That First Step is a Doozy!

What a busy week! It seems that season is upon us once again. There is a lot going on in the business and then there is gardening and yard work at home. It seems odd at times that spring would be such a busy time compared with other times of the year. Perhaps it is the fact that spring is when much of the work is done for the year but hardly any of the benefit comes until later.

For instance, at work we have done a tremendous amount of work since January, but we have been a little tight financially. We have a new home ready to sell to show for it and we have a cabin ready to build as well as a package we have shipped. This is mostly potential income at this point which will benefit us later. Meanwhile we have had to make payroll and try to keep afloat at home.

Much success in life follows this same pattern.  Much of the work needs to be done on faith, knowing that the reward will come at a later time. We can't always live for the future as there are needs that must be met today, but many of the most rewarding experiences come after we have applied the effort on faith. Move forward with those plans because God only rewards those who are willing to take the first few steps in the dark.

Just a thought from the chainsaw carpenter.
