Uncomfortable...

So from here on out...I am making some changes.  I have been so wrapped up in my plans to get "home" I have neglected to live life.  One thing that I am going to start doing is making myself uncomfortable.  Why you ask?  Because I have to do so in order to live my life according to God's purpose.  It is always said that following Christ can be uncomfortable and I have become too comfortable in my life.  I shy away from meeting new people...I am content to sit on the couch and do things alone.  I started this morning.  I asked God to reveal to me ways each day that I can put myself out there.  This morning I went to church (which is normal) I taught Sunday school (which is normal) but then I made it a point to make eye contact with people.  I made it a point to smile, say good morning, and use their names.  This may not sound like much to some, but for me...I was really putting myself out there.  I don't know what tomorrow will hold.  We will see.  Relationships have always been hard for me.  And I'm not sure why.  I recently read a book where it talks about "those" kind of people who expect everyone to reach out to them.  They never make the first phone call or text.  Well people, that's me.  So you can imagine moving to a new state where no one knew my name...was easy for me!  I didn't have to reach out to anyone...because I didn't know anyone.  This has got to change.  God wants us to have relationships with one another.  I am now going to every day...make myself uncomfortable.  Speak to someone, reach out to someone, they may need me as much as I need them.
