It's Day 56 of  The Red Shoe Project and I have had several different pairs of RED footwear on throughout the day!  RED socks as I puttered around the house.  RED sneakers for my morning walk.  RED flip flops out in the garden. And RED suede flats as I headed out the door to facilitate a Bible class.  At one point, (between the flip flops and the flats), I totally kicked off my shoes, smiled as I glanced at my RED toe nails, and sat down at the kitchen table for lunch with my daughter.

I love breaking bread 
with someone special and 
discussing what God is doing 
in our lives.

Breaking Bread?  What's that?    Enjoying a meal together.  Conversing over a cup of tea or coffee.  Sharing Communion.   All of these suggest a time of intimate Christian fellowship... "koinonia." A huddling together, if you will, in uplifting verbal exchange.

With Someone Special?   Another Believer.  A Friend.  A Family Member.  A Fellow Servant of God.  Someone you care about.  Someone who cares about you!

Two is the minimum... because 2 is better than 1.

Why?    It's Someone to talk with.  Someone to listen to.  Someone to help solve the problem at hand. Someone who's smarter.   Someone to celebrate with. Someone who lightens the load.  Someone to confide in.  Someone to confess to.  Someone to uplift.  Someone who'll uplift you. That's Someone Special!

"Where two or three come together in my name, I am there with them". Matthew 18:20

 A two-some automatically becomes a threesome.  The Holy Spirit joins the group.  There are two or three of us, plus the addition of one Great GOD!  God brings with Him all His supernatural qualities and characteristics.  That means anything is possible!

Discussing what God is doing in our lives. Testifying of God's intervention.  Sharing God's secrets with one another. Lifting our voices in adoration and praise for what He has done!

I once heard a woman speak on divine healing.  She spent the first 1/2 hour sharing all her personal stories of how she, herself, witnessed God heal... her,  her family members,  her friends, and other people she met.  She proclaimed that she was "Stirring the Pot of Faith."  That's what happens when we share our testimonies with one another.  I stir the pot of faith for you and You stir the pot of faith for me.  My faith is increased in knowing that if  God did it for you, He can do it for me! and vice versa.


God is also glorified when we magnify his name and testify of His awesome works. We put Him in the spotlight for all to see.  We proclaim His Magnificence...  His Great Power...  His Great Love! We celebrate Our Victory in Him!  It's our way of Pointing to Him...  Pointing Him Out in the Crowd...  Elevating Him.  Lifting Him up for all to see!


These Great Times of Fellowship 
can often lead to 
Great Times of Prayer!

When two or more of us come together,  God joins the group...

"With men this is impossible, 
but with God All things are possible."
Matthew 19:26


As we testify of God's Mighty Works and His Goodness...
The Pot of Faith is stirred up within us... We BELIEVE!

"I tell you that if two of you on earth
 agree about anything you ask for,
 it will be done for you by my Father in heaven."
Matthew 18:19

My daughter and I finished our lunch together.  We took a look at some up-coming bills and placed them in the middle of the table. Locking our hands together across the table, we agreed that God is able, and asked for His Divine Provision.  Now,  we are believing together, and waiting in anticipation.  AMEN!

In RED shoes,
