uncomfortable


I'm trying to get more comfortable with being uncomfortable. I would never change the status quo of the bad things I'm comfortable with otherwise. Right now I'm comfortable dating someone I won't marry. I'm comfortable with the accumulation of minor disrepairs in my house that I can pretend not see so I don't have to find or trust a subcontractor. I feel good about lifting the amount of weight at the gym that doesn't make my arms shake or my face contort.

Unfortunately, the Pharaoh has spoken and the comfortable is now verified as wrong and dead-ending. I have to Let My People Go into desert territory feeling unsure of my livelihood. Like a good Israelite I'm doubtful and imagining myself suffering and poverty-stricken. On betters days I see myself as the main character in Christy heading into an unknown I'm meant for.
