Stepping Out

Right before you step into something big, do you ever get that feeling that maybe you are biting off more than you can chew? I do that sometimes. I feel God's pull on my heart to do something, know it is what He has called me to for this time, and yet when it comes down to the wire of actually stepping off to do it I hesitate.
