Louboutins Vs. A Fresh Pair of Nikes

                 

Have you ever heard the phrase, “I’m on a walk with Christ”? Most likely you have and if not, well today is your lucky day because now you have! Jesus calls us to walk with him on a great journey of faith and love. However, have you ever wondered what kind of shoes are on your feet as you are walking this journey? The answer to that question is most  likely a big fat negative. So, I started to do a little thinking this week. The first thing I needed to figure out in order to decide what pair of shoes I need to lace up in was where have I been walking, and where do I want to continue to walk. The first half of that question did not take me long to figure out, I have been walking down a spiritual path filled with road blocks left and right. Imagine your neighborhood street after a hurricane whipped through. There is debris everywhere and plenty of distractions (including that FINE hottie helping your neighbor get the tree lifted off her car!).

Anyway, here is my question: If I had on an AMAZE pair of Louboutin pumps while walking down this destructed path, would I have seen the light a little sooner, or would I still be in utter darkness. (For all you guys out there Louboutins are the Mercedes of shoes! A basic black pump runs at about $600, and do not start to fret because YES, mens shoes are available!) This question seems kind of funny to ask but take a deeper look at it with me:

Jesus is constantly pursuing each one of us. I would say that at the moment Jesus is pursuing me full throttle. The difference between now and last year is this time my heart is totally captivated! I’m now contemplating does that have anything to do with the shoes on my feet???
Stay with me on this one: Imagine you are at Disney World and you are wearing a pair of Jessica Simpson platform heels. You may be lookin supafly, but do you think you really would want to gallivant around the park all day in those weapons? Chances are, you are screaming out a big N-O in your head right now. These shoes are holding you back from experiencing the happiest place on Earth! Now, imagine that you exchanged those brutal heels for some fresh Nike Shox. Who wants to make a run to Animal Kingdom? HOLLLAAAA!!!

Did you make the connection? Disney would was the same when you were wearing the heels and the tennis shoes. It was YOU that felt different. It was YOU that went from just wanting to relax and put your feet up, to wanting to run around and soak up as much wholesome fun as you could!
Jesus was the same yesterday that He is today and will be tomorrow. He has been calling my name since before I was born. I just had the wrong shoes on. So, now its your turn to make the call,

Is the Secret to life a good pair of shoes?

Feedback is encouraged I would love to hear your thoughts!!!

Happy Friday!
