Moving out and away from your comfort zone

Can you imagine if God, one day told you, like how he told Abraham in Genesis 12, “Leave your country, your people, and your father’s household and go to the land I will show you…”

Sometimes I wonder if God were to tell me something similar, that I will be able to do the same. Leaving your comfort zone, going to uncharted waters, doing something that you’ve never done before…

Even as I ponder about this thought, it holds the same in many things that we do. Our apprehension when it comes to a new environment, undertaking a new ministry, starting a new relationship, all these, requires us to move away from our comfort zone, it requires us to embrace change and transformation. Sometimes, we just hold back when it comes to new things. Many times, we don’t adapt to changes around us, but we try to change our new environment to fit to our old system.

God has given us promise after promise in His Word, that He will always be with us. Sometimes, we forget that, and we tend to go back to the way of familiarity, to our comfort zone. What ever happened to the element of Faith?

What is God asking you today, to do something, something new, bold, creative, exciting? Or are we contented with what we have?

I figured I’d better put in an entry before I forget what happened in this part of my life. By the way, I woke up this morning, bathed, had my breakfast, came back to my table and thought to myself “since when did I put on my contact lenses? Or did I forget to take them off last night?”

So absent-minded. Gah!

This week has been “chiong AED105″ essay week. Most of which was contributed by JonWong. Hehe. At least now it’s 95% done! Just have to look through and make amendments here and there.

It is now the 10th week of school (if i’m not wrong), and I can’t believe in about about a month’s time, the first semester of my NIE life has been whoof-ed by. It hasn’t been all smooth-sailing but at least I enjoy what I do here. Assignments and essays are still ugh, but I do get a certain sense of satisfaction/achievement when its done. *thinking of my 2 music essays + AED102 essay makes me UGH now*

Met up with the 2 girls about a week back. One of the funnest meet-up I’ve had with them :)

See what I mean? :)

Anyway…Christmas is coming!!!! Hahaha. On one hand, I cant wait for it to come, on the other, I wonder what my plans for Christmas this year would be like. Doubt the parents will be around. IZ would probably have some church thing at NCC, Ele will be back but I’m pretty sure she’ll find her own things to do (?), so that’s left with Ivan and me. Hmm.

And finally! Year end holiday has been fixed..excitedddd! :)

Sorry Jon, our 12-12 has to be postponed :(
