The Mental Image

I chose Walking in Heels as a name for this blog because it’s been my mental image for my current season in life. This picture of a little girl walking out the door in shoes that are way too big for her may best describe how I feel.

I tell people that my soul is usually somewhere between the ages of five and twelve years old. For the most part, I feel like the world’s problems are over my head in their complexity. And yet, I feel God drawing me towards maturity, telling me in his gracious and gentle way that it’s time to grow up. To some degree, I believe the picture of this toddler will always be my mental image of myself. I will always be a child in God’s presence and expect he will continually challenge me with situations I believe are over my head. Dick Foth once said that we are children with God so that we can be adults around other people. I guess this blog is me trying to sort out how to do just that.
