This morning at church we had a guest speaker. He is the pastor at another church, and was a mentor to our pastor when he started our church twenty years ago. He was talking about the growing of a church, and the growth of an individuals own spirituality. I can't remember what he said word for word, but his message has stayed with me through the day: You can't get too comfortable. You have to be willing to grow and change.
I had a week that took me out of my comfort zone, and my go-to safe place that I have had in the past has changed. My comfort is not gone, however. God moved it. He has a way of moving the things and the people in our lives that we put too much comfort in, that do not point in the direction we are suppose to be going. He wants us to put our comfort in Him. He wants to be our safe place. Sometimes, He has a way of changing the places and the people in our lives, so that we can see Him more clearly. And, I do.
Speaking of comfort, we have been getting very cozy around here. It's officially fall! Comfort foods and candles and knitted tights galore!
Saturday, we planted our fall flowers and enjoyed a perfect day outside.
Today, we had a beautiful day in Paola with my brothers family. We celebrated my sweet nephews 10th birthday, and enjoyed a family walk.
Happy fall everyone! Have a great week!
