04-07-2007 4:23AM - An Airport, A Pair of Shoes, and a Lady who couldn't receive

mother theresa said once that we cannot do great things, only small things with great love. well, i saw the truth of this first hand today.  something happened to me today that will forever change the way i look at life, salvation, giving and receiving.

last night i played a show with shaun groves in tulsa, OK so this morning i got up early to fly home to spend easter with my family. while on my layover, i was sitting at my terminal gating waiting on the plane to arrive. it was southwest, so of course everyone was already lining up eventhough the plane wasn't there. i sat in my seat while wondering on the inside why people line up so early. anyway... i digress.

so while sitting at my gate, a woman walks up to the same area and sits right across the way from me. immediately i sensed that she was hurting. i dont know why, but i could just tell. all she had to carry on was a plastic sack with some personal belongings in it. she had on an old coat and it appeared that it'd been a while since she had a shower. for some reason, the Lord gave me an immense love for this woman. i continued looking at her, trying to make eye contact because i wanted to smile at her, but suddenly my eyes shifted to her feet.

they were beat up, hard, dirty, and exposed. though it was 30 something degrees outside and snowing sideways, this woman had no shoes. all that covered her feet were an old pair of pink house slippers that were completely worn out. her feet looked like they were hurting and cold. i looked down at my feet and saw my favorite pair of new balances. i love those shoes. my feet were so comfortable, but my heart went out to her.  again, my love for this woman who seemed out of place grew abundantly with each announcement the check in lady made and with each new person that lined up an hour before the plane arrived.

then something happened that makes me uncomfortable... God started tugging on my heart. i felt that Holy Spirit nudge that is very difficult to ignore.  you know the one. so there i was, sitting in my seat looking across the way at my new friend. or at least i hoped we would be friends. in that moment, i knew God was asking me to give her my shoes. i heard a story a couple of weeks ago about a woman working with a church that ministers to the homeless and this woman gave a homeless woman her
shoes. so God reminded me of that story, and i started trying to argue with God.

i lost that argument. fair and square.

see, i didn't want to give her my shoes, i'll be honest with you. these are my favorite pair of shoes that i own and i love them! but i knew that God was calling me to be willing. so finally He softened my heart and increased my compassion for this sweet woman, and i resolved to give her my shoes. so now i had to figure out how the heck i was going to go about doing that.

so i decided that instead of walking over to her and handing her my shoes with little to no explanation, i devised a plan that was fool proof. i was going to line up behind her in line to board the plane. then i would sit next to her, tell her hello and what i thought God was telling me to do, the shoes would be given, and that would be the end of it. well, from there, my plan didn't exactly go as, well, planned.

i did get behind her in line. but as we began boarding the plane, the flight attendent realized that her ticket was invalid. so she was forced to get out of line, go back to the ticketing agent, get a new ticket, and reboard the plane. well, i couldn't exactly stand outside and wait for her, so to my sadness, i went ahead and boarded the plane.

then i decided that maybe God would allow her to sit next to me. so i prayed for that, but that didn't happen. despite my best efforts at a huge friendly "sit next to me please" smile, she walked on past me toward the back of the plane.

plan B or was it plan C was officially a go.

so i decided that i would get off the plane when it landed, and wait for her. after a nice short flight, the plane landed. i walked out and waited for her. 30 people walked out. she wasn't there. then another ten people walked out. she wasn't there. at this point my heart is breaking because i'm thinking she stayed on the plane to go to houston.  so i decided i would go back on the plane and just hand them to her and
then leave. at this point, there was no doubt in my mind. i was giving this woman my shoes.

but as i was about to return from whence i came, so to speak, my friend came walking out of the plane! my heart start beating fast. i was so nervous! what would this woman think?  would she call me crazy? would she think it was a scam or joke of some kind?

i caught her eyes and went up to her and the dialogue went something like this:

LK: hi ma'am, can i ask you a random question?
lady: sure
LK: what size shoe do you wear?
lady: 9
(side note... i wear a size 9 and i knew that she was going to say that, i knew she was going to wear my exact size shoe!)
LK: omigosh! that's so awesome... well, i know this sounds crazy, but i feel like God wants me to give you my shoes.
lady: i dont want to be some cover story
LK: oh, trust me! this is no cover story... i'm no writer! i'm a christian singer and i just want to give you my shoes

