Comfort Zone

We are creatures of comfort.  We like what we like.  And while a short adventure might be fun, there's no place like home...our best comfort zone.

I was thinking about comfort zones the other day and in my head I got a picture of a nice room with a window and a door.  Some comfy furniture scattered about.  A bookcase and a plant.  A nice lamp.  It really is a very nice room.  And pretty much describes my best comfortable spot.

But as nice as this room is, there are bars on the door and window.  It is so comfortable and I almost never leave - it has become a prison.

What opportunities and adventures am I missing by my self confinement?  What blessings have I passed on because it takes me out of my comfy room?

Rend Collective - My Lighthouse

A good friend sent this song to me.  I had heard the song on the radio quite a bit and liked the beat, but hadn't really listened to the word like a lot of us.

In my wrestling and in my doubts
In my failures You won't walk out
Your great love will lead me through
You are the peace in my troubled sea
You are the peace in my troubled sea

In the silence, You won't let go
In my questions, Your truth will hold
Your great love will lead me through
You are the peace in my troubled sea
You are the peace in my troubled sea

My Lighthouse, my lighthouse
Shining in the darkness, I will follow You
My Lighthouse, my Lighthouse
I will trust the promise,
You will carry me safe to shore (Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
Safe to shore (Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
Safe to shore (Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
Safe to shore

I won't fear what tomorrow brings
With each morning I'll rise and sing
My God's love will lead me through
You are the peace in my troubled sea
You are the peace in my troubled sea

Fire before us, You're the brightest
You will lead us through the storms
