A Good Sign for 2008

Just in from Payless. I have no idea where I will walk with God in 2008, but my feet are liable to look good.

    Since ol’ Arthur Itis came to visit me on a more permanent basis, I cannot buy shoes except for comfort (which usually means fairly ugly). BUT a good day can be had looking for purses. I am the ol’ bag lady for sure!!! I love purses and shoes but purses will have to do these days.

    You crack me up!

    I may just have to go get me a pair and we can be twins. In fact, we should ALL get a pair to wear to the Siesta Fiesta. Anyone else up for it?

    Thank you Beth for keeping it real. I love it that you have stayed humble and approachable. God knew what he was doing when he tugged at your heart to share his word. You’re just so darned cute and I’m sure we would be great friends if distance and schedules would allow.

    By the way, my sweet husband and I also celebrated 29 years of marriage in December and you and I are the same age (with the same maiden name no less). Also with a big yearly event where our wedding wrecked havoc with a lot of people’s entertainment.

    I have been a Christian my whole life but my walk with God has become so much closer by also walking with you through His word.

    Thanks for following God’s plan for your life, your enthusiasm with the word of God is contagious…and isn’t that what it’s all about? For us to be enthusiastic to go forth and share?

    Enjoy the shoes, I’ll be checking them out on my end of the country as soon as I can.

    Those are some *cute* shoes, Miss Beth, indeed! I don’t shop at Payless very often because here in Canada we have a joke that “Payless” should be called “Pay-the-same”. Canadian Payless pricess are not nearly a good as they are in the states. FOr instance, I got a cute pair of flats for 15 dollars in the states last year and when I came back to Canada I thought I’d go get the matching brown ones, and they wanted 39 dollars at the Canada Payless for the same dang shoes. 39!! Ridiculous.

    Also, and I really don’t want to be a condemnational downer here, but I have to say that I more and more have a problem buying shoes as my husband and I try to think about what we purchase and how what we are purchasing affects others. Most of the shoes you can buy in North America, at Payless or otherwise, are made in China, or some other country where there are little or no worker’s or human rights. Try buying much of anything these days that is made in Canada or the US, or even Europe where there are labor standards, and good luck indeed! We resolve this by trying to buy mostly second hand stuff, which also saves our wallet, but that can be rather time-consuming.

    Haha, I know this was a post about cute shoes and leave it to me to get all serious, but it is something we should be thinking about as Christians, I believe.

    Very cute shoes…I was at Payless this morning looking for something sporty because our dog Miley chewed up my favorites yesterday. I’m trying to imagine all of the Siestas strutting around in those at the convention as Joanne suggested!!!

    That’s hilarious, but those are cute! I may have to get me some of those, because Payless is usually in my price range. Thank you, Lord for cute shoes at a great price!

    Hi Beth,

    Just love your sense of humor! How cute those shoes are. With or without shoes, your walk with God will for sure be fun and adventurous, because that’s just how you are. Bless you!

    Cute, Miss Beth ! However, I could never deal with those high heels… I’d probably fall and break my ankle or something… But, I am glad that you can wear them, as they are adorable.

    Beth,
    I am going through an unbelievably painful time in my life right now. I want so much for the Lord to lift it “right now”! In fact I have been waiting several years. Through it all I have found prideful flaws I didn’t know I had. I have such a long way to go even though I have been a Christian many years now. I know that He is faithful and will see me through to the end if I stay with Him.
    All this to say that I so VERY much appreciate your work and this blog. I feel like I am with special friends when I read it and when I went to it today and found shoes it blew me away! How wonderful it is to be able to share even things like this. Wow! I am so grateful for your ministry. May God richly continue to use you in this new 2008.

    You are so funny, I hate to admit this to all ya’ll siestas but I HATE SHOES! High heels have no place in my house, I never could walk in them. I get my shoes from my daughter and my sister after they are tired of them.I can apreciate a nice pair and a good deal though and those are really cute. Beth, did you learn to work that camera? you go girl, I’m still workin on mine. May all ya’ll siestas have a very Blessed New Year.

    Oh Beth! I love the shoes and I love that you share with us. Now that’s siesta’s!

    I was just talking to my boss about shoes today and how important that women have shoes in different styles and shades of the same color. He didn’t really understand but pretended he did. He wears the same ones every day….how horrible for him!!!

    Keep working on that camera and I’m sure you’ll have it downpat and we’ll see lots more of your finds!

    I took my teenage daughter and five friends shopping today. As we showed each other our jewelry, purses, etc., I told them, “Your husband will never understand…”

    your a SOUL/SOLE Queen…God love you, as you “shoes/choose” to follow Christ…get “pumped up” about the new year, but don’t “slide” into despair..

    It is good to see that payless is finally putting out some good stuff again. They had been a great place to expand a shoe collection cheaply–then they got a little off as far as style.
    Glad they are back!\o/
    Thanks for the heads up. ๐Ÿ™‚

    Ok. Is this about the shoes, or a sneaky way of posting pictures from your camera without us realizing that you have broken free from the digital bondage you have been suffering?

    Regardless, love the shoes, but they make me sad…. there’s 12+ inches of snow of the ground here and a peep toe is a no-no. ๐Ÿ™

    Beth,I have only posted on one other blog before besides my own that I post on maybe every 90 days or so but I really enjoyed reading yours today. My four year old daughter loved the shoes and we love payless too. I enjoyed the New Year post so much I started a journal on my computer because I don’t have much luck keeping up with stuff. I just want you to know how God has used your Bible studies in my life. My first one was Beleiving God on video at my friends church. There was such a profound change in my life at the time and I realized you were in Houston. Since then I have attended Wising Up & Esther. Online I have completed Yet will I trust Him & Nehemiah. I was raised in church and my father was a Baptist preacher but never before have I learned God’s Word so thoroughly. The Bible has become more to me the past 2 years than ever before. I remember in the video Believing God when you had all the ladies with letters on their backs go on stage and I had all but 2 of the reproaches that I had carried for 36 years. I went home that night a new woman in Christ. I finally Believed HIM! There have been moments like that in every study God has His hand on your ministry and I am reminded each day to pray for you and your family. I plan on bringing 2 other ladies next week to Breaking Free. My realtor who is a new Christian and a new member in my church who is widowed with 3 children and suffers depression. I know you will pray for them. Love in Christ. Laura

    Ok, I was going to say what everybody else said, cute shoes, great pics, way to go Beth etc…..but then Amanda gave away your secret!!
    To those of you complaining about having big feet………just hush already! Try to find anything at Payless in a 6, not happening, at least nothing worth wearing!
    Oh well! When all the Siestas are wearing their matching shoes in San Antone, I guess I’ll just be wearing my flip-flops!
    Love Y’all!!!

    Beth,
    you are just soooo precious ! I have to appreciate that you shop at Payless ๐Ÿ™‚ Isn’t it amazing how the little things in life can cheer us up,make us feel special or just make us feel good about ourselves?
    I have to say that as soon as I saw your shoes,I had to have a pair myself.Luckily,there’s a Payless about 2 miles from my house.So,off I went :)Now,when I put those on I’ll think of you.I’ll picture you saying “Beloved,are you walking with Jesus?” Love ya momma beth and I pray God’s blessings on you for this year !!!!!
