When I went through life coach training, we talked a lot about our comfort zone. It is my safe place. Everything is known. I can maintain the illusion of control and pretend that everything is fantastic.
In reality, my comfort zone is cramped and stagnant. The air is still and it is hard to breathe. The thought of leaving my comfort zone is still terrifying. What is out there? Is it safe? Will I get hurt? Will I fail? Every fear that I have ever experienced all comes rushing out of me in a single thought – and I am faced with a decision. Will I let my feelings determine my reality?
Over the past few years with the help of my hubby and my friends, my comfort zone has been torn down little by little. Some of the destruction of the “safety shrine” I created in my mind was easy to give up while other areas were more of a struggle. There has been a ton of change in the past year, and tonight is my last night to go to bed with my comfort zone fully intact.
It is time to fully step into the new unknown. My heart is pounding. My hands are shaking. My eyes are watering. And some where deep inside, I know my safety net is God alone. I can stand on His truth and His promises. His Grace is Sufficient!
