They Call To Me...

Hi! My name is Lori and I have a shoe addiction! =) Oh how I love them. I walk into a shoe store and it as if they all stand at attention and begin singing the Hallelujah Chorus in the most perfect unison I have ever heard. I stroll up and down each aisle and they whisper "buy me" and when I really find a pair that I like I promise you they begin to glow with the most beautiful golden beam I have ever seen and it as if all the other shoes gasps and I hear "AAAhhhhhh!!"
.
I don't have a lot of shoes because (1) I can't afford them; and (2) I don't need them! But, oh how I do like them. High heels, flip flops, sandals, tennis shoes, mules, clogs, boots, black ones, white ones, red ones, ones with bows, and the list could go on and on and on. *Sigh* My heart is filled with excitement at this moment just thinking about them!!

To me, shoes express your attitude. When I wear flip flops I tend to be changeable that day. I can't make my mind up. I flip and I flop all day long. Never really knowing what the final answer is. By the end of the day I have not really accomplished much but I have walked around with a smile on my face. Thoughts of the beach and the sun and the sand filled my head all day and just feeling the sunshine hit my feet gives me a boost of energy. When I wear high heels I tend to be poised and confident. My make up is usually a little heavier than I normally wear. My clothes are neatly pressed and I have noticed that I tend to have better posture. By the end of the day my feet hurt and they are screaming "let me out of here!"
.
You know, attitudes are just everywhere. Some are good, some are bad. Some affect other people and some affect only you. But have you ever thought about what attitude would keep us away from sin? "Therefore, since Christ suffered in his body, arm yourselves also with the same attitude, because he who has suffered in his body is done with sin." 1 Peter 4:1. Honestly, I think that scripture says it all! There is nothing else that I can say! =) What shoes do you have on today?
