Out of your comfort zone

During spring break, I went skiing.  The sport of skiing is fun and safe if you are safe however, this year, the resort had ramps/jumps.  I could have played it safe and just ski on the green and blue runs but I was challenged to get out of my comfort zone.  Yes, I wiped out the first time but I continued until I was able to land all the jumps.  I think God asks us to get out of our comfort zone when it comes to exercise.  It is easy to go home, get comfortable and sit in front of the television or sit on the stands and watch child in sport or drive to the store and park as close as you can to the store so you don’t have to walk.  All are choices we make – they are comfortable and easy.  It takes effort to move and get out of comfort and move for God.  For example, we want to stay in bed instead of the effort of getting up, stretching and praying to God so we are prepared for God’s work.  God wants us to use every piece of our life to serve.  You have enemy (humanity) on the out, and goodness (spirituality) on the inside so you have to work on the inside.  Let God inhabit your life.  Listen and go as you know what you should do.  When faced with a decision to sit or move...choose to move for God.

Live a life of no regrets,
Athena
