Who's shoes

Have you ever played Who's shoes? It's when you can tell who's coming down the hall by their gait, the clip-clop of their hooves, or the pitter patter of the soles of their shoes hitting pavement. Just like that characteristic tell-tale give-away that someone's coming down the hall, each of us has a pattern, a way we act and react that gives us away. Sometimes it endears us to our friends. Well God is like that. There are ways He characteristically acts in our lives and sometimes you can tell it's Him if you learn to play who's shoes.

So here what he does with me: I will blog, meditate, converse on a topic and maybe get an insight or idea. The following day, I will be exposed to a teaching, a conversation, re-read my blog or read Scripture that points DIRECTLY to an insight or experience of the previous day. That's when I know it's a God moment. It's a beautiful bouquet He places in my path and then he hides the card to be found later affirming it's from Him. He doesn't always do that, but when I'm particularly confused or I need to be affirmed or convicted that's what He does.

Incidentally, the evil one plays who's shoe's too but here's the kicker: If you learn how to play who's shoe's with him, you can head him off at the pass and learn to anticipate him and his movements and dash towards Mary's loving arms. I let her deal with Him. She doesn't seem to mind because it gives her an opportunity to hug me yet again. Can't get tired of hugs!
