Q: What am I going to purposefully abandon that makes me feel secure in order to grow through discomfort?
A: So, all my life, I’ve hated leaving my comfort zone. Some people thrive on that but not me. I used to be the biggest introvert, but over the last year or two I’ve grown so much! Applying for the WR was actually really hard for me. I knew I wanted to do it for two years but when it came time to go for it I almost didn’t. That comfort zone thing held me back. I didn’t want to leave my little part of the world and go with people I’d never met before. But ultimately, I know that God is going to make it the best thing ever.
So, I guess the answer is that I’m going to abandon my comfort zone and let God lead the way to the most fulfilling life that I could never achieve on my own.
Thank you for sharing! I’m so excited and proud of you sis!
