First steps are always so hard for me to take – but it is that second step that is the hardest for me. I’m a second guesser. Know one of those? I’m always second guessing if I’m making the right decision. Did I just make the right decision? Is God really calling me to do that? Where’s my blinking neon sign pointing me in the right direction?

I’m currently at those cross roads and waited a year before taking that first step. Wondering if it was right. Now, it is time for the second step. The Doozy. The one that I keep second guessing.
God has been speaking to me over the last year to change careers. By next summer I should be in the non traditional license program to become a certified teacher for middle school in Arkansas. Honestly, looking back (hindsight is always 20/20 isn’t it!), I can see that God was calling me to be a teacher many, many moons ago.
I’m learning to let go. God’s in control of me. I seek His guidence and He has my best interest at heart. He has never failed me.
“And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.” Romans 8:28
Ever heard of Let Go and Let God? The person that said that – did they really have that kind of resolve where they could actually let. go. ?? Tough ain’t it. It is something I struggle with – hence the second guessing. But God really does care about me. All the little stuff matters. He loves me and He has my back. How comforting is that!
So many thanks to Holley for reminding me to not to stand still, to continue forward. God speaks often to me through your wise and loving words.
“You can make many plans, but the Lord’s purpose will prevail.” Proverbs 19:21
So here’s to taking that second step. To trusting God and seeking His wisdom in all things. Knowing I’m not taking the step alone. And here’s to leaving second guesses behind.
