I am sure that we have all heard the saying, "There's a first time for everything". But sometimes that first step can be a hard one.
This is my first blog, and to be honest, I have no idea what I am doing. I really wanted to blog for the longest time, but I never had the courage, if you will, to start one. A couple of my friends started blogging, and they are the reason why this blog now exists. But the first step to this wasn't easy. I had battles in my mind, thinking that I may not like it. Eventually I came to a conclusion, that I won't know until I try.
Come on.
Face it.
We have all been through it.
Think back to that one thing you did for the first time that you were on the fence about. Was it easy to make that first step? No. But you did it.
First steps are makes us who we are. They change us. If your first step led you into something bad, then you learn from it. If your first step leads you to something good, you build on it.
Now I want to tell about one of the first steps I made in my life that helped me in so many ways.
I came onto the worship team at my church.
The first step to that was not easy. I had to 'audition' in front of people.....I am one of those people who used to fake sick just to not say a speech in front of my class in elementary school.... Not to mention SING!!
But, you know what.... I did it. It changed my life. it broke fear off of me, it brought me closer to God, and it brought more joy in my life than you can ever imagine.
It's amazing to think that God loves us so much that He would use the smallest things in life to help us with our walk with Him.
So what are you on the fence about? Trying out for a sports team at school? Trying to get onto the worship team at your church? Maybe even wanting to get this new job you heard about in your office?
You will never know unless you try. Who knows, it may even change your life.
Take that first step.
God Bless,
Love,
