I didn’t fully understand the meaning of a comfort zone, until I stepped out of mine. Your comfort zone is your place where you have all of your friends, your normal way of life, a place where you can predict what is going to happen, where you know what you have to do, and you know how to do it.
I recently got to a point where I was comfortable with God. I was comfortable with what I knew about Him and I was comfortable with His plan for me. Then I got to Lausanne and realized God doesn’t want me to be comfortable with Him, He wants me to trust Him. There isn’t a necessity of trust when you are comfortable with you being able to take care of everything. You being able to work stuff out. You being able to understand the situation.
God wants us in the place where we are having to be totally reliant on Him to meet our every need, where we trust Him rather than trusting ourselves. I want to reach the place where I can be out of my comfort zone, yet still be comfortable not in my surroundings, but in Him.
Amidst the beauty of the Swiss mountaintops and crystal clear lakes and the beautiful fields of flowers, I am striving for comfort, but not from my surroundings, I’m striving for God’s comfort which comes from totally entrusting myself to Him.
Please be praying for me to learn what God has for me to learn, and for the group to grow together easily. Also I still am without my main bag, so I'm living off of what other DTS students have left behind :), so please be praying for that to be brought quickly.
