Don’t Dismiss the Small Steps!!!

Good Morning,

First, let me say THANK YOU! 🙌

To everyone who showed up and filled the house on Sunday—your presence, your energy, and your support meant the world. We felt the love, and I pray you left full and fueled!

Sunday’s message reminded us: Before you build… check the plan! Just like Noah followed God’s instructions with precision, we are also called to trust God’s divine blueprint for our lives—even when it doesn’t make sense.

Today’s word builds on that thought beautifully.

Start your day with God… read Zechariah 4:6-10 focusing on 10. Do not despise these small beginnings, for the LORD rejoices to see the work begin.  God doesn’t wait for the finish line to celebrate- He rejoices when you just begin! S.O.A.K… much love !!!

Maybe you’re not where you want to be yet. Maybe you’re only seeing small changes, quiet progress, and slow movement. But God is rejoicing—not over the completion of your journey—but over the beginning of your obedience.

He celebrates the step you took.

He sees the email you sent.

He notices the time you carved out to pray.

He honors the moment you decided to keep going, even when you felt like quitting.

💡 Practical ways to apply this:

• Write it down. Track your progress—small or big. A prayer answered, a mindset shift, a habit broken. These are victories!

• Start where you are. Don’t wait until everything is perfect. God blesses movement, not perfection.

• Encourage someone else. Tell someone, “You’re making progress. I see you!” It might be just what they need to hear.

🙏 A Prayer to Speak Today:

“Lord, help me not to overlook the small things You’re doing in my life. Give me the strength to keep building, one step at a time, even when I don’t see the full picture. I trust that You’re rejoicing over my obedience. Let my heart stay encouraged, focused, and full of faith. In Jesus’ name, Amen.”

🧡 Be Encouraged:

God isn’t asking you to move mountains today—just to take one faithful step. Don’t compare your process to anyone else’s. Every great thing started small. So don’t you dare despise your beginning—God is already rejoicing!

Let today be a reminder: your small is still sacred.

And remember—The plan still stands!

Much Love 💕
