Just Try

When things seem so unfamiliar, out of our comfort zone, daunting or scary we often avoid them. I myself have realized that when I avoid taking that next step to progress towards a dream it’s because it seems almost unobtainable and I don’t know how to begin.

We bought land after initially moving here to Arizona, with a dream of maybe building on it. After also buying a house closer to town, the property seemed such a long distance away, we began to rule it out as an option for our future. Thankfully, with time, as it usually happens, our perspective changed, Mitch suggested we revisit that idea and it’s once again, a viable option.

The thought of selling our house and taking a vast piece of land and tackling all that it entails with building a house; permits, codes, a well, septic, power, and on and on was beyond intimidating. I found myself overwhelmed even with the idea. But as with any dream we’ve pursued before, that feeling of knowing this is the next right step for us has given us the gas to begin the foot work. I prayed, asking God if this is even possible, and he said to me clear as day, “Just try” .

Right after that I grabbed a notepad and pen, and with the help of our realtor, we got some phone numbers for the big ticket items and started making calls. we’re currently getting quotes for everything to see where we might be budget wise. We’re keeping the faith that we can feed our dreams and our family with the 5 loaves and two fish we are blessed to have. (Matthew 14:13-21)

I hope that for you, what ever it is that you dream, you begin that first step and JUST TRY.
