The Comfort Zone

I bet your wondering about the name of our blog.  As I (Debbie) was thinking about writing our Christmas letter this year, I was thinking about all the things Joe and I have been through in our years of marriage.  I remember telling Joe that God has pulled us outside our "comfort zone" for so long that being outside the "comfort zone" IS the true comfort zone.  When we are in His will in our lives (even though many times it doesn't make any sense), only then do we truly feel comfort in our lives.  In my times of trying to pull away or most often do things my way, I do not sense the same comfort in my life from Him.  Yes, sometimes it may be more physically comfortable but in reality I don't have that stream of living water flowing in my life quenching my thirst.  Is God tugging you out of your "comfort zone"?  Right now--we have been tugged into international adoption and all that it involves, but we are not all tugged and called in the same ways.  God has a perfect plan and we can't wait to see His perfect plan come together!
