It's Time To Begin

"It's time, Bramblewood" whispered the Forest Guardian through the little mouse door. "If we are to reach our destiny, we must go."

"Wrap your grapes in your travel sack. You can eat them on the way." said Mrs. Bramblewood. They gave each other a hug and then Bramblewood finished his late-minute preparations before slipping through the door and into the woods.

Mrs. Bramblewood cleared the table singing her favorite tune. She didn't concern herself with Bramblewood's safety. She knew the Forest Guardian would see to it they would get there without incident. She could hear their voices outside begin to fade as they walked past the boundaries of their home. She had no idea when they would return, but she did understand that this was something Bramblewood had to do. It was in his heart to accomplish this and at last, his journey had begun.

I can really be a procrastinator, but I realized I succeeded the most when I jumped right in without giving it a second thought.. If it is God's will for you, He will move mountains to clear your path. He will give you strength and wisdom to do what you need to do. So be a brave soul and go for it, even if your bravery is minute by  minute. Whatever is in your heart to accomplish. . .Just begin.

For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart. (Jeremiah 29:11-13)
