Day 109

Today was Day 109 of The Red Shoe Project. I popped on the cute, little, RED sandals that my friend Kami gave me and headed out the door to see what God had in store for me today.

Last night after writing the blog, I went to bed, put in my ear buds, and listened to worship music for about twenty minutes.  I found myself getting caught up in worship, singing along, praying in the Spirit and having some straight-forward, heart-felt conversation with God.  I wanted to make it a point to seal what I had laid out before Him in the writing of  The Red Shoe Project,  Day 108.  

To seal means..

  • to secure,   
  • to lock in place,  
  • make sure it's water tight, 
  • to complete it,  
  • to officially establish,  
  • to set it in stone!


I needed to have that discussion with God, face to face. 

I wanted Him to know that I wasn't just writing it 
for the world to read, but that I meant every word of it!  

It was a good conversation.   Of course, I realize that He already knew all that.  It was His idea in the first place.  He's the one that so graciously brought me through the journey, to work all that in me.  He's the one that turned my heart. He's the one who made it so that I couldn't fail.  Yup... He just has that way of making His desires, my desires!


Today was the day of my taking "the first steps" on this new "Kingdom Road." Anyone of us can say everything and
anything we want, but eventually the day comes that you have to begin walking it out, one step at a time.   If you don't
walk it,  it's just talk,  nothing more.
So today was a "walking day" for me. 

It's funny how the Holy Spirit can bring things from way back in time to your memory as if they just happened.
Today, He reminded me of a time,
(maybe six months ago?),  when I literally broke down and cried before God saying,


"But I don't know how do that, Lord!" 

and God said back to me, 

"Don't you know, that I know, 
that you don't know how to do that?"  

As I take my first steps on this new road, I find comfort in those words, knowing that God is saying that same thing to me once again. He knows what I don't know, and He'll walk me through it.  He's here to see that I succeed, not fail.  

He also reminded me of other promises He's made me.  Without a doubt, I knew that today I needed to  step out in faith, and believe Him for those promises to be fulfilled.  I met with two different prayer partners and entered into agreement with them, before the Lord, for that very thing.


Here we go!  Roller coaster ride.  This is where the fun starts. 


Yahoooooooo!!!!!  

Glory!!!!!

I sense a powerful testimony a coming!  My heart is beating faster.  My palms are a little sweaty. It's okay... this is where the Glory falls.  Believe with me, my friends.



I wonder if I'll need RED shoes that tie, so that they don't fall off?  LOL.

Love to all my "Rubies".
Thank you for your prayers.
