We all do it.

We tell ourselves we’ll get to it—someday.
We’ll write the book … someday.
We’ll take that trip … someday.
We’ll start the ministry, fix the relationship, pursue the dream … someday.

But here’s the truth: someday isn’t a day on the calendar. And if we’re not intentional, “someday” becomes “never”—not because we didn’t care, but because we never made space to move.

Maybe you’re in a season that feels chaotic. Or maybe you’re just exhausted. Maybe you’re waiting for a clear sign, or for all the pieces to come together before you take that first step.

But what if all God is asking of you right now is a willing heart and a small, faithful yes?

I’ve learned—often the hard way—that the life we imagine doesn’t just “happen.” It’s built, moment by moment, decision by decision, by ordinary people who decide they don’t want to wait anymore.

Not for things to get easier.
Not for more confidence.
Not for perfect timing.

If you’re reading this today and feeling the nudge, let this be the reminder: You don’t have to wait for a wake-up call to start living with purpose.

You were created on purpose for purpose. And that dream or desire that’s been quietly stirring in your heart? It’s not random. It’s not selfish. It’s not silly.  It’s not beyond your capabilities. It might be the very thing God is trying to use to draw you closer to Him—and to bless others through you.

So what’s one thing you’ve been putting off that matters to you deeply?
Write it down.
Pray over it.
Then ask: What small step can I take this week to move in that direction?

Start small. Start scared. Start unsure.
But whatever you do—just start.

Your life doesn’t begin when everything settles down. It begins when you say yes to what matters now.
