I remember staying up into the wee hours of the night attempting
to pack those last few boxes. It was the middle of summer and moving day was a
scorcher.
We were only moving fifteen miles away, but it was a lot more work than I had anticipated. That was over thirteen years ago.

This week I’m in the final stages of moving to my new
cyberhome. It’s just a hop, skip, and a jump across the blogosphere, but this
move has also required a lot of work.
When I began the process several months ago, I really didn’t know what kind of design or layout I was after. I only knew it was time to migrate from a blog to a full-fledged website.

In a small way I can relate to the patriarch, Abraham, who
was issued a challenge by God: “Get thee out of thy country, and from thy
kindred, and from thy father’s house, unto a land that I will shew thee,”
(Genesis 12:1; KJV).
What a tough assignment! To leave everything you’re familiar with and begin walking toward an unfamiliar destination.
Blogging for over three years at the same address has caused me to become comfortable. For a while now, I've felt the need to step out of my comfort zone and take steps into the slightly scary, unfamiliar territory of a new domain.

I have to be honest – the work has paled in comparison to
the excitement of welcoming you to my new address!
I’m tidying everything up this week, in anticipation of your
visit. I’ll be serving up new blog posts and plenty of nooks and crannies for
your exploration.
You’re Invited

Is there an area of your life where you've gotten too comfortable? Is God challenging you to take a step toward the intimidating unknown? Will you respond in faith today?
Prayer: Heavenly Father, thank You for challenging me to step out in faith and trust You with the direction of my life. I know it won't always be easy, but I desire to grow. Help me to take the next step today. Thank You for the promise that You'll always be with me. In Jesus' name, Amen.

Congratulations for persevering! I'm actually trying to find what makes me comfortable--not in a lazy "I'm so cool" way but in an honest "who am I and what am I here for way"...I'm glad you found your way!
ReplyDeleteGreat to see you Cheryl! Thanks so much for you well-wishes. Glad to hear you're exploring what God would have you do. Jan Johnson has a great book called Living a Purpose-Full Life that I found to be excellent. It may be helpful to you! God bless~

ReplyDeleteThanks Loree! I look forward to having you over. Can't wait to see you there! Have a blessed week!
DeleteAwesome Maria! I can't wait to see it.
ReplyDeleteI can so relate to stepping into the scary unknown. I too am leaving the familiar to go into the unfamiliar like Abraham.
What gives me confidence is knowing the same God who led Abraham is leading me.
I'm so proud of you for stepping up to the next level. I pray blessing on your new cyber home. :-)
Thank you SO much for always being such an encouragement Sharon! I've really enjoyed getting to know you and being able to pray for you as you continue taking steps into the unfamiliar! God bless you my friend!
DeleteCongratulations Maria! I'm excited to see what's in store for you. Divinely ordered, of course. :)

ReplyDeleteDid you realize there's a 12 word phrase you can tell your crush... that will induce deep emotions of love and instinctual appeal to you buried inside his heart?
ReplyDeleteThat's because deep inside these 12 words is a "secret signal" that fuels a man's instinct to love, treasure and protect you with all his heart...
12 Words Who Trigger A Man's Desire Impulse
This instinct is so built-in to a man's genetics that it will make him work better than before to take care of you.
Matter-of-fact, triggering this influential instinct is absolutely mandatory to having the best possible relationship with your man that as soon as you send your man one of the "Secret Signals"...
...You'll soon find him open his heart and mind for you in a way he's never experienced before and he'll recognize you as the only woman in the galaxy who has ever truly interested him.
