You didn't miss the window.
It's not pointless to start it now.
You don't need to rush.
You're right on time.
Switch the job.
Start the blog.
Make the website.
Write the recipe book.
Start taking photographs.
Try what you've been wanting to try.
Change what you've been stuck on and frustrated with.
Retry what you gave up on.
It's not bad timing. That's just what the enemy likes to make you think. If he can keep you distracted, busy, and thinking it's too late, then he can keep you from creating. From trying something new. From sharing your gifts.
I spent years not starting this blog because I kept listening to the lies that it was silly to start it now. That I missed the window of when what I wanted to do was popular and wise to start. But somewhere along the way, I realized I wasn't creating anything. When instead, I could have been doing something. If nothing else, I could have been learning and growing. And I heard these similar thoughts that gave me just the encouragement I needed.
There's no such thing as being too late (unless I guess if you're late to meet a friend for lunchツ). God's timing is always perfect. The desire in your heart is there for a reason, but it's up to you to listen to it. You can keep shaming yourself, or you can remember that every season is there to teach you a lesson and you needed all those lessons before starting. And now that you have those lessons, it's just the right time to jump in. You aren't too late, in fact, you might be right on time. This timing is perfect and someone out there will be blessed by what you have in your heart. And it might be a huge blessing to you too.
You're not late, and you're not running out of time. Those are lies. You're too special and too valuable to think the time past has been a waste. It's been what you needed and there's no better time than right now.
What the enemy uses to take and destroy, the Lord uses for good. And He has great plans for you.
Much love,
Brittany
