Breaking the Chains of Comfort

-

Hello everyone and welcome back!  I do apologize it's been quite some time since I've been active in blogging, some of my readers have been asking me to get back to blogging. Yes, I did digress from my routine blogging because I am always trying to learn something new and then sometimes life gets in the way as we know things happen. I am excited about writing this one. So let's get started, are you afraid of getting out of your comfort zone. The first step in breaking out of your zone is to do it. Author Roy T. Bennett shares the quote "the comfort zone is the psychological state in which one feels familiar, safe, calm and secure. You never change your life until you step out of your comfort zone; change begins at your comfort zone." With that being said its time to escape your comfort zone, no one likes to move beyond their comfort zone. Comfort zones can prevent us from reaching our full potential. It's always good to get out of our comfort zone, to grow, to change and expand our horizon.  And yes, I know it's not easy and can be uncomfortable, but we never know unless we step outside of our comfortable. If you stay in your comfort zone you will keep getting the things you have always gotten. Trust me I struggle with it as well. Say out loud, Yesssssss, I am stepping out of my comfort zone.


The Leap of Faith


The late professor Albert Einstein's famous quote says "Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again, but expecting different results. Challenge yourself and take the challenge if it's going to be beneficial for your growth, challenges can be faith-building experiences. Remember, it's all about growth as an individual. It's okay to experience something new or different, don't limit yourself or allow fear to paralyze or hold you back. This is your chance to get genuine with yourself. God has not given us the spirit of fear, but of love and a sound mind (2 Timothy 1:7). Find your potential by saying "YES" to what God has planned next in your life. "You would be amazed if you could see your God-given potential", according to author Farshad Asl. There is no limit to your potential. You have nothing to lose and everything to gain. God has something greater than you and I ever imagined ready for us. As stated, When someone has been given much, much will be required in return; and when someone has been entrusted with much, even more will be required (Luke 12:48 NLT).

Would it be Faith or Fear?



I have experienced both ends of the spectrum, and when this happens with fear I begin to pray, and God brings victory and causes me to triumph in this area. Consequently, faith triumphs over fear. The bible tells us in Hebrew 11: 6 it is impossible to please Him without faith. Step out in faith and rise above what's holding you back. We must overcome and slay the giants as David did, don't run from your giants, be like David (I Samuel 17) and turn over them to God and let Him overcome them. Your greatest fear can become your greatest blessing. Just say Yes to God, to yourself, and to new opportunites. Whatever your comfort zone may be, personal, spiritual or working life I am proud of you, you are breaking the chains of comfort! You are saying yes to a new you!!!

    So true. The comfort of the same old routine does not allow choices to enter the thoughts of change. Its so easy to remain complacent with the familiar. Change is indeed a choice. I like the Yes picture!!! Changes in relationships, jobs, housing all can involve a bit of fear. Yes, is a good start:).

God is the Architect

Hello Beloveds, I know it has been a while since I have written a post, I've been on a sort of blog-hiatus. I've been spending time soul searching, reflecting, and in hope and eager expectation of rebuilding my new endeavors from the last chapter to my next one. After brainstorming, I had to prioritize my life-values goals and assess my life's purpose. Regardless of who or where you are one must prioritize discovering their purpose in life. Psalm 57:2 (AMP) says, I cry out to God Most High, who accomplishes all things on my behalf for He completes my purposes. We must trust God's divine plan and let Him be our guide knowing God is the Chief Architect and Master Builder of everything. God will take us through construction sites to shape us for His purposes. God sees the big picture. He knows the plans that He has for us, He has a specific plan for each one of us. God’s plan for our life must be consulted with the chief architect, God Himself; the designer, and

Today's Reflection-Wounds of Gossip

Once upon a time, an old man spread rumors that his neighbor was a thief. As a result, the young man was arrested and put behind bars for no fault of his own. Days later, the poor man was proven innocent. After being released, he sued the old man for wrongly accusing him.  In court, the old man told the judge, ‘ They were just random comments, they did not harm anyone.’ The judge, before passing sentence on the case, told the old man,  ‘write all the bad things you said about him on a piece of paper. Cut it up into little pieces and on the way home, throw the pieces of paper out of your car window. Tomorrow, you come back to hear the sentence.’   The next day, the judge told the old man,  ‘Before receiving the sentence, I want you to go out and gather up all the pieces of paper that you threw out of your car window yesterday.  The old man said,  ‘I cannot do that. The wind spread them all over the place and I will not know where to find them . "Then the judge replied,  ‘The s

Psalms 91:1-4 He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. 2 I will say of the Lord, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust. 3 Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence. 4 He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth shall be thy shield and buckler. Always pack your umbrella. Umbrellas can provide coverage and protection from the sun, the wind, the rain and anything that fall on you. It could be a sudden shower or downpour accompanied by hail or wind, notice there are many types of umbrellas to suit your rain needs and climate. Whatever type of umbrella you utilize to accommodate your need, it does not stop the rain from falling however it will offer you the coverage you require. Choose to be under God's umbrella of protection and He will cover you with His feathers and under His wings you may s
