Some children collect toys. Others love books or stuffed animals. But Brooklyn? Brooklyn loved shoes. To her, shoes weren't just something to wear, they were her companions on life's many adventures. Each pair told a story. Some made her feel fast, others brave, her sparkly pair made her feel like a princess, and a few even made her feel like she could do something big for God. But lately, Brooklyn wasn't quite sure what her next steps were supposed to be.Her mom, Heather, had recently become licensed to care for foster children, mostly babies and toddlers. It was something she'd prayed about for a long time, and Brooklyn knew it was a good thing. It meant helping kids who didn't have a safe place to stay. It meant showing love to children who really needed it. But deep down, Brooklyn wasn't sure what it meant for her.Would her mom have time for just the two of them anymore? Would their home still feel like home? Would Brooklyn have to give up pillow talks, bedtime hugs, shopping trips or their special Saturday traditions?She didn't say much. But she wondered. And she worried. Then one Sunday morning, something happened that began to change everything.Sitting in church beside her mom, Brooklyn listened to the story of a young woman named Esther, a young girl who stepped up in a big way to help others, even though she didn't feel ready. As the pastor spoke, Brooklyn looked down at her favorite sneakers and began to wonder... could God use her, too?This is the story of how a pair of shoes, and a quiet heart full of questions, led one girl on a journey of courage, faith, and unexpected purpose. It's a story that reminds us that even when we feel unsure or unseen, God is guiding every step.And sometimes... the bravest thing we can do is open our hearts to love someone new.
