relationship with Christ.

Deeper... Fuller... More Powerful... More Magnificent!

Here's a Truth I've discovered:

Thinking about God is just not 

the same as Being with God.  

For example, thinking about a dear friend, brings great memories and feelings to mind. But that doesn't even compare to actually spending the day with that friend...  maybe having lunch or meeting for coffee, going bowling, or just hanging out and talking about things.  Right? One is thinking about the memories, where the other is making the memories.

With The Red Shoe Project, I'm walking it out.  Who wants to settle for memories of old, when there's still time to experience the real thing?  I'm living it!  I am developing a "New Normal"...  A life in RED SHOES.  A life of true Divine Partnership.

What about you?
