The Zone

Today me and my lady friends met up at one of our favorite places on earth, Starbucks. We do this quite frequently, this coffee date thing. While our tall, 4 pump vanilla skim chai’s are always wonderfully delicious, nothing compares to the conversation that always comes from these dates. We delve into some deep things, and today was one of my favorite discussions we’ve had. I’ll try to recap as best I can: My sister, Stacie, brought up how when we go somewhere or do something dangerous for Jesus, we call it “going out of our comfort zone”. But if we think about it on a spiritual level, it is then that we should be stepping into our comfort zone. Our spiritual comfort zone. We discovered that these are the two types of comfort – the physical, earthly kind that we get when we feel all warm and fuzzy about how secure life is going. But there is also a spiritual comfort zone, that we tap into only when we are truly walking in the will of God. It seems to me that it is only after we abandon our earthly comfort zone, that we can truly experience the peace of walking in the steps God created us for. Even if that means we are sick, imprisoned, displaced, in danger, even in the valley of the shadow of death. These things are unthinkable in our human sense of comfort. But that is the beauty of this Divine reversal… the way earth thinks is the opposite of the way of the Heavenlys! I also find that when I settle into my physical comfy cozy way of life, my spiritual comfort zone is all in disarray…. I have no peace. This concept is hard to write on paper, so I’m very sorry if its making zero sense! It just struck me so deep and made me think about things in a different way. So although:
