Now that I have this place to journal I wanted to share some past stories. This one is from August 14, 2010.
Kenton often wants to put on Ray's shoes and try to walk around in them. Obviously, they are way too big for his tiny feet, and he can barely lift his foot without help from Daddy to keep his balance. However, he doesn't give up, and he keeps trying over and over with loving gentle help from his Father's hand.
This painted such a vivid picture for me. When we step out faithfully putting on the "shoes" of our Heavenly Father, he is there reaching out his hand to support and help us to take the "big steps" we are facing.
When we try to walk in our own strength, (even though these are the shoes God asked us to wear and the steps he asked us to take) we will fall down. However, when we reach out and take his hand, he will help us take each and every difficult step. As we mature in following him, we get stronger and the steps get easier. And then the shoes get bigger again. :)
