Soon you'll develop callouses on your fingers. Its great because you won't feel much on your finger tips. You can take stuff right out of the toaster and the microwave.
Just a small, and often overlooked, perk of playing guitar.
I second the use of a metronome. Another good strategy is to play along with actual song your learning. It will help you get the timing down for strumming. Finally, I'd find someone who has a little experience playing, and have him show you a few things. A lot of guitar "breakthroughs" that I experienced were from friends who were just a little better than I was.
