If you know me at all then you know that I’m pretty quiet, I like my space and I like my comfort zone. I have accepted that this is who I am and I have been okay with it for a while now. I had become comfortable with the way I was.
But I want more.
I have wished and asked God for a while now that he would make me more outgoing and adventurous. I dream of traveling the world and doing crazy exciting things but yet I am scared. I’m scared because I start to think “Well that’s not who I am so I could never do that.” I’m scared because I know that will require me to step out of my comfort zone.
I kept asking God for him to make me outgoing and adventurous but nothing was happening. Then it hit me. I wasn’t becoming this person I wanted to be because I wasn’t willing to let go of my comfort zone and completely trust God.
Trust is a big thing to do and to completely trust is an even bigger thing to do. Why shouldn’t I completely trust God though? He has done a lot of amazing things for me already. He has provided for me and will continue to provide for me. He has never put me in harms way. He has taken me to places I never thought I would get to go and I’m only 18.
So here’s what I’m doing. I’m letting go of my comfort zone and I’m completely trusting God. No, it wont happen over night. I will have to let go of my comfort zone every day and ask God what He wants to show me that day.
God has already shown me how I can step outside of my comfort zone. Just by stepping out and going on this crazy thing called the World Race. I’ll be honest, I’m scared and nervous. The thought of being away from my family for nine months and leaving this place I know so well scares me.
God hasn’t called me to be comfortable though, He has called me to do great things.
I no longer want to be comfortable. I want to be a crazy adventurous person and do it all for God. I want to say yes to things that might scare me but know that God is protecting me.
So I’m taking a big step of faith, letting go of my comfort zone and completely trusting God and I’m going on the World Race.
