Scared Steps, Shaky Breath ❤️
God loves brave beginners! ✨
Scripture For Today: "Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go."
You signed up for something completely new and now you're second-guessing yourself.
Your stomach feels fluttery every time you think about that first class.
Maybe you worry you're too old or too out of practice to start over.
You wonder if you should just cancel and stay in your routine.
But something deep inside whispers that this could be really good for you.
Saint Joseph of Cupertino was terrible at almost everything he tried at first.
He failed tests, dropped things, and seemed hopeless at being a priest.
God doesn't call the ready - He makes the willing ready.
Every expert was once a complete beginner.
Today's Prayer: For New Adventures
Jesus, I'm scared to try this new thing,
My nervous thoughts are on the wing.
What if I fail or look like a fool?
What if I'm not cut out for this school?
Give me courage to take the first step,
Even when my fears have crept.
Help me trust You'll be right there,
Through every stumble, every prayer.
Let this new path bring me joy,
Like a child with a favorite toy.
Amen.
🕯️ Your brave new beginning deserves beautiful light 🕯️
Light this candle during your scary first steps and quiet moments of courage.
Your purchase gives a child vitamin A for a year - one brave mom helping another.
Put your hand on your racing pulse.
Feel your alive and beating courage.
God placed that bravery inside you for this moment.
May Saint Joseph of Cupertino's unlikely success remind you today—
God specializes in turning beginners into champions.
Your willingness matters more than your skill.
Holding you in prayer,
