Day 271

Today is Day 271 of  The Red Shoe Project.  The sun has set, I have kicked off my Ruby Reds, and I am almost ready for bed.  It has been a long quiet day of waiting on the Lord.  There's an old chorus based on Isaiah 40:31 that says...

"They that wait upon the Lord 
shall renew their strength.
They will rise up with wings like eagles;
they will run and not grow weary,
they will walk and not faint.
Teach me Lord,  teach me Lord...
to wait!"


Today has been a  QUIET day of waiting.  It's been a day of watching for God and listening for His voice.  I have been meditating on scripture.  I have been whispering thoughts and praises to Him.  Even my prayer walk, although it was packed with prayers, it was still quiet.  

The ball is in His court now.  
I am waiting for His response.

That's not to say that  I'm not expecting.  I am!  I am watching carefully and intently for Him.  I am earnestly anticipating His move... exactly how He'll do that? -- I do not know. Time will tell.

"Blessed is the man who listens to Me,
watching daily at My doors, 
waiting at My doorway.
For whoever finds Me,  finds life, 
and receives favor from the Lord."
Proverbs 8:34-35




Some things just can't be rushed.  There's a new story brewing.  I can feel it in the atmosphere.  I may be quiet on the outside, but there's a definite stirring in my spirit. 

"Find rest, Oh my soul, in God alone, 
my hope comes from Him."
Psalm 62:5



Til tomorrow,
