It's Day 82 of The Red Shoe Project. A lot has been going on these past several days as I've continued to sport a variety of different shoes -- all RED.
I've noticed that things can get pretty exciting, fast paced and one right after the other with God! But as I've been continually looking for Him, talking to Him, and partnering with Him, I have noticed that He never forgets to say... "Today, you rest!" (And it's not just on Sundays!) He understands better than anyone, (myself included), my human limitations, so He requires me to sit still on a fairly regular basis.
Sometimes it's my physical body that needs to rest. I can only run around so much before conking out. LOL. Other times my mind needs to rest. Studying, reading, planning, preparing, development... there's a lot of creativity going on, but if I don't allow it some space to breath, it will become congested and the flow will come to a stop. Still other times, I need emotional and spiritual rest. Being in the presence of God continually, as wonderful as it is, can be intense. I need time to digest some of the things that take place. And I need time to apply personally the things I learn.
Plus, it's not just about taking in. After filling up, it's time to give out. That's how the flow of God operates. Testifying to others is a way of giving out. Teaching others is a way of giving out. Serving others is a way of giving out. Hoarding God's Goodness is not an option!
I have to admit, this new job of mine, The Red Shoe Project, is different than anything I've ever experienced.
It's awesome working with "The Lover of My Soul!"
It's funny how much more productive you can be when you LOVE what you are doing and who you are doing it with.
- It's such a positive environment.
- I'm developing great communication skills.
- There's never a dull moment.
- There's always plenty of good things to do.
- The rewards are simply divine, and beyond measure!
- Talk about "WOW" moments... they occur frequently.
- My heart is forever content, full and satisfied.
- There are surprises at every corner!
- There's lots of singing and dancing.
- I'm continually being wrecked -- but in a GREAT way!
- I'm learning HUGE things every day... sometimes every hour.
- I've met the most amazing people.
- It causes me to recognize the important things.
- It seems like I'm being transformed daily.
- I can't say enough great things about my boss.
- I'm passionate about what I doing.
- I'm very happy! Very, very happy! :)
but at the same time, I know that's okay.
A good night's rest is important!
I'm all the more excited to wake up the next morning, pop on those RUBY REDS and get with God for a new day!
Until tomorrow,
Gail
