The name fits I think. It took me a little while to find a name that would suit my newsletter and blog. I finally got "Traveling Feet" and fell in love with it.
Not only does the name give me an opportunity to share my travels, experiences and where my feet have taken me, but to talk about the footsteps that I follow.
The one who lived out what He taught, instead of just preaching. It meant not always having shoes or even a place to wash His feet, but it also meant being with the people. Living. Eating. Singing. Crying. Working. With them. Alongside them. As one of them.
Not standing on a podium. Not telling them what to do, how to live, but showing them.

If you would like to contact me please feel free to send me an email and I will respond as soon as possible!

Ecclesiastes-

Sometimes I look back on the things I've been able to do and places I've been blessed enough to visit. It's during those times that I really see God's face. During my day to day life, I feel like I tend to forget how much I've been given. I take a lot for granted. I start to fall back into my old habits. Then something as simple as a smile from a stranger, an song, a note that was forgotten in an old purse, an email from an unexpected friend, will bring me back to the times that are engraved on my heart.
It's sad that great trips, and wonderful relationships come to an end, but everything has it's time. In the book of Ecclesiastes, Solomon talks about how everything has it's season.
"A time to tear down and a time to build up. A time to cry and a time to laugh. A time to grieve and a time to dance." (Eccl. 3:3-4)
So maybe after every amazing journey there comes a tear filled goodbye. But all that that means is that there will be another chance to build up again. More to explore. More to adventure. More to experience.
I feel like there will be a great time for me to dance in the near future.
