On a recent walk, I was
talking to my husband about something I’ve been wrestling with for quite some
time. In a brief and rare moment where I wasn’t rambling, he was able to slip
in some advice. It was good, really good, and not just because he was able to
spot a pause in my ramble. His advice gave me the direction I was looking for.
Ever have something weighing
on you that you feel you should be doing but haven’t yet begun to act on it? I’m
not talking about the pile of laundry near the washing machine or the dust on
the TV stand that’s screaming for attention. This is something you can’t
seem to shake. It's an awkward place between blatant procrastination and a longing to jump in head first and going for it. I have. It’s been going on for almost a decade. With much prayer and encouragement
from loved ones, I’ve decided to take a leap of faith, and do it. I’m casting
fear of failure aside and taking a big step. That sentence alone makes me take
a big breath to slow my heart rate down.
I’m going to go skydiving. Okay,
that’s not it, albeit on my bucket list. Drum roll, please…..I’m going to write
a book.
I’m not sure how long it will
take or what exactly it will look like. However, I've got a vision and am excited to see where the
Lord will take it. If you think of it, would you pray for me in this journey?
I’m walking by faith on this one, friends. I encourage you to do the same. What
have you been putting off? Try taking a step of faith with me, and let’s see where
we go with it. Hang on tight. It could be a wild ride!
Proverbs 16:3 “Commit to the Lord whatever you do, and your plans will
succeed.”
