First Steps

”wherever we want to go in life, that journey begins with the first step and that first step has to be taken in the life in which we find ourselves.”   David Whyte

 

I am currently in Granada Nicaragua, spending a few days to rest and reflect after leading a parent vision trip with GapM squad.  What a wonderful week…work ministry and community….

As we enter this second act of life, we have a final chance to redirect our thoughts, our mission, our work and our very lives.  The key is it does not have to begin with a complete new location or head over seas…it can begin right where we are, in the middle of life…

I am convinced many of us hold back from entering the second act with all cylinders because we think we need to be better, more prepared, better educated or more holy. so we hold back… sit on the bench waiting for something to happen.  when all along the opportunities to serve, to change and live fully is right in front of us.  To be activated into this second act of life, we merely have to pray for opportunities, for doors to open and then to take that first step over the threshold…

That first step takes all the nerve and strength we can muster….but it pays such incredible dividends.

dont wait for the right circumstance…or the right time…The full life may very well be right in front of you…your job…your family…your church…plenty of opportunities for life and change.  So step through that door and see where it takes you.  I promise it might be tough, but it will be fulfilling and someday you may find yourself in an exotic locale…living life to the fullest and marvel at God’s incredible timing.

The second act of life is so worthwhile living to the fullest…
