Doing Hard Things...

Steps of faith aren't always grandiose and hugely impactful...they can be just mere baby steps, in obedience to what God is calling you to do.

Yesterday, I took a baby step.  I led devotions at a nursing home.  So, Not so hard you say.  Well, I have never been one to enjoy nursing home ministry.  I work with Kids and Teens.  So, I took this one GIANT fearful step and actually had fun.  I walked in and felt at home.  I enjoyed the message and the interaction with the seniors.  It was a HUGE step of faith on my part, albeit one minute baby step in reality.

I continue to take steps of faith in everyday.

1. I joined a CATALYST group, which is basically a group of licensed ministers in my region who gather regularly to discuss leadership issues.  I go to my first one tomorrow.  A little afraid - yeah.  But I know this is a step of faith.
2. Tonight, I am attending 252 Underground's bible study.  What is 252?  It's a place for teenagers who might not necessarily fit in anywhere else (including the typical church setting) to come and get fed, with physical and spiritual food.
3. I joined Boot Camp - a highly effective physical training group.  Starting on Monday, I will meet 3 times a week with several others at a local park for one hour of intensive physical exercise. 

Just some small baby steps, but all with one goal - to go forward in faith and see what excitement God has in store for me.
