The more uncomfortable something makes us
feel, the more we can learn about God and ourselves.

I will say that this hasn’t been the easiest race for me…but after all what race is easy?
God has moved me into this place right now where i’m very uncomfortable and at every “hard” moment I just want to give up. I’ve been asked the question many times in the past..”Do you like change?” My answer has been heck yes!…of course I like when all the seasons hit..i love summer, spring, fall, and winter…I love to buy new things and get rid of the old, I like to be around different people…. But really deep down inside after I’ve laid my head on the pillow I ask my self the same question “Do I like change?” ….And the answer is quite different.
No I don’t like to be out of my comfort zone.. my Krystel zone,
I don’t like people telling me to change the way I am,
I don’t like to shut up when I know I’m right,
I don’t like to share everything I have because of “community living”,
No I don’t like not knowing where I will be tomorrow, or next week.
No I don’t like waking up every morning realizing I’m in a different country and not in the dream,
No I don’t like not being able to shower when I want.. and going 6 days without one.
No I don’t like hot dogs, salami, pb and jelly, but forced to eat it because thats all the team has bought.
No I don’t like having to throw my toilet paper away in the trash can instead of the toilet.
No I don’t like that I only have 1 pair of jeans, 1 pair of sweatpants, and 1 skirt that I have to rotate everyday.
No I don’t like washing my clothes in the sink and hanging them up for the world to see.
No I don’t like to be woken up for bible study at 9am.
BUT that’s where God comes in and makes me uncomfortable as if I’m not already… He is now changeing me eternally. Taking me out of the “Krystel zone” and putting me in his zone. He’s showing me how big He is and how small I am. How it doesn’t matter what I want or anyone else around me but how I put my trust and faith in him and He will work it out. One night I was having a “Hard” moment…God had me turn to James 1:19 Be quick to listen,slow to speak,and slow to become angry.
That really hit me …..i just need to shut up and listen!!!
Being in Gods zone I have learned that i have the choice….I have the choice to have a good day, bad day, for people to tell me what they think and to either learn from it or move on. I have the choice to like it………….So I say………Yes God move me where you want me even though its really uncomfortable because I just need to shut up and listen and not to become angry about it!
