Comfort Zones.

I feel like my mind is always running on warp speed. I rarely sit down just to listen. I have noticed a pattern that is forming. One that i'm not 100 % proud off. Instead of always reaching out, and or turning to my savior I just do it in a rush, at a time of need.

How much better what our weeks be if every morning started out with a plea to our father in heaven or even just a talk? Though, he isn't one to judge, he is one who will always be there. I often take that for granted. While sitting here at the end of this hard week I feel at a loss. I feel like i'm just at a stand still. I decided to take this time while my hubby is away to enjoy the silence, to take time to just listen.

While putting preparing my primary lesson I came across a quote that was much needed:
"Are we prepared to leave our comfort zone to reach a better place"- Elder Godoy.

How many things in our lives have become routine, merely because we don't want to get out of our comfort zone? How many of those things, though maybe good things are ruining even better things? With conference coming up I found this so fitting. The talks given aren't just for the fun of it, but are being shared because they are needed. Are we willing to heed the council and change things? Are we willing to step out of the comfort zone to allow something better to come along, to find a better place?

 I am not all knowing, but do truly believe this to be so important. I didn't realize how "comfortable" I was in my life until now, being newly married. There has to be so much give and take. As we have worked together, stepping out of our comfort zone its amazing the better things that have come. I know when we come to a point where options are given, satan isn't going to want us to change. He is going to tear us down. He wants us to stay comfortable. That's where he can get us. He wants us to believe we don't need to change for anyone. We become selfish. Completely engulfed in ourselves.

However, I do have a strong testimony when it comes to change. I know as we step out of our comfort zones our Father in Heaven's hand will be right there, leading us to something even greater. He literally takes us to a whole new place spiritually. I do believe change to be an amazing thing, because with it we grow. I challenge you all to look at your life and all the things you have become comfortable with. Are you willing to change them, to come to a better place? I am eternally grateful for Heavenly Parents who know so much more than I ever will. They know exactly what we need at any given time. Nothing just happens. There is a reason behind everything. When I left my comfort zone last year, I truly did reach a better place.

Start fresh this week. Take a step. I'm going too.

Love always,
