Small Steps - Monday Emotions

Very, very cool Sunday!

This Sunday was one of those days that marked the real power in taking small steps. Five months ago I decided to start training for a half marathon. The process was tough and there were many times when I didn't want to take the small steps of training and eating right. Yet, five months later I ran the race and even beat my goal time, pretty cool!

Two weeks ago we had a baptism Sunday. The night before, I was sure God was telling me to keep the baptism up one more week because there would be even more people needing to take this HUGE AMAZING STEP. I took the small step of saying yes to God and sure enough 20 more people took the small step of signing up to be baptized!

Bottom line this was a Sunday that reflected the real power of taking small steps. The truth is, if you keep taking small steps you will get to the place you need to be and God wants you to be. So... what say you? What are the small steps you need to take in your life? If you listen, God will speak!

* Baptisms were amazing! Josh Carter did an amazing job – so proud of him!
