Have you ever had a desire to do something, but you were waiting for the optimal timing to start? Are you still waiting or will there ever be an ideal time? I‘m guilty of waiting for my kids to get out of school before I started pursuing my dreams. I‘ve been guilty of waiting until I saved enough money before I established my business. I‘ve been guilty of waiting until I heard from God himself to move before I pursued my purpose in life. In fact, I‘m still waiting.

The truth is, I’m waiting because I’m terrified. The truth is, I’m waiting because I’m fearful if it will be a success. The truth is I‘m waiting for someone I trust to pump me up. The truth is, I‘m waiting until I believe I‘m whole enough to encourage others to become whole. Right! It seems hypocritical to want to encourage others when, in my mind, I need encouragement myself. My thoughts are constantly all over the place but it’s not until I begin replacing the lies in my head with the truths of my Father. 

The reality is there will at no time be a perfect time to move. We must have enough faith to take the first steps and trust God will help us take the rest. I will never be whole enough because I need God daily and living with him is what makes me whole. I realize I can’t make it through this world without him because with him I am free, with him, I am more than capable. But you see the keyword is I‘m not doing it alone, I‘m doing it with HIM. Many times, we are figuring the thing out for ourselves and because we can’ figure it out, we continue to wait for the right moment. Well, if you‘re moving with God, he‘s in control and there is no need to wait. He has access to everything you need to be successful. And you can rest in knowing he doesn’t half do anything. He goes big because what you‘re doing is a representation of him. 

So, no matter what you‘re going through. No matter if you don’t think you have it all together to move forward, take the first step in faith anyway and allow God to do the rest. He knows where you‘re headed, he knows how the story ends because he wrote the book. There will not be a perfect time; the right time is now!
