The First Step

Taking the initiative in getting something started is always the hardest part. Whether the task at hand is the introduction to a paper, an application to medical school, or a resume for a job, having the motivation to start something that is usually tedious and cumbersome is very difficult. Yet again in my life do I find myself at one of these starting points. This is probably one of the most difficult and humbling things that I have ever taken on in my life, but, unfortunately, it is a necessity and pivotal to grow and flourish in my aspects. Quite honestly I am very anxious and nervous about taking this first step. I know that it has to be done, but I just know all of the stress and emotional weight that it will place upon me. I wish that I did not have to start this by myself. I know that God is my strength and my light, but it is always nice to have that physical support and encouragement, too! My friends and family are with me every step of the way, and they have been more than supportive and compassionate during this journey. I am very thankful for them, but I wish that they were here right now......God, please give me strength and peace.....
