First Steps
Isn’t it weird just how crucial first steps really are? Sometimes we think so much about the journey that we forget the fact that we won’t get anywhere if we don’t simply begin.
I randomly checked my blog the other day and realized that it’s been almost a month since I have posted anything new. I seriously wanted to punch myself in the face. (I’m really too much of a wuss to do this anyway. I’ve never hit someone else let alone myself.)
I read a cool book a while back called The War of Art (it’s cool because I know several worship pastors who like it, and they’re the coolest people on earth in their own minds) In this book Steven Pressfield writes about how sometimes for him the toughest thing was to sit down and write. However, chances were, if he would just sit down with the intention of writing the words would inevitably begin to flow. It was just about the first step.
I can’t blame my absence on the fact that I was stuck or uninspired. I simply wasn’t taking that first step. I think you know this doesn’t just apply to writing. What is that thing that you haven’t done for a week, a month, a year, a decade, a lifetime? Could it be that the answer is as simple as taking that first step?
The timing of this message is Divine-inspired Jayson. Thanks for being a vessel and further confirmation of my own “first step.”
Good thought. I’ve experienced this with the Will of God for me. Sometimes we cannot know nor feel the Will of God, unless we take the first few steps to implement it by faith. Instead of a Christian complaining that he or she cannot do it; if he or she just takes the first few steps the Will of God will be revealed.