(side note: at my mention of being a christian singer, she perked up, so i thought that was my green light, but then things just went south)

lady: well, i dont want your shoes, these are fine, i dont need your shoes

i proceeded to tell her about mother theresa and about how i'd been given so much through Christ especially this Easter season and i wanted to give to her from what God had given to me. she was skeptical and very stand-offish. the dialogue continues:

LK: do you believe in God?
lady: i dont know, not really sure
LK:
that's ok! regardless of what you believe about Him, i know He loves
you and He wants you to have some sweet new shoes! and i would love to
give you mine!
lady: no thank you. no.
LK: if you dont want my shoes, can i ask why?
lady: i just want income
LK: do you have a job?
lady: no
LK: do you live here in austin?
lady: kind of, i dont know, i guess

so at this point i realized that she was, indeed, homeless. i'm unsure as to how she got on the plane, but i did know that she had no one. she wasn't flying to visit family. she wasn't on a business trip. she was alone. with no one to greet her with flowers. she was alone with only the clothes on her back and some other garments in her plastic sack.  she was about to walk out into the freezing cold rain with worn out house slippers. she was sad and i didn't know what to do. i wanted to grab her and hug her and tell her that Jesus loved her and that everything would be ok. i wanted to take the love i feel in my heart for God and the love i've experienced from Him, and i wanted to stuff it into her heart. i was hoping that she would see the shoe offer as an act of love from God directly to her.

but she continued to refuse the shoes. no matter what i said, she said no. she ended up walking ahead and me and i could tell that she wanted me to leave her alone. so i did. to my complete and utter surprise and sadness, i let her walk off. shoeless and sad. five seconds didn't go by before i started weeping. i wasn't crying because she rejected my shoes and hurt my feelings. no, my tears were birthed from a much deeper place. i was crying because i so badly wanted that woman to know the love and hope of Christ. that He died for her, but 3 days later rose again to give us victory over death and to give us hope in this life. i was terribly broken and confused as to why she wouldn't accept a free gift with zero
strings attached. i didn't want to make this a charity case. i didn't want to do something for her so that i would feel better about myself or add another notch to my good works belt. no, i simply wanted to do
what i felt God wanted me to do. give her my shoes.

so as she walked off and my tears ran down my face, i got into the elevator. my thoughts ran wild: why would God make me go through all that just to fail? why did the woman not receive a free gift when she clearly needed shoes? why was i so heartbroken over this?

it wasn't until i got in the car when it all hit me like a linebacker.

the pain i was feeling became a doorway into a realization. in this moment, i realized a tiny percentage of what Christ must feel each time one of us rejects him in some ways. there are multiple times a day when He offers me a free gift, a blessing, a chance to obey and i reject Him. i go about my business and dont give Him a second thought. so many people reject Christ's free gift of grace and mercy. and maybe, just maybe, the Lord allowed me to go through this to give me a peice of firsthand experience of what it feels like to offer something with good intentions and love and with no strings attached but for that to be rejected.

i dont say this to make you feel bad. i simply say this for two reasons. i am writing this experience in this blog to remind you how important it is to follow God when you hear that still small voice. when you feel that gentle nudge. go for it! i'm preaching to myself here because i dont always follow Him. and then secondly, think about how many opportunities we have to accept the blessings that Christ wishes to pour out on us for His glory, not ours.

so, through all of this, i learned some huge lessons. i learned that eventhought the outcome might be different than what you thought, there is no failure when we are obedient to God's leading. and also,
everytime Jesus offers me something better than what i'm settling for, i need to take it. accept it with reckless abandon. and run with Him.  He is always offering us a better pair of shoes when He sees our
wornout house slippers. He knows we are about to go out into the cold, rainy world and He offers something better. will we take Him up on Hisoffer?

He is better. He is always be better than anything or anyone this world can offer. take Him up on His offer. He has yet to disappoint.

i still have the shoes. and she still has her shoes. i'm praying that somehow, eventhough she wasn't able to receive today, maybe a seed was planted and someone else will be able to love her and pour into her and she will, one day, accept love.
