Yesterday was the 4th annual "Day Without Shoes" to raise awareness of shoe-lessness and the difference a pair of shoes can have on the life of a child. People from all over the country went shoe-less yesterday. Going barefoot for a day to realize how difficult it would be to navigate through life without a pair of shoes and to sensitize our hearts to the needs of children who do not have shoes.
Rachel felt God placing this need on her heart. After praying for direction, she approached her Student Council Sponsor who had been looking for an activity pertaining to shoes. Awesome! Yesterday, after careful planning, our high school had its first Day Without Shoes. Students and staff donated shoes and money to be allowed to go without shoes for a day at school. It was fun to see so many bare feet or students in socks. Rachel was over the top excited!
Not only did she go barefoot at school, but she even filled up her truck with gasoline in bare feet....ouch!
I love that she has a precious, contagious heart for missions and that she listened to the Lord's leading in this. The above picture is of Rachel's feet (on the left), her friend Meagan, and her friend Caleb taken from my Iphone (I don't take my bg camera to school).
That's so great that the high school got to participate in this worthy cause. I totally forgot about it. I was home sick. I was without shoes most of the day though!
