Day 52

Day 52 of  The Red Shoe Project found me in my RED shoes and on the road again! My car broke down, well over a week ago, 70 miles from home, and has been sitting in the auto body shop, waiting for a part.
 I must admit, spending all this time with God, has effected my "Worry Time" significantly.  It's almost non-existent.  I have been putting things that are beyond my control in His hands, and trusting that He will work things out on my behalf. Philippians 4:6-8 says...

"Don't worry!  Instead, step into your secret place and 
talk to God about all the things that concern you. 
Know that He is waiting there, with open arms, 
ready to listen. Be thankful ahead of time, 
for He will fill your heart and mind with such a peace, 
that you will realize, beyond a shadow of a doubt, 
that all is in His control. With that said, 
there's nothing really to worry about!"

My dear friend, Bonnie, has transported me back North where I hope to finally pick up my car tomorrow. As we drove together on the highway.  I thought about how blessed I am for the many new friends God is bringing into my life.  It appears that He is building a team.

I'm so glad that He's the one building the team.  For only He knows exactly who I need around me in order to fulfill His highest purpose.  As I glance to my right and to my left, I notice that He is bringing in some "heavy hitters"... Humble but Powerful.  Soft in spirit, but Driven to their knees. Mild tempered but Radiantly gifted.  Self denying and Hungry for more of Him. 


Everyone on this team will be treasured for who they are in Christ and the gifts that they bring to the table.  As individuals working together, we will do so much more than what we could ever do on our own. And as a team that's "Divinely Connected" with Christ... All things are possible, for His Glory!

As for today, it's just Bonnie and I, heading down the highway, Lifting up God, Testifying of His Goodness, and Believing Together for His perfect will (whatever that may be), to be accomplished! I love not having to travel down this Yellow Brick Road alone.  For I know all too well that...

"Two are better than one... and 
A three-fold cord is not easily broken."

Ecclesiastes 4: 9a, 12b

My traveling companion brings with her experience, strength, joy, laughter, wisdom, courage and...
dancing! 

So,  "We're off to see "
what God has in store!
