Agape Classics.
Agape is a love that allows you to be unconcerned, gracious, and willfully delighted even when you have nothing. When everything seems to be stripped away, where do you turn? I know in the past I have turned to trusting my flesh. Thinking I can live my life under my own authority. But alone in my flesh I have fallen to the persuasion and temptations of the world and enemy. When we try to take control of a painful situation, our attempts to manipulate and force change are just going to cause more problems.
Let’s be honest, we all have found ourselves in a valley. When you’re stumbling through a valley, it’s difficult to believe that the mountain will move. You want to believe, but you’re having a hard time reconciling a hope-filled message. I have seen the very depths of that valley and the pain it can bring. So how do you remain pleasant in that valley? A question I finally found the answer to.
These shoes represent being under new authority. Laying it all down and walking on the path that was beautifully laid out for me, even when it didn’t make sense. When I thought I was being knocked off course, He could see things up the road I couldn’t see. And I look back now and I wouldn’t change a thing. It can be hard to recall what got me through times of uncertainty. Little did I know I was being carried through the sand. That’s why you only see one set of footprints. We were not designed to do this walk alone. The secret is, when you are physically alone, you have a father that has His arms wrapped around you. Whether you believe it or not it’s okay. New life was placed in each and everyone of us two thousand and twenty one years ago.
Subtle but necessary changes were made to the original silhouette of a classic sneaker. Just like in life. More times than not, the small changes we make end up carrying the weight we didn’t think we could bear.
I’m sharing this in hopes of encouraging someone that might be in a storm. It’s really not about the shoes for me, I am just using them as a vessel to help and inspire others. I’m here to help and will continue to use my story to restore ultimate abundance.
