Day 120

Day 120 of The Red Shoe Project has been a full day.  I spent most of the morning and afternoon lending a helping hand at an event promoting Women and Philanthropy.  While wearing my posh black suit and bright RED patent leather pumps,   I mixed and mingled with the businesswomen of Sarasota.  Several friends that I haven't seen for a while were in attendance.  To be honest the afternoon was somewhat bittersweet.  It was nice seeing my old friends and familiar faces but, at the same time, I felt somewhat reserved.

The joy that I get from connecting people to Christ through my writing,  speaking, Bible study teaching and small group facilitating is exhilarating. Being able to spend so much focused attention on God on a daily basis is awesome!

Greeting people at the door and helping them find their seats just didn't cut it for me today.  I was distracted.  My heart was yearning to be with God, doing what I love most!

Talk about separation anxiety!  LOL.

So it's good that I love what I do...  and I certainly don't want  to throw the baby out with the bath water, here.   I'm missing my own events.  I'm yearning to get behind the podium and pour myself out for a cause that's greater than myself. 

I can feel God working on my heart.  

He's making me hungry 

for what I've been created to do.   

You see,  I don't just want to get up and talk to people about anything and everything.  I must find that space that's smack in the middle of God's perfect will for me.  I'm waiting for Him to drop His Living Word within my soul.  I yearn for that God appointed time, where I just pour out every ounce of passion within me... so that there's nothing left... where I empty it all,  right out there in front of you, on the table...  and God moves in and blesses it.  On that day, all craziness will break loose. The Holy Ghost will dance amongst the people, touching them in ways that will totally wreck them.  They will find themselves going so far beyond any place they've ever imagined... for the Glory of God!

Yeah... they say I'm a dreamer.  But God has given me a jar of wishes, hopes and dreams and...  

"I Believe!"

"Everything is possible to the one who believes"
Mark 9:23

At 6 p.m., after popping on my comfortable RED shoes, I headed off to church with the co-facilitator of our New Believers class.  

As I looked around the circle, my heart lit up with joy.  Three weeks ago, many of these people asked Christ into their lives for the very first time. Here they were tonight, ready and eager to learn about the Word of God and walk forward in their faith.  What a sight for sore eyes!  They blessed my soul!

It is a good thing to be about the Father's business.

I love working for Him!
