In the past couple of months I have went beyond my comfort zone but I felt it was God directed and has put me on a path which hopefully will improve my health and place me to do more of God's work. Dropped by from 5minute Friday.

The difference this time is that I can't go back to that place. I must either move forward through the pain with Him, or stand still and wallow in it. So I'm going forward. And I know that He will redeem the brokenness.

Maybe God chooses to stretch us more than "melt" us. <br /><br />I do believe He is all about getting us out of our comfort zones.
