How beautiful on the mountains are the feet of those who bring good news of peace and salvation, the news that the God of Israel reigns! – Isaiah 57:2

I remember praying for the nations… and that is what I got!  God has taken me and allowed my feet to walk, to run, to dance… to touch the world! 

Over the course of these 11 months my feet

have been swollen to 3 times their original size…

been covered in paint…

and mud…

and blisters…

and dirt.

These feet have been offensive and misunderstood… well, just the tattoos!

These feet have walked with widows,

carried orphans,
  

knelt in prayer,
and preached the Gospel.

  

My feet are not afraid to get wet.
.
They have swam in the Indian Ocean, the Nile River, and the Black sea.

These are feet that have experienced native customs

and really missed the traditions of home.

My feet have had to called many places home

and got to call a lot of people family.
These feet have had the privilege of standing on God’s glorious creation.
   

And, though there were so many times when I didn’t think my feet could take another step… when I couldn’t even stand… my gracious Abba was there to walk beside me the whole way – carrying me more often than not.

My feet have been covered with the dust of the nations!  Even when I make it home and they are soaked, scrubbed, rubbed, washed, and manicured these feet will always be permanently stained – embedded with some left over dirt… a reminder of where I’ve been… and a promise of where I’m going…

I want to thank YOU!  This year would not have been possible without your love, support, encouragement, prayer, emails, blog comments, money, and your passion to see the reality of Christ’s love to be known throughout the earth!

Thank you for sending me.  Thank you for giving me beautiful feet.

But how can they call on Him to save them unless they believe in Him?  And how can they believe in Him if they have never heard about Him?  And how can they hear about Him unless someone tells them?  And how will anyone go and tell them without being sent?  That is what the Scriptures mean when they say, “How beautiful are the feet of those who bring the Good News!â€� – Romans 10:14-15

ALL HONOR, ALL GLORY, ALL PRAISE TO YOU LORD!
