Day 225

It's Day 225 of  The Red Shoe Project and I've been sitting at my desk most of the day, in RED shoes,  getting caught up with business.  There are phone calls to make, emails to send, and action to take.  With all that needs to be done in the office, my heart has been in prayer for Charlie.  Charlie turned eighteen and left rehab.  Wont' you continue, with me, to lift up Charlie before God?  Let's believe together that God's Spirit will apprehend him.  After all, there is no better place to be than in God's care.

Today while looking at my emails, I happened to come across Sid Roth's
"It's Supernatural."   In this week's program, Sid interviews old time minister,  Orville Hayes.
The introduction sounded interesting, so I thought I'd watch to see what I could glean from it.

Oh my gosh...  this 83 year old man had lots of interesting things to say, and many stories to tell, but what caught me by surprise was what happened when Sid asked him to give the audience an example of how he worships God each day.  This man closed his eyes and began to weep and cry out to God.

 It was like nothing I'd ever seen.
He sounded so frail and helpless...
so insignificant.  It almost sounded like a little kid crying.  At first I had to take a second look.  It struck me as unusual that anyone would present themselves like that, let alone on television for the world to see.  It was a little unbecoming.


Jesus called a little child to come to him and stood the child before the followers.  Then Jesus said, "I tell you the truth.  You must change and become like little children (in your hearts).  

If you don't do this, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven.  The greatest (most important) person in the kingdom of heaven is the person that makes himself humble like this child." 

Matthew 18: 2-4 (ERV)

I sat back in my chair and started to laugh -- partly because I couldn't believe this guy was doing this and partly because I began to realize that it's times like this when God powerfully moves!  Before I knew it, tears were rolling down my face.  The Spirit of God had come upon me and I found myself weeping along with the man on the screen.  Really?  Yes -- Really!

All day I had difficulty getting into the presence of God.  It was as if my head was stuck in a cloud.  My brain was foggy.  But now... Minister Hayes had unexpectedly ushered me in.

ACCESS POINT!   

You know how I feel about access points.  When God pulls me in, I stop what I'm doing and go.  That said, I have decided to unplug for the evening and continue my to worship to God

Until tomorrow,
