(what i learned) belief in God is not meant to keep us comfortable

As we embrace the warmth of these summer months, I decided to share with you what I learned this Spring. I adopted this idea to do some serious introspection and soul-inventory from my favorite author, Emily P. Freeman, and share my lessons in hopes you will join me too!
This one is an odd one as I’m getting extremely personal.
I’m not sharing a list of things I learned, rather a spiritual lesson I am currently processing.
Belief is fundamental to our Christian faith, but help me as I explore what it means to believe in the absence of evidence and spiritual comfort.
“Absence of Evidence IS NOT Evidence of Absence.”

the comfort zone

We’ve all been there. The dreadful and the unavoidable: the comfort zone! It’s so easy to keep visiting the zone rather than seeking true comfort where we all know where to find it. The truth is, this “comfort” zone isn’t what it promises, it’s not comfortable! We may escape the reality and the stress that life may bring from time to time by doing activities that are considered “stress free,” but our minds will not find it restful, but restless.
