Let's Get Some Shoes

This week has been crazy! Yesterday I went shoe shopping and if you know me then you know that I hate wasting money. (I guess my mom has rubbed off on me) you know what I mean like I don't want to buy something unless I reeeeeeally like it and I know that I will use it. So we were at Famous Footwear and I found these realllllly cute Pumas and they fit ok but the problem was was that my mom was in a hurry and if you know me then you also know that I hate being rushed. So I made a quick decision to get the shoes. The man at the register rung up the shoes and let me wear them out. I was loving them.....almost. We got to the next store and my feet began to hurt I began to get nervous about taking the shoes home and then hating them and wasting my mom's money. (also they were white so I was also really nervous about getting them dirty) so I asked my mom if we could take them back to the store and return them. we didn't think that the man was going to take them back but I went up to the register and told him the truth and he gladly took them back.
I know this is going to sound really corny but I feel like we can relate what happened to me Yesterday with our lives. We often get busy and in a hurry and we don't stop to think and really consider our situation before we decide our actions. Then we choose something that will lead us to a lot of pain and discontent. But here's the cool part, God gladly takes us back when we come to Him and confess our mistakes. (or as Cody would say our faults, failures, and flaws =] )
Alright well I'm off to pack for my trip this weekend. Pray for Katie, Cody, and I. We will be leaving tomorrow morning for Michigan. I am really excited about the conference and I'm looking forward to learning more about the ministry. =)
