Out of my Comfort Zone...

I am a person of routine. I like to go to work, work out daily, eat my healthy food, and plan out my life. I devotedly carry my calendar and make plans for everything.

I am going to Africa, which contradicts everything that I love. All which lead to COMFORT and security. I would say the majority of us plan our lives to consistently include both of these, because they make us feel safe.

I trust God and what He has called me to. I am okay with being out of my comfort zone, actually on the exact opposite side of it, because God must have something better for me on this end. At this point in my life, I want to change the world more than I want a home or husband, or any other comfort or security. I believe that God, who controls every detail of my life, will provide these things in His timing. If He doesn't, I believe I will be joyful and happy with whatever He does provide. I follow His voice, for His leading is all that I trust. I do not worry about things that are minor compared to the bigger picture, which leads to my purpose in this life. I just want to live out my purpose. I only have one life to do this. The time is now.

He called me and I answered. I don't care if it doesn't look normal and I am glad that it doesn't. I must be on the right path because I was not created to live the same life as you, or any other person. I was created with passions and a destiny that come from God, which He uniquely designed in me. I will believe Him even when I don't believe myself, or don't understand His plans.

His dreams for our lives are always much bigger. But with an increase in size comes an increase in fear and temptations to choose another path. We cannot achieve our dreams on our own. We need God and we need people. I chose to fight for my dreams, for any other life is a waste of time and potential.

I say these things so you will allow yourself to think similar thoughts, giving you permission to dream bigger in your mind. I do these things so that you will be inspired to take action and live out your dreams as I do.
