Living The Dream

I remember being a little boy and trying to walk in my dad’s shoes.  I thought I was so big, so grown up, but it wouldn’t be long before I’d fumble right out of his shoes and often times flat on my face.

I’m so excited about my life.  I know I’m truly doing what I’ve been purposed to do in life – plant a life giving church.

But I have to admit most days I feel like a little boy in my dad’s big shoes.

Some days I find myself picking up the phone to call somebody, anybody who’s been here before, who’s walked in these shoes, but “How Do You Do This?”  seems like such awkward question.

I tell myself, “They’re too busy,”  “They’re too important,”  “They don’t even know who I am.”

It can get scarey, and sometimes I think, “what if I fall flat on my face?”

But recently I came across one of my favorite Psalms -

“Hear my cry, oh God, listen to my prayer; from the end of the earth I call to you when my heart is faint.  Lead me to the Rock that is higher than I.” – 61/1

Do you ever feel like your shoes are too big?    Lets encourage one another

WOW!! When we are at our lowest state, Almighty God lifts us. Shannon, you are in the palm of your Father’s right hand. That’s the hand of promise and blessing. As for the shoes…”blessed are the feet of those that carry the good news”! We miss you but anticipate what God is going to do through your humbled walk! Know that you are loved!
