Lesson From The Heels

Did you ever really want to impress someone and you try so hard that you end up looking like a donkey? Well that is what happened to me this week. I had a meeting with two people scheduled for Wednesday lunch. I knew what I wanted to wear since the Sunday before. I had it all planned. I wore my cute skirt and these amazing shoes. Even though they hurt my feet I did not care I was going to look GOOD! I had cheer camp before the meeting and when one parent saw me they asked "Are you going to cheer in those?" Hint #1 I might had over did it. Then I really got my tail feathers wagging before the meeting to try to get the papers printed out so I looked like I had it "all together" when I went. Well I end up being late to my meeting by 30 minutes due to commitments elsewhere. Then hit every red light and in the midst of all of this my brain was screaming "You taught on the fruit of the spirits this morning, "PATIENCE!" Then at last I make it but I am so worked up I am even a bit out of breath nervous as can be and talking a million miles an hour. Oh How I wish God would have taking me up in a cloud at that moment like Elisha. But that was not to be because when one of the people from my meeting saw my heels he said "those are not the best shoes to be wearing with a hurt foot" (I hurt my foot a couple of weeks ago and stopped running this person knew I did that). At that moment I just wanted to run but then I said something so dumb I can not even remember I just wanted that moment to past. Then after all the hard work I hand them the papers and the poor person looked overwhelmed. Lets just say the meeting lasted forever and when I really wanted to make a good impression I just ended up having a miserable time. So, my beloved friends why did I have you read this to know that I have not changed yet even 1,100 miles away from home. My affirmation still must come from the Lord Praise Him! I am thankful for the moments when I just make myself look dumb because they affirm who I really am supposed to be. So please just be who you are the world is much more fun that way. So, I will still love my heels only maybe when it will be more sensible. Like when I Vacuum. :)
