One Step At A Time

The beginning of a thing is often characterized by creation. It is a period when lofty imaginations are forced into manifestation. The extent of this manifestation defines the foundation on which the rest of the structure will stand.

In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. He had a ready made idea. He spoke and forced His idea to materialize. He created.

When I started this blog on the eve of my birthday, I spent hours working late into the night ... bringing into existence beautiful ideas of what I wanted my blog to represent. I chose carefully the template, the colors and more sensitively, the words. What a painstaking process it was.

In the beginning sacrifices have to be made. Great investments are required to complete that all important stage. Indeed, God knew no rest until He finished the beginning.

Intrigued by the splendor of creation, I worked hard birthing this blog, inspired by how much I want it to bless every visitor.

Often times in life we find ourselves at the beginning of something. A new job, a new family, a new project, a new phase of life... and so on.
Worry not! It is your opportunity to create the end. Overwhelm the alter of 'the beginning' with sacrifices that will run for you when your legs have become weak. Regard your beginning as the time to create those wonderful ideas that have been locked up too long, then spend the rest of the time watching your dreams come true.

Tips for the beginning:

- Have an idea, dream wild
- Set out. Utilize all your available resources no matter how small
- Sacrifice all, seek no reward for your time, money, energy, self pride, etc
- Be inspired by your vision for the end
- Invite the best beginner to begin with you... God.

Though thy beginning was small, yet thy latter end should greatly increase. (Job 8:7)
