With a new year comes new opportunities, dreams, and goals. I have felt for some time a push from the Holy Spirit to begin writing and capturing all that is in my heart for the church. There are so many Sundays where I know I have left much on the “table” that didn’t make it into the sermon. So much more that I want the church to understand, wrestle with, and implement into their lives.
So I have gotten my blog ready, dialed in some details, and honestly the difficulty has been starting. What is the first blog you write? Shouldn’t it be clear as to what this blog will be about? Shouldn’t it capture the heart of what you are trying to accomplish? Yes to both! But as you think about life, rarely is it perfect in its execution. We rarely see what our decisions will become years from now. We have to make our best plans, put our best effort forward, and step out in faith in what God has asked us to do. Sometimes starting IS the important thing. A decision that gets the ball rolling! I am thinking in my mind right now of all the times I wanted to do something and felt that God was leading me to it, but I never did it because I never started. So I am starting!
I hope that you will find value in these pages for your life! I hope that you will join me in seeing who God has created you to be! I hope you will be encouraged and inspired to do what God has created you to do!
As we begin 2017, what area of your life are you finding difficult to start? What decision have you put off that you just need to pull the trigger on? What is God pushing you to do that you may not execute with perfection, but starting will get the ball moving in the right direction down the field?
You just have to start!
