I woke up Sunday morning thinking about a certain situation..... then our pastor preached about "taking the first step" in a situation or problem or whatever you may be dealing with. I felt as though he was speaking directly to me. Yet......
It's now Thursday, and I'll admit I've been a chicken. Do I take the step? Was this the good Lord pointing me in the right direction? Obviously, I have yet to do anything about it. Truthfully, I'm a little scared to do so. There are a lot of what ifs. What if it blows up in my face? What if there's no point because that "ship has sailed"? What if my head explodes from over-thinking this? But then, what kind of Christian am I if I don't follow as I'm being led.
Being an adult is at times hard. Doing what's right isn't always easy and your opinion of what's right might not be the same as someone else. *sigh*
Sorry if this seems kind of pointless and rambling. Thought if I wrote it down and read it a few times I might get a little insight.

Prayers & hugs to you!
I saved an email a friend sent the other day that I keep reading over and over, and I think it might be able to apply to you too, so I'll share:
Don't forget that we are supposed to grow as people. We learn from experiences and allow positive influences to shape us. We expand our boundries when we become parents and see the world through new eyes in order to teach our children. You are doing all of that! Be proud that you are not afraid! And be happy that you won't be held back!
Acting on the Lord's calling is so hard sometimes. We are quick to muddle such things with our own human uncertainties.
I find that if something is still on my heart days later, then I really should listen. I'll sometimes even wake up in the middle of the night with an unexplained, almost, "unfinished" feeling, and I have to search my heart to see what He is trying to reach me with.
I hope you'll find the strength you need to do what he calls you to do!!!
Sending good thoughts your way. :)
(I'm around if you want to email.)
