barefoot

We make our heads big with knowledge but our hearts stay asleep...

I love being barefoot. Though I do have a tiny obsession with shoes, there is nothing sweeter than hearing the creeks in a old floor or the feeling of sand beneath your toes... Today when Drew and I got home I must have left mine on. We sat down on the couch for our routine Sunday nap (another favorite of mine). He said "take your shoes off and stay a while"... Tonight I sat down indian style with my journal, hoping to catch a glimpse of my Father's heart beat and my husband's words echoed... "take your shoes off and stay a while"... my mind raced to images of Moses and "holy ground", how unworthy I am, how Holy He is. I start to sing a line from the Harlot's song and I am overwhelmed as He invites me upward, inward, outward... come up higher... take your shoes off child, why don't you stay a while?
