I didn’t realize how comfortable I had became being solo, on my own, traveling around. Now I find myself feeling uncomfortable, having people around, connections, learning to trust, I had no idea how uncomfortable it would actually be.

Guess what? Being comfortable is the opposite of growing, we grow far more in discomfort than we do when we’re comfortable. So here I am walking forward in this feeling of the unknown, discomfort, I know this is God’s plan even when I don’t understand.

Taking steps in spite of the fear, because that’s how growth happens. Facing my fears, learning to live with the discomfort, because I know I will come out the other side with new perceptions, understandings of myself.

That’s also how faith in God grows, trusting that he knows the why, and to step forward even when it feels like darkness. The light will shine, the way will appear under my feet as I step. The challenge of trusting after so much betrayal in my past, but I don’t live in the past, the present is where life is lived!

So I am challenging me to trust, allow, connect, and give God my faith that he knows best, even when it’s hard to see it for myself.
