What’s My Next?
So I am comfortable where I am. I happy where I’m at. Where is the line drawn? Where do I become too comfortable in my faith and in my life? When is it that I stop growing?
The first 6 or 7 months of being home were restorative and a chance to press the reset button on my life and my walk with Christ. What I learned next is that there is no growth to be had when we stick to what we know. Over the many months since I reaffirmed my faith there was one message that continued to show up in my reading, in our pastor’s sermons, and in conversations with friends and family. It is when I am comfortable that I stop growing and become complacent in my walk with Christ. That God did not intend for me to be comfortable in my faith, but to find comfort in Him. This was God’s way of telling me that I had gotten back to where I needed to be in my walk. Now it is time for me to push myself out of my comfort zone, take action, grow, and live my life for Him. I am ready start the next step.
My walk with him shifted from prayers for guidance to get back to where He needed me be in my faith to “Here I am send me!” It put to the test my renewed faith and my ability to trust in Him completely. When the World Race was put in front of me it was so in line with everything that He has been teaching me that I could not do anything, but listen and continue learning. Now here I am excited, nervous, impassioned, and so many other words to have been accepted to be a Racer this coming August!
So the answer to my question, What is my next? This is my Next. The amazing opportunity to step out in my faith and live out a wild relationship with Christ. A chance to challenge myself, step outside my comfort zone and push myself. The World Race! He has plans for me and I am so excited to find out where they will lead me next!
