Ready, Set, Go

As I type and delete the beginning of this blog post several times, I am thinking again thoughts that I have had a few hundred times.  I have thought about starting a blog a lot...but I also feel pretty self-absorbed in doing so, a little nervous about sharing personal thoughts, and question whether it will mean anything to anyone.  

Nevertheless, it has been on my heart.  

Is this feeling in my heart and thought in my head a God urging?

A while back, I spontaneously--or maybe not so spontaneously--heard a sermon on the radio.  The truth of it was common sense and also biblical.  The teacher said, "You will never know if the nudging voice or feeling you have to do something is from God until you take a step of faith."  

Think about it.  Maybe even re-read that quote.  

You really can't.  Until you act and move on the thought or urging, you can't know if it is from God.    Otherwise it remains just a thought or nudge.  Until it becomes an act it isn't a step.  Until you take the step, you can't know whether it is right.  

This is my step.  At least for today.  

Do you have a step you need to take?
