The Uncomfortableness in Transition

A few years ago, I prayed that God would make me uncomfortable.  I felt like I was becoming stagnant, and getting use to be in the safe zone.  Not really living my faith out because I guess I didn't really have to, but maybe I was living my faith out and didn't realize it at the time.  Either way,  I prayed that prayer.  I don't regret it.

It wasn't as if my life got turned upside down 5 minutes later, but over the years I have noticed the ways I have been called out of my comfort zone.  It can be scary, but it is peaceful.  I am not fearful.  That's the one of the biggest things I appreciate.  I am not afraid because I know that I am not alone.

If you are in a transition period, ride the wave and enjoy it.  I know for certain that you will definitely grow and learn.  Don't forget to take notes because you may need the reminders in the future.
