Where, oh where has that little shoe gone...

Last summer, Stephen lost one of his shoes. We looked everwhere, for several weeks. Good thing it was summer as he had to wear flip-flops every day. Finally at the end of myself, I sat down and asked God to show me where the shoe was. I asked for forgivess for not coming to him sooner and trying to find it in my own strength. Then I waited and listened.

With my eyes closed, all I saw was black. Then I realized He was trying to tell me the shoe was some place dark - "Oh, it's in a dark place? And it's under something? I can't quite see it yet, please make it more clear. Is that my chair? Is it under my chair?"

And I got up and looked under the recliner in my bedroom, and there it was! I don't know how we missed that in all those weeks of looking, but I do know that if I had asked Him first, and waited for His direction, it would have saved a lot of time and frustration.
