Step Out in Confidence

Starting anything new is hard! Maybe it’s starting a new exercise routine, or joining a new class. Sometimes it’s because we feel afraid, inadequate, or embarrassed. Maybe we wonder if it’s worth it, or if it will even make a difference. The thing is, we each have our own unique strengths and struggles, but we all start at the beginning. We will never get where we’re going if we never take that first step. We’ll never know what we can accomplish if we never get out of our comfort zone. Each time we make that choice to eat a little healthier, move a little more, or take on that new challenge, it gets us a little closer to where we want to be. After a few weeks, or months we can look back and see just how far we’ve come. When we do that, it empowers us to conquer the next thing, and then the next. God gives us the strength to persevere and overcome! He also puts people in our lives to encourage us and hold us accountable. I encourage you to step out in confidence, and to be strong in mind, body, and spirit! When we invest in ourselves, we are better able to care for the people God has placed in our lives. You are beautiful, and you are worth investing in!
