happy feet

*Romans 10:14-15 How, then, can they call on the one they have not believed in? And how can they believe in the one of whom they have not heard? And how can they hear without someone preaching to them? And how can they preach unless they are sent? As it is written, "How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news!"
*Isaiah 52:7 How beautiful on the mountains are the feet of those who bring good news, who proclaim peace, who bring good tidings, who proclaim salvation, who say to Zion, "Your God reigns!"

It has been my mom's dream to go on a trip with Happy Feet International. I looked up their website because my church back home does a lot of work with them. How amazing is it that they go to countries all over the world and give shoes to children. Free all because of the love of Christ. Not only do they get a little pair of socks and shoes, the volunteers wash their feet. Service that is a beautiful act. The kids get clean beautiful little feet that get new socks and shoes too. As they sit there, their entire families get the opportunity not just to hear but also experience just what Christ is all about. Love. I talked to my mom today and I think God has really laid on my family's heart to take a trip with HFI. We might let it be our "christmas gift" to each other next year. A family "vacation" to do what Christ called us to do. GO. amazing. I bought my first pair of toms shoes today so some little child will be getting a pair too. I looked into going on one of their trips. They do US shoe drops and I would totally love to go on one of those. This whole thing just warms my heart. I am going to start praying for God to show me what opportunities he wants me to take part in. He will provide and he is in control. I just have to seek his will. If I don't, I can make all of these plans but it will probably blow up in my face. I do not know what God has in store for me but I am pretty sure it includes beautiful feet. for me and others.
