Shoes

The other day I went to buy new shoes. For the past few months, the treads in my shoes have been almost nonexistent, and there’s been a crack in the bottom of one. Now since Calgary is one of the driest cities on the continent, this hasn’t been a big problem. But at the end of February we got some snow, and so I’ve been living with a wet foot. Things have been pretty tight financially since the fall, so I’ve been reluctant to spend the money, but I think the time had come! The shoe salesman laughed when he saw the bottom of my old shoes.

I’m not sure when I bought the bottom shoe, but it’s been with me all across the country, across the USA and in Mexico. Nathanael was born, we moved. At the same time. God really has been faithful over the last couple of years. We’ve seen our financial support continue to rise, people in Mexico coming to know the Lord, spiritual growth in our family and in others. At times when we didn’t know where our meals were going to come from, someone would show up with some groceries.

I found a shoe that was sturdy and that could breathe – perfect for walking around the streets of Mexico. Lord willing this shoe will see our move to a new city, a new country, and into more adventures with God. We’re walking forward, in His steps, to Mexico (figuratively speaking, of course)!
