Steppin' Out

A few weeks ago, I began posting some personal thoughts on my Facebook page.  Just random thoughts that have been going thru my head. I am not sure what I was thinking when I began this process. I am not a writer. So anything you choose to read from me may be pretty raw and sometimes hard to follow. But I am writing from my heart. I am sharing my thoughts. It's my therapy!
I am stepping out of my box...my comfort zone...my tiny secure place. I am not sure what God has planned for this...for me. But I am ready, oh so ready to hear what He is going to do and how He is gonna use me!  
So where is your comfort zone?  What have you allowed yourself to be boxed into?  For years I never thought that God could really use me...that I wasn't as good as many of the people in my circle and outside my circle. I have been very hard on myself...very judgmental...very insecure. Now if you are in my circle, you probably didn't know this about me. I mean it took me years before I thought I was good enough to pray out loud!  I am not good enough...but I am brave...all the little (and big) areas of my life, I am finally handing them over to my Lord...I have been taking baby steps for so long that He finally made it clear that it was time to up take that big step and let Him...just let Him. 
So as uncomfortable as I am going to allow myself to be, I know that He will not give me more than I can handle.  He will not leave me.  He won't push me back into that box I spent years creating for myself.
I hope you will want to walk this path with me...the stepping stones will lead to a place that is unknown...but it will be a safe place...a good place...a place to laugh...cry...agree...disagree...a path that leads to change...a refinement process.
