Shoe - Continuation

At another time and place, I saw a shoe that I really admired. I wouldn't say that this shoe fitted my demands 100%, but it was very very close. I really really liked the characteristics of the shoe. There was only one problem, I couldn't try or buy the shoe. It was at the wrong time and place.

I wouldn't say I was deeply sad that I couldn't purchase it. It was more of a small disappointment, knowing that I admired the shoe, but had to let it go.
Perhaps it was good enough that I found a shoe to my demands, and knew that there were something out there like that. The bad part is that knowing that this shoe was out there, it made other shoes look uncomparable.

So there goes my shoe story. Sometimes even when you found it, you can't buy it. Just hope that you will see something like that again.

The Shoe

I wanted to find a Shoe. This shoe was very important to me and I hunted for it in many different malls. The problem was this: I knew what I wanted, but couldn't find what I wanted. I knew the characteristics that I wanted: Size Four, Black Colour, 2 inches heel, Mary Jane strap, Covered front. My demands were not impossible, it certainly was not! However, I really couldn't find it!

So I decided there were only two solutions:
1. Forget about the shoe
2. Compromise some of those characteristics

Guess what did I do?

Still

Hide me now
under Your wings.
Cover me
within Your mighty hand.

Chorus
When the oceans rise and thunders roar,
I will soar with You, above the storm.
Father, You are King over the flood.
I will be still and know You are God.

Find rest my soul
in Christ alone.
Know His power
in quietness and trust.
