Stepping out of your Comfort Zone

Comfort Zone:
Part of Speech: noun
Definition: an environment or situation in which a person feels secure or at ease; also figuratively, an established lifestyle in which a person feels comfortable as long as there is no drastic change

Due to events occurring in the last 2 weeks i feel that the Lord has been pulling me out of my comfort zone. I have been praying a lot lately, thinking a lot lately and asking Him for advice. Every time His answer always results in me doing something bold- or what is bold in my opinion. When being faced with a choice He leads me to the choice that may bring more joy to myself, others, and/or bring more glory to Him. And i honestly try to respond in the way that puts me in His Will. However that option is not always a choice i would choose if i were to remain in my comfort zone. But i find my self happier when choosing the BOLDER choice.

Most of us, as humans grow within our comfort zones. In that zone is where we develop into unique, different individuals. And as humans i believe that we are being called to step out of our comfort zones to: help others, meet and connect with new people, and to praise God.

Smiles For You!

For those of you who are going through rough times, here are some smiles to brighten your day!

Hey there, Neighbor!

Look at how cute they look? No they aren't being adopted as siblings but as neighbors, but they are still loving on each other. I have seen the siblings at the O act like this, but not neighbors. Well... maybe thats just me who hasn't really seen it. But it still made me smile to see Noah & Ellie like this!

"Walk By Faith"

"Will I believe You when You say Your hand will guide my every way? Will I receive the words You say every moment of every day? Well, I will walk by faith even when I cannot see because, this broken road prepares Your will for me. Help me to rid my endless fears because, You've been so faithful for all my years. With the one breath You make me new. Your grace covers all I do. I'm broken but, I still see Your face. You've spoken pouring Your words of grace. Hallelujah!"
-Jeremy Camp

Live by Faith & God's will & what He says. Not by what is happening or what you see around you. Honestly, i think people would live a better life if everyone was blind! =-D

Spreading the Love for Hairwraps!

~I like them better on the little girls! But they're fun!~

I told Mia she looked like a little Haitian girl so she has been skipping around the house singing:

"I'm a little Haitian Girl,

Haitian Girl,

Haitian Girl,

I'm a little Haitian Girl,

So far away from Haiti!"

I Love you, Krotzers

Please pray for them all!
