I will not stay in my comfort zone

I am attending the Daniel care group tonight.
Then, I will decide where to go.
I do love Judah.
But I do see the pointers of leaving Judah to join the Daniels.
I will not stay in my comfort zone.
27th Feb 2004

I was browsing through some old journal entries. I documented my first few days in Brisbane. My first few weeks.
I attended Judah 1. However, I remember Chia Yen suggesting that I should visit the Daniels in the city as my uni
campus was based in the city. I remember visiting Daniel 1 lifegroup, then I prayed over it with Edna, and we felt the peace to
change over to the 'other side'.

This move probably changed my life forever. I remember God challenging me not to stay among people who were more
similar to me, but to constantly challenge myself to push past my comfort zone in life.

My life has been characterized by these moves out of my comfort zone. From Malaysia to Adelaide. From Adelaide to
Brisbane. From Judah to Daniels. From Daniel 1 to Daniel 5. From Daniel 5 to Daniel X[focusing on GU rather than QUT].
From Daniel X to Eureka. Now from Australia into Taiwan and the unknown.

This move is one of the hardest I've made. I've agonized for about 1 year. I've lacked faith so many times. But I'm at a
place of relative peace. God is the Lion of Judah. He holds all authority in his hands. He is a God who has the best plans
for me. He is my shepherd, as he promised through prophetic words. I will endeavour to experience the joy amidst the
wracking sorrow of uprooting once again.

Thank heaven for the one who will never leave me nor forsake me.
