Shoes II

I decided to replace the shoes I bought back in March 2006.  You might remember, I blogged about them, wondering if I would wear the new shoes to Mexico.

Well, of course, I did.  Thanks to the Lord’s answer to our prayers and yours.  Looking back, I think that if it were not for some strange "coincidences", we would not be here now.  But we don’t believe in coincidence – I think it more likely that God had a plan, and that He wanted to show us that it was His plan and not our own cleverness that brought us here!

Ironically enough, those were probably one of the worst pairs of shoes I ever owned.  They felt very uncomfortable in one foot, and I couldn’t return them or afford a new pair.  Today, the soles aren’t in too bad condition (compared to my last pair), but it’s the top part that’s falling apart.  So I saved up for a few months and got a new pair.  Here’s hoping these won’t be as bad as the last shoes!

And where will these new shoes take me?  Lord willing (and if they don’t fall apart first) into a new part of Mexico next year, where our service will continue.  Thanks for your prayers – God hears them!
