Next morning, Sunday, I woke early with the memory of what had happened the previous night burning within me. I got out of bed with such a sense of excitement, this was to be the first day of my new life. I was the first to go downstairs that morning, full of expectation that a major event was about to happen – maybe the preacher wouldn’t turn up and they would call on me – but whatever happened, it would be part of my ex- citing new life wholly surrendered to Jesus and fulfilling all my new dreams. But as I stood downstairs and looked at the kitchen, all I could see was a row of dirty shoes. All my senses were in rebellion, as I knew that the Lord Himself was telling me to clean those shoes – how can THIS be my dream of serving God with all my heart and mind? But I learned the hardest lesson of my life – absolute obedience – DO whatever He says and don’t ask questions.
