It's Day 241 of The Red Shoe Project and once again I can be found walking about town in my RED footwear. You are never going to believe this, but it's absolutely true. Just the other day, I was driving home from church and this HUGE thing was in the middle of the road. It had to be 18" in diameter.
It was a Turtle!
I don't think I've ever seen a turtle crossing the road -- not ever -- not here in Florida, not up north, not anywhere! And there I was just north of Bee Ridge on Honore Avenue, slowing down to a near crawl, just to check him out. He was moving sooooo S - L - O - W - L - Y.
Come on! Really? Didn't that prophetess just tell me that I was like a turtle going down the road ever so slowly? (See Day 217). She also told me that the point of it all was so that I wouldn't miss the important things God wanted me to see.
What are you trying
to tell me, Lord?
I can't believe it's Day 241 and I'm just now starting to "get it!"
I'm still wired for my old way of living: Moving and shaking -- Driving in the fast lane -- Meeting the deadline -- and Performing to the Nth degree. Even though my pace, in these RED shoes of mine, has been significantly reduced to almost a crawl... I've discovered that...
I'm not always living
fully in the moment.
That business mind of mine is always thinking about the future --How I can I produce something -- How I can I create something that I can package and present to people. I guess I'm just wired that way!
But God is re-wiring me! I think today He just pulled out all the wires and decided to start over. LOL. The big question is this... What will I be like tomorrow? Will I wake up and set out for my morning walk with Pauly equipped with a new mindset?
I believe it's time to have a little fun on this Yellow Brick Road: to smile more -- to stop and smell the roses -- to laugh, to dance, to twirl, to sing, to enjoy!
So you know that God always gives me a song!
Here's my new theme song as I go into this last portion of the year,
in Red Shoes!
Simon and Garfunkle's
"Feelin' Groovy"
Prepping my Ruby Reds for tomorrow.
