Out of our Comfort Zone

"…whenever you face trials of any kind, consider it nothing but joy, because you know that the testing of your faith produces endurance; and let endurance have its full effect, so that you may be mature….." (James 1:2-4) - we tend to gravitate to what is comfortable, easy, feels good…..and this leads to increasing weakness..the circle grows tighter around us until we are sitting in the chair of life looking out and feeling sorry for ourselves because we cannot get out and "play" / do things we want to do. Another  option is to face into the discomfort, the sore muscles, the inconvenience, the fear and give all our strength, will power to get going doing what we can…the result is we grow stronger, we find ourselves feeling better, attitude gets healthier, and we are back out in the sunshine of life having a great time…..
