Have you ever wished you could crawl back into your mother's stomach? Lol! Well I know I do because sometimes it feels as if this life we are living is strictly for the birds! I haven't blogged much lately because I've been super busy, and that busyness comes strictly from "growth". What do you mean by "growth", Nina? Well I'm glad you asked......
Recently, I found myself being very complacent. I enjoyed where I was and became very comfortable doing what I was doing, thinking how I was thinking, and more....UNTIL.....God told me it was time to "GROW" some more! OUCH....is the only thing I could think of because I felt as if I wasn't ready or at least I needed a little more time to stay where I was. But the thing about God is that when he says its time to move, then its REALLY time to MOVE, so I was obedient.
Because I was obedient, I became very uncomfortable because I had to step outside of my "box". I had to do alot of things that I only dreamed of doing, be around people who I thought I'd never be around, and go places I never thought I'd go to (all in good taste though, lol). Within the blinking of an eye, things changed for me and I didn't have time to do the things I "used" to do.
In life, change is a GOOD thing, especially if you're doing so to better yourself & your surroundings. In order to be more productive, serve others, give more, learn more, etc., you have to GROW to that point. While you're growing, you may lose friends, you may risk being uncomfortable, you may be tired, weary, worn out, and more....BUT.....it is so worth it!
Sometimes I do so much to the point I become overwhelmed. Its like the last month or so of my life has completely changed for the better, but at the same time I found myself in a storm at which I've never experienced before. That storm truly humbled me and I know that God allowed me to be in it for a reason.God wants to take us all higher, and in order to do that we must experience some GROWING PAINS. While it may not necessarily feel good, at the end of the day, the pain we will endure is actually FOR OUR GOOD!
One thing I'm always reminded of is that GOD NEVER WASTES PAIN! In order to get to the promise, you must go through the process......and that's exactly what I'm doing. I know that it is/was nobody but God who has kept me through it all! Some days I almost want to pinch myself because it feels so surreal, lol. I have to go through what I'm going through in order to advance to the next level. In this season of my life, I want to learn what God is teaching me so that I may be productive and live according to how he wants me to live!
