Steppin' Out of the Comfort Zone

I was a backstage "roadie" during the elementary school talent show last night. Every few acts I went out on stage to place microphones, music stands and such. True to form, I was in and out of the spotlight as fast as humanly possible. I would dart out from behind the curtain, drop the mic somewhere near the mark, and scuttle back to our dimly lit control center.

My dear friend Barbara convinced me to step out from behind the curtain for more than 15 seconds and join her in singing a little ditty announcing intermission. I'll do just about anything for Barbara. She is incredibly creative. Her boundless enthusiasm is contagious.

Barbara epitomizes 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18, "Be joyful always; pray continually; give thanks in all circumstances for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus."

Thank you Barbara for bringing me out of the dark and into the light :).

How have you stepped out of your comfort zone lately?

I pray that the Lord fill you with His peace, joy, and strength today. XOX, Cheeky
