Small Steps…

Small steps lead you in the same direction as gigantic leaps, only the smaller steps enable you to enjoy the view as you pass through.

Small, the definitions; little size or small dimensions; minor in influence, power or rank, lacking in strength. Or does it? I happen to think small is actually a lot bigger then we give it credit.

A child’s first steps are small but then the next thing you know they are running. A whisper is a sound so small that hardly anyone can hear it yet it can stop a large conversation in an instant. Every professional athlete or Olympian starts as a small child, taking that first small step into the pool, onto the balance beam or on a field.

Often small steps are produced from a small spark of interest or desire. Perhaps you have decided to teach yourself about the stock market, so you study books, explore ways to learn and begin with a small investment, could be you are into theatrical makeup, creating images, and creatures of fright, so you practice daily on your own face to perfect your art. Perhaps you’ve always dreamed of being a writer and someone close to you makes a suggestion that just won’t stop replaying in your head.

Every dream and desire starts with a small glimmer and grows. It may not make any sense to someone else but that doesn’t matter it’s your dream, your vision, your energy spent not theirs. Don’t let the dark cloud people rain on your parade. Ha, even parades start one step at a time.

Often our dreams are inspired by God. That doesn’t mean we don’t have to do our part but He will certainly do his part right beside you. Jeremiah 29:11 NCV “I say this because I know what I am planning for you,” says the Lord. “I have good plans for you, not plans to hurt you.”

Proverbs 16:3 NCV “Depend on the Lord in whatever you do, and your plans will succeed.”

So, whether it’s taking a college class or two online in the evening, painting masterpieces in your garage, or writing poems about fairies you viewed while looking at the world through mystical lenses. It doesn’t matter, it’s yours…go out and make that first step forward or in some cases steps back to…thoughts to ponder!

Nothing is ever to small, a step, a smile, a kind word or two…It’s a new day take a small step toward something that is just yours. Have a sunshine day and Thank you for joining me.🥰
