I think it’s funny that Keds were such a big deal back then…blue tabs and all. Can you even still buy them? I don’t think I’ve seen a pair in over a decade…

Have a great weekend! Hope it’s wonderful. :)

As soon as I read the post title, I just knew I would understand. I did.

I’ve done the same thing with Keds shoes. Seems so silly today.

My search to belong was with the world, the rebels, the bad seeds. All the pain in my heart I associated with church and Christians, which created a desire to never be like them. That search wrought even deeper pain. Some days I don’t know where I’m more comfortable…..in Christian cirlces…..or worldly ones.

I’m just so glad to “know” you!

How thankful we are to know He doesn’t look at the outward appearance, but looks at the heart (1 Samuel 16:7)!

Thank you for these words!
