It is well with my "Sole"

When we wake up in the morning, we all put on some sort of shoe. And every shoe has a sole in which we walk each day. The more we walk, the more worn that sole becomes. In our lives we will travel many places, play many games and go through numerous interviews in those soles. We will all take different paths and our journeys will all be different, but we always will have some sort of sole that we depend on for our journey. We never look to see if our "sole" is there, we just trust that it will get us to where we are going. For we have all been told that we walk by faith, not by sight.

It has been said that you never really know a person until you have walked in his/her shoes. As we examine our lives and where we have been and where we want to go, it can be overwhelming to look back at our journeys and the different roads we have all gone down. Some have taken familiar paths and some of us have taken the narrow paths. Whether you have worn running shoes, work boots or high heels we all have had to experience different roads and paths to get to where we are in our life.

God has a purpose for each "sole" that we wear. It may be to hit a game winning shot or it may be to lose in the State finals. You may be meant to be the President of a big company, own a daycare or wait tables to make ends meet. He has a plan for you and wants to see you be successful and make a difference and live by His word. When you have to change your "sole" don't question His path paved for you. The roads we travel allow us to experience different joys and trials. No matter what path you go down, He is always there by your side.

No matter what "sole" you wear to work every day, never forget the roads you have traveled. Some of those roads may have been paved, some may have been rocky and some may not yet have been traveled down, but those roads have helped shape you into who you are. Some of us wear more than one "sole" and have different responsibilities. Whatever your "sole" may be make sure you enjoy the journey and are happy with where you are and who you are. Find happiness, for it is happiness that is the true state in which we know that God is in control and that we must trust Him. When you are happy and content, it is well with your "soul." And don't forget...sometimes you have to do some "sole searching."
