In full transparency, starting something new is such an emotional roller coaster! Starting Home Sweet Homeschool RVA has been years in the making. I literally woke up from a vision almost two years ago where I could see every single aspect of this space. Ever since then, it has weighed so heavily in my heart that I knew it must have been from the Lord. The only thing was, the vision that I had was way bigger that I felt I had time, capacity and most importantly finances for. But when the Lord places something on your heart... he'll be the one to make it happen. Every step of the way has reminded me that I really don't know what I'm doing. Do I start with an online presence? Do I find a brick and mortar where I can start building the dream? Do I join a co-op or other organization so I can learn the needs of the community around me? Do I start with a business license or just start with what I have and keep moving forward from there? Some days I feel like I'm spinning in circles and then I remember to ask the Lord to order my steps. So far what I have learned in starting this new thing: ✨God's timing is perfect, I just need to be obedient. ✨I have an incredible community around me and many of them have gifts I didn't even know about. We are on this adventure together. Encouraging and uplifting one another. And sometimes collaborating! ✨This vision will come to fruition. I'm fully trusting and believing this. ✨I cannot give in to any negative thoughts or comments that may come my way. I already know what God says about me is truth and therefore lies (i.e. this will fail, you're not good enough, etc.) will not be entertained. ❓What new thing have you started, or are wanting to start, but you may be holding back? What is one step you can take THIS WEEK toward that goal, dream or vision? Let's do this, together! 💜 ~Lyric
