Stepping out of what is comfortable is hard at times because you are going somewhere new. I don't know about you, but new is always hard for me no matter what. I am a creature of habit however, God is teaching me that habits are better left alone because once picked up, they are really hard to break, most of them are bad and a lot of times habits stand in the way of growth.
So maybe you know where God is leading you or maybe you are just following close and waiting. Either place you are can be exciting, new, scary and lonely. Sometimes, it is a virtually painless process and others, it seems, are all pain (growing pain). Sometimes comfortable is different and God provides an adjustment period to help us along and sometimes He calls us to just step out on faith.
It's funny, everyone can have an opinion and we so often forget that nothing matters but our kingdom view and where He is leading us. Our very own steps is all we can take or be responsible for, so those opinions are worthless and should be weightless too. I tend to get caught up in the weight of decisions and usually it's not my weight, it is what others think or what I think they might think... How wasteful of my time is that?
Anyway, stepping out in obedience is one of the most exhilarating moments in life because you are glorifying God by going just because He said so, without a reason or maybe without a place but, going to His glory and not ours... Anything suffered in the process I consider pure joy!
