Baby Steps

Greetings!

I listened to a young preacher do her initial sermon today, and it made me think about the first time I spoke in public. I was a  member of Toastmasters, and I was so nervous that you could see my legs shake through my pants. I had a written speech, but I couldn't even see the words. It was a mess, but thankfully I made it through without passing out.

Back then I dreamed of speaking all over the world one day and I still hold onto that dream. I believe through God anything is possible. During those meetings, at times, my spirit would feel so huge, but my flesh still felt so small. I learned to be patient with myself and I learned that it was going to take baby steps...

Speaking in public didn't come easy for me, because I was a background kind of girl. But I believe that God doesn't give you a vision for something without also giving you provision. The problem is the enemy knows who you are too, and he knows what God sees in you because he sees it too and his job is to keep you from it. God gave me a heart that loves to help others and I don't take that lightly, but I also know that He has called me to do more.

Taking baby steps means that progress may be slow, but you are making progress. It means that one day, you will walk boldly into that thing God is calling you to.  Never give up. He is faithful to His promises. We serve a powerful, and amazing God. Keep pressing. Keep going. Keep believing. Trust that what He has created you to do...you will do.

Until next time...

Be blessed
