How do I start when I don't feel ready?

The file is open on your laptop. The application is drafted. The idea is sitting right there, waiting. Maybe it has been sitting there for three months, maybe longer. You keep telling yourself one more week, one more tweak, one more thing to fix first. But here is what nobody says out loud: ready is not a feeling that arrives. It is a decision you make before the feeling shows up. God does not ask you to see the whole road before you take the first step. He asks for the step. "(For we walk by faith, not by sight:)"

"(For we walk by faith, not by sight:)"

- 2 Corinthians 5:7 (KJV)

Pick the one thing you have been circling. Not the whole plan. Just the first move, the email you can write, the call you can make, the page you can open. Do it before noon today. One move. That is enough.

What is the smallest step you could take today that would prove to yourself you have already started?

God, I am tired of waiting to feel ready. Give me the courage to move before I feel certain. I trust that you are already out ahead of me on this road. Amen.
