Comfortable? Or Growing?

I have a word to share today. Perhaps I'm the only one who needs this reminder - but I'm going to say it anyway. Life is NOT about being comfortable.  As I approach 48 years of living on this earth, I realize that - for most of that time - I have been seeking comfort. For as long as I can remember, "being comfortable" was my safe space. It meant I knew what was expected of me. I was familiar with my daily routine/surroundings/people. It meant I could just live life on cruise control and get through my day. And "my comfort zone" was something I sought after in every possible facet of my life. Like - living in the comfort zone was my end all, be all of a successful day.  But that's completely false. Have you heard this saying: You can either be comfortable or you can be growing. But you can't be both. Yep. Read that again.  In other words, you can be growing into more of the person God wants you to be. Or you can be comfortable.
