Being comfortably uncomfortable

Throughout my time here in Nicaragua I've had a continual feeling of being uncomfortable. I've been out of my comfort zone here, mentally and physically. Almost everything I'm use to back in the U.S., I don't have here. I've also stepped out of my comfort zone through some ministry and done things that typically intimidate me. 

It wasn't until recently, I had a little bit of a break through. I am suppose to be uncomfortable. God called me out of my comfort of my own home this summer to come to Nicaragua and be in HIS comfort. This trip isn't about me or if I'm missing my normal routine of home it's about spreading God's love. 

I now realize how God wants me to be uncomfortable because that is how I am going to grow even stronger in Him. In reality, God's plan for me here is so much bigger than my extreme dislike of rice/beans or the 98 mosquito bites on my body that constantly itch.

Since we've been here, there have been a lot of uncertainties and last minute changes which is easy to let frustrate you. God has been giving me contentment in the unknown. I know that whatever I'm doing now or two weeks from now God has it planned and I just have to follow. 

"Trust in the LORD with all your heart, And do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He will make your paths straight". Proverbs 3:5-6
