Leaving Comfort Zone

In letting go of the safety of my plans, and stepping out of my comfort zone, I am able to embrace what God has in store for me. And every time, it’s so much better than anything that I could ever have imagined myself. He pays attention to the details. He knows my heart, my passions, what I need, and where I should be. I just have to step out of my comfort zone and trust that He will take care of everything.

I get extremely excited in finding out what new adventure or journey is around the corner. I open my arms and let go of any plans that I had of my own. At this moment, I feel so risky, yet so safe. It is at this moment that I truly feel alive.

Although I release my will to take on his, I tend to hold back… My arms might be open to wherever he desires me to be; yet my hands grasp hold of people and comforts that I have let become a part of me.

Slowly I must stretch out each finger, to let go of all that I cling onto so tightly. Because I know that when I do release what is in my hands, I am able to receive all that He has in store for me.

My plan = take all rigorous courses throughout high school
His plan = Costa Rica

My plan = Go to Costa Rica during the summer to visit Ademar
His plan = Belize

My Plan = Marquette, get on the Physician’s Assistant track
His Plan = YWAM
