Too Comfortable

I was talking to an old friend last night and I came to a sort of realization. This friend use to be like my right-hand-woman but unfortunately some events have transpired and for what ever reasons (some unbeknownst to me), we are not each others confidante anymore. Anyway, while I was catching up with her, I confessed to her how much I missed her and how she was the only person who 'got' me. We were like two peas in a pod. She mentioned how at one point in time we were 'it' for each other. It as in a best friend, counselor, road dawg, shopping partner, adviser, everything. And now we aren't. Since, we have exited each others' life, I have had to find all those roles in different people. In people, who have always been in my life but I took for granted. I had to learn to reach out to people and be open and honest with them about myself. Though, this journey has been difficult it has been rewarding because I have been able to see that there are other people who 'get' me. It makes my heart smile.
I find myself having to push myself to continually step out on faith and it gets uncomfortable. Very uncomfortable. Not the uncomfortable where I shouldn't be doing it but the uncomfortable where I need to do this even if I don't want to. I am finding myself more and more each day. I thought for the longest I knew who I was and I was only half way there. I only knew who I was when I was with my friend. I didn't know who I was without her. I had become too comfortable in that position. So when it was no longer me and her, but just me, I was lost and uncomfortable as hell.
When you normally leave your comfort zone, your instinct is to retreat back to what you know. Well, I couldn't because my comfort was stripped away from me. Life is still a little uncomfortable but I consider myself more equipped to handle it now. When God is working in your life, sometimes it will get extremely uncomfortable but that doesn't mean you should stop. It just means you should push harder because you are close to your breakthrough. So, don't ever get too comfortable because you never know when your entire world as you know it will change.
