Keep Calm and Carry On

Hiya! I have loads on my mind this morning, but will do my best to keep this post from becoming a novel. Plus, I cannot write about everything that's on my mind, a girl's got to have her secrets, right?

This weekend I was reminded that things can change in the blink of an eye, literally. I was in a car accident--I'll spare you all the details, but both cars were smashed right up. I was in the back seat, right behind the driver--we were hit on the driver's side. Once I realized what was going on and that everyone in the car was okay I opened my door to examine the damage. You know what? There wasn't a single scratch, dent or ding on my door. Not one! It really struck me, I just couldn't get over it! Not only had the Lord kept me safe, but he didn't even allow my armor, (in this case my door), to be touched! And in that moment the Lord reminded me that He's got huge plans in store for me, that He's got my life and my days. Teach me to number my days, oh Lord, that I may present to You a heart of wisdom (Ps. 90:12). The Lord really used this accident as a way for me to draw closer to Him, to press into His goodness. And just like those moments with Him under beautiful stary nights His whisper was loud and clear, I LOVE YOU.

My favorite shoes are my red Toms. I'd seriously wear them everyday if they matched everything and were considered "professional." They're comfortable and fit my style to a tee, (define that as you will). Anyway, I remember looking at my shoes right before the accident; once we stopped the top of my head was pressed into the driver's seat and when I opened my eyes they were the first things I saw. "How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news!" (Rom. 10:15). I'm not talking about my shoes here, I'm talking about my two little feet. Where are they willing to go? To the ends of the earth? And, are they happily skipping, running, jumping to take the good news to the people around them everyday?

Where are your beautiful feet taking you?
