Tip/Tidbit: Are you in a place of hesitation? Wipe the sweat off your palms and simply start. A few failed attempts will be worth the exhilaration of moving forward.
My husband has a car he loves; I love it too--if I don't have to drive it. It's a standard. While I have driven a standard, the learning experience began with my lurching into a stump, and with a few years between me and my more successful, gear-shifting Toyota Corolla days, I've reverted to stump-bumping. So I avoid my husband's car. I'm sure he's grateful. There's something about moving from neutral to first or reverse that leaves me with slick palms. Once I've hit second, I'm good for the race. The interstate and a sixth gear option beckon. Spiritually speaking, it's much the same. We drive a standard. And if we are nervous about the lurches, we may avoid traveling to places God intended us to go. Much like car gears, however, spiritual gear shifting can become easier once we get going. It's starting the journey that's usually the most difficult. If, however, we put aside the hesitation and tell ourselves, "It's time to move out of neutral," we usually find the thrill overtakes our nerves.
