Hey there,
You know that feeling when you are standing at the edge of something new, and your feet feel like they are glued to the floor? Starting something can be so hard. Add in the voice of self-doubt whispering, “Are you sure you are cut out for this?” and it can feel downright impossible.
And then there is the praying. You pour your heart out to God, asking Him to open doors, to light the way, to show you the exact path He has set you on. But what happens when the answers are not as clear as you hoped? When the path feels more like a foggy forest than a well-lit street?
I have been there, still am, sometimes. Believing in yourself can feel like a monumental task. But here is the thing I have learned: God does not always give us a map with a red “X” marking the spot. Sometimes He hands us a paintbrush and asks us to start creating, one stroke at a time.
I honestly feel that starting something new is like staring at a blank canvas. It is intimidating, full of uncertainty and you are scared you might ruin it. But here is the beauty: the first strokes do not have to be perfect; they just have to happen. In art and in life the masterpiece unfolds as you keep going. Trusting God’s plan does not mean you will see the whole picture right away; it means being willing to start, even when you do not know what the final piece will look like.
And let us talk about self-belief for a second. You do not have to wake up one day brimming with confidence. Sometimes belief grows with each step you take. Start messy, start scared, but just START!
So, if you are standing at the edge of something new, wondering if you are on the right path, I am here to remind you: God’s plan might not always be crystal clear, but He’s got you. Take the step, make the stroke. The masterpiece of your life is unfolding one moment at a time.
You have got this friend! And if you need a cheerleader along the way, I am just a message away.
