Sweet friend,

I see something stirring inside of you. You can’t wait to try something new, but you’re scared to step out into the unknown.

Right now doesn’t feel like the right time to take a risk and take a chance on this. Let me tell you, there’s never going to be a perfect time.

Something is always going to be standing in your way. You’re always going to think you need more money or more time. You’re always going to think maybe you should wait until your kids get older. You’re always going to think you’ll wait until your schedule isn’t so demanding.

There’s always something to wait for.

Sweet friend, this dream has been stirring in your heart for a while now, and you continue coming up with reasons to play it safe—but safe isn’t going to get you where you want to be. Playing it safe is what you’ve done, and it’s only going to keep you where you are right now.

I know it’s scary to think about all the ways this dream could fail—and I know you hate the idea of failure—that’s what’s kept you in this spot for so long. Sweet friend, I believe in you. I believe you have what it takes for this dream to flourish.

Trust God to make a way and lead you through all of the difficult parts. He has gifted you perfectly for this adventure, and He will be there every step of the way. He will lead you through any troubles that arise. He will give you the courage to take the next step.

Right now, all He’s calling you to do is turn to Him. Grab onto His hand and take that first step. He will take care of the rest.

Sweet friend, I’m excited to watch your dream unfold, and I can’t wait for you to see that it’s even greater than you could ever imagine.
