This week my oldest daughter will be moving up north to take a job. She will be bringing Pauly with her. Goodbye dear furry friend! No doubt, I will miss him greatly. I have a feeling you will miss him too. He has truly been the mascot of this Red Shoe Project. I need to make sure I get a couple pictures taken before he leaves for the upcoming book cover.
I asked the Lord today what I was going to do without Pauly and He said...
"It will just be me and you for a little while, Gail.
It's time to go deeper into the prayer closet.
Everything you are looking for is in there.
It's way in the back --
You're going to have to search for it.
It's not a one-day task!"
Everything I'm looking for?
"Yes... answers, wisdom, direction,
understanding, gifts, insights --they're all in there.
And bring your Bible, your going to need it!"
Years ago, I would not have been comfortable with idea of going deeper in prayer. I would have considered it a little Woo-Woo, Strange and Unusual. Oh... it is all of those things, LOL, but God has been preparing me for this all year. I am ready.
It's time for me to go in,
shut the door and search out
the things God has said are waiting for me.
When it's over, I will be walking into the new year, a changed woman!
In RED shoes,
Gail
