Recently I had an article published in our youth magazine called the 'Contender'. It was based on one of my earlier blog posts titled New Shoes (I embelished it a little and added in some quotes and Bible texts but the idea was still there).
Last night I reccived a phone call from an older member of our church asking me if I was the person who had requested someone to go shoe shopping with them. Basically he just wanted to say how much he appreciated and enjoyed the article. He then told me to
He was not a member of our congregation but of one in the area, and to be honest I still do not know who he is exactly. But he still took the time and effort to look up my name and phone number in the Church phone book and to contact me in order to pass on some words of encourgaement. Isn't it wonderful when someone much older and wiser than you, also someone who you don't actually know, goes through the effort to come and provide you with wonderful, inspiring words, encouraging you to keep motivating other 'youth' to come 'Shoe shopping' (that was a quote).
It was very inspiring and I definately want to get EVERYONE I know to come shoeshopping!
