Good Morning...

Good morning.


This lovely tree lined street is one that I am blessed to be able to walk up and down most days.


I love it because it is kind of at the top of a hill


and I can feel the breeze a little on this street.


It is a quiet, beautiful morning.


Our days have been pretty crazy and it makes these quiet early mornings even more special.


I am pondering this statement this morning that I heard in Bible class last night.


Spiritual growth specializes in violating comfort zones.


When we get comfortable spiritually, are we in danger?


I think that satan loves for us to be comfortable.

I pray that today we will be uncomfortable.


I pray that we will seek Him with a thirsty heart.


Blessings. Amy

I have had a lot of thoughts on getting out of my comfort zone recently too. I often challenge my clients to get out of their comfort zones but I often forget to challenge myself spiritually. Love the trees too. Reminds me of where Joshua grew up!

Wow...that is a great statement. As Christians, I don't believe we should be "comfortable", we should always be striving to grow. That's great! Thanks for sharing.

Have a wonderful and blessed Resurrection Sunday!!!

Love the new blog look!

Remember: Your family probably does not care if your house looks like something out of Southern Living. They love the traditions and old ornaments and chipped Christmas mugs and plates.
