When an idea repeatedly presents itself, I now know it is Divine Spirit urging me to act. Sometimes I hesitate because the idea seems impossible to execute. Can I really accomplish this task? Do I have adequate resources or skills? Yet, when I commit to stepping out on faith and going forward with the idea, support always appears at the proper time. It is OK that I cannot see the entire path or how events will unfold. Now I know that all I need to do is say "yes," and step out on faith for amazing things to occur.
