Starting Over

What is that is so hard about starting over?  On one hand, the possibility of creating a new identity is intoxicating.  On the other hand, the unknown is terrifying.  No matter how many ideas we have or what number of opportunities, delving into undiscovered territory can be overwhelming to say the least.

Although I am bursting in anticipation of what lies ahead, I find myself paralyzed at the idea of this new creation. There are days that I work feverishly to sort through the details of this new venture.  Yet other days, I am frozen.  Fear and panic set in and I begin to wonder if any of it will ever come to fruition.  I begin to wonder if I have what it takes to make it happen.

Today I am fearful, but I am clinging to the hope that the calling is what matters the most.  I realize that I don't have what it takes, but I'm not alone.  I believe that if God called me to this purpose, He will provide the strength, the courage and the means by which I will succeed.  All I have to do is show up and do the work.
