The Broken Sandal

 I watched one day as one of my girls was struggling. She had broken her sandal and was having a hard time playing as she was fighting to keep it on her foot.

As I inspected the sandal I saw that the anchor (the piece that holds the toe in) had broken off. Flip flops can do this.

As I watched her with her struggle it reminded me of what happens when I let go of my anchor. Oh how many days I have walked around in my own strength trying to do it my way, my resistance at its fullest.  Then frustration sets in. The whys? Fumbling around and not getting too far.

Have I taken my eye off the anchor, letting it go?  Some days just seem to be chaotic. It’s on those days that I am reminded, that I haven’t taken the time to anchor my day in. That time I so need with HIM in prayer and devotion.  Anchoring in HIM! Sometimes I can be a slow learner. It is taking time and I am working daily on this. But I realize when I anchor my days in HIM the fighting and fumbling around seem to be just a little bit smoother.
