Mastering Baby Steps

Over the past few days, I've been reflecting on the final week of May, 2015. I was putting the final touches on the revamp of this website, ramping up to the prospect of sticking to a commitment which I felt convicted regarding... to have a page titled Daily Prayers, and not be writing a daily prayer. Friday marks the beginning of year four.

But the prospect... seriously? Every day? A little daunting. A little overwhelming. Quite challenging. Yet, I've noticed God has been faithful to help me as I've been faithful to take the time to open the laptop. Or phone or tablet, in times of great technical frustration.

We all start with baby steps. Learning. Proficiency. Pace-setting. And knowing when and for how long the hustle moment is supposed to last.

Commitment is not for the faint of heart. Even when time, circumstance and resources change; the struggle is real. And those are words from the heart. Not that the past three years haven't been.

Time heals wounds, especially for those who want to be healed.
Experience is a great teacher, for those willing to learn from it.
Great accomplishments are the result of things, which after they have been started, have stayed the course.

On this #youthPastorWednesday, pray for those pastors who are struggling to start.  May God help them dream again and begin anew. Pray for those struggling to stay the course. Whether a specific obstacle or life in general has gotten in the way, may the be encouraged to press on and move forward in the calling God has for them and on the path in which He has placed them. Pray for an unshakable resolve and a renewed sense of commitment to what God is working in both their lives and their ministries. May God accomplish the miraculous in the midst of a new season.

One moment.
One decision.
One purpose.
One life.
One God.
For His glory alone.
