Feet, don't fail me now

"If we were meant to stay in one place, we would have roots, not feet."

"Your feet will take you where your heart is." - Irish proverb

This morning I woke up in Kansas City, to the first snow in Kansas City. And I ate pancakes and drank coffee and listened to beautiful stories told by one of my favorite people. And I cannot tell you how content this has made me today.
I'm glad to be here. It seems whenever I want to be adventorous and somewhat spontaneous, a million things get in my way.yesterday morning I got in my car to drive and it wouldn't start and I almost gave up. But I made it here, even with all of my obstacles.
But because of obstacles, I feel discouraged from leaving my little town and my little job. This thing called fear stops me. This thing called anxiety stops me. I feel destined to stay in the same place my whole life.
But I know this can't be true! I'm twenty years old and have my entire life open and in front of me. I can literally do almost anything. Sometimes I fell overwhelmed with possibilities. But most of the time I feel overwhelmed with feelings of security and wanting to stay stationary, because nothing seems to go right.
Today Sarah Nicole told me her love for hands and why she loved them. We talked about just wanting to go, but how life gets in the way. And strangely enough, it made me think of feet.
Anyone who follows my Instagram knows how many pictures I take of my feet. It makes me think of all the places our feet can take us. We can choose to walk the same steps everyday. Or explore new walks of life. My logical side is telling me to stay, but I hear the voice of God telling my feet to go. To explore new paths for my feet to walk. To love different kinds of people. To use my life to its fullest potential. I will never regret adventures, even small one of getting lost looking for CHRISTMAS lights.
This world is big and there's a big need for love. God asks us to be open to go where He may lead us. He asks us to be pleasers of God rather than pleasers of men. To serve God and not money. But we as silly humans feel the need to make plans. I don't know where I'll be in five years and this is exciting I me! My life has so much potential. I want to be able to follow the call of God no matter where He leads my feet.

"Show me the way I should walk." Psalm143:8
