Comfort Zones & Ice Cream

God is gracious and doesn’t let us flounder in comfort…which is another way of saying we are living on the edge of our comfort zone. Philadelphia beckons us with friends to meet, another round of training to attend, churches to visit and God’s mysteries to discover. Some days we feel as though we are in the fast lane and ask ourselves, “What in the world are we doing?” At other times we feel as though we are in the slow lane and ask ourselves, “Will we ever get there?”

Lest I mislead you this is a positive thing in our lives. It has given us an opportunity to prove many Scriptures such as Psalm 33:20-21, “We wait in hope for the Lord; He is our help and our shield. In Him our hearts rejoice, for we trust in His holy name.”

Also I should tell you that another positive over the last year is the establishment of a new tradition in the Harer family. Christina declared on a trip recently that it is “tradition” to stop for ice cream when we travel. So as we head toward Philadelphia be assured that not only will our hearts be rejoicing but we will do so with ice cream in hand.
