brand new shoes

i love shoes.  and i like wearing different styles.  many of my shoes are comfortable and durable, but others have given me blisters (ouch!) and some did not last long.

as i tidied up my shoes and other stuff during the Christmas holidays, i couldn’t help but look back on the many journeys i have travelled with my good old shoes.  

the worn-out ones speak of stories of my long walks through trial-ridden roads.  the ones that are still looking mint tell tales of treks on easy, smooth paths.

the new year holds uncertainties.  there will be unknown roads i will need to take and new tomorrows to face.  but i know that i just have to walk by faith and not by sight (2 corinthians 5:7).  i just have to believe and hope like abraham did (romans 4, hebrews 11).  because the Lord will see me through anything.  

and with God as my Travel Companion carrying me through my journeys, i know my shoes will always be as good as brand new! (yahooo! ü)
