So its been a while....

Hi guys! It has been a while since I've been able to get on here and post something but guess what? When you start a journey and pray about it God sure does take you straight on thru it! Walking with out shoes has been one of the hardest most eye opening experiences I've ever challenged myself to do! Oh I have had LOTS of things I have wanted to just get on here immediately and vent about but I knew that if I did that my raw emotions may be poured out when it might not have been what I was truly feeling. OR I knew it was wrong to feel that way and I wanted to stay true to my journey SO, I hope you understand my prolonged absence. BUT, I'mmmm baacckk! haha :) Since I have written last my life has taken some twists and turns and mostly for the good. New beginnings are ahead and I've had lots of firsts in my life this past year (including this blog) and many new ones to come.   I have lived and learned a lot of life's lessons including but not limited to; who your real friends are, why you should and/or should not do something important to you, handle your self in a raw and ugly position, be nice even when you don't want to, stand up for myself, be a better mom and wife, never give up, forgive, and finally let go.. Those were just to name a few lol :) Anyhow, all of those things came with a tough situation and tough decisions all in which I am happy with my choices. Every single choice changed myself, my family, my friends, and our everyday life. I had to ponder, pray, and be sure that I would not regret any choice I made which includes the judgements I felt I was doing on others and how others would judge me. I realized though in the midst of all of it that non of it mattered. What mattered was that I stayed true to my beliefs while respecting myself and all of those around me. As long as I got those two things in the bag all my decisions would turn out okay. God has our back and he is our ultimate judge. I have noticed that while the journey to live without shoes is hard and will stay hard it also seems easier. The decision to be this way is hard and takes a lot of mental work but life allllll around you seems to get easier after you make the choice to be considerate and not let hate live in your heart. It's funny how things can be two opposite things at once but they can be! I never thought it possible but then there is something else I learned! IT'S POSSIBLE!!! What's possible you ask? ANYTHING! Healing, Miracles, Love, a better world! It's all possible if you just believe and do your part! You can change the world around you with one small step at a time! Which leads me to share some good news on where my bare feet are taking me. In October I will be heading off to Nicaragua on a mission trip! I am wayyyyy excited! I can not wait to see what this trip has in store for not only me but those who are going with me and specially those who we will be helping when we get there. This trip is a big deal for me! For those of you who know me know I've only been as far as the car I was in could take me which is far south as Florida, as far north as New Jersey, as far west as GA/TN and as far east as well here good ol VA. I've never been on a plane and here my first flight will be to a third world country. How's that for gettin her done? Anyway, I think I have bore you enough with my writings but I hope to be keeping up with my journey a little better than I have been and I hope you will still walk without shoes with me one day at a time and PLEASE if you haven't before let me know your experiences. I would love to hear them!
