Uncomfortable
I am a stone
Stuck here in the ground
Holding onto nothing
Why
Is comfortable uncomfortable right now?

Ever stop to think about why you do what you do? If you did, the easy answer would probably be “because that’s how I’ve always done it, and it works for me.” That’s 99% of life in a nutshell. Going about your day to day business, be it work or taking care of the kids or doing the chores or getting together with your buddies. We do it because it’s comfortable.
Comfortable is nice because it’s generally risk free. I like comfortable. In western civilization, we build things around comfort and convenience. It’s what we strive for. But what do you do when you find out it’s not enough? Over the past year, Christine and I have both felt a sense of discomfort in what is really a blessed life. We have 3 amazing boys that we think the world of. We have great friends and a great church community. Business has been really good over the past year. But in the midst of living day to day, trying to make a living and take care of a family, something got lost.
When we first started feeling this way a year ago, we figured it’s just a rut and we’ll eventually come out of it. Everyone experiences that, right? But as time went on, we both felt it was about something more. It was about experiencing life to the fullest. It was about not just making it through every day, but LIVING every day. Unfortunately, status quo was a lot easier than the alternative, which would require change in some way. So in the midst of our comfortable life, we both felt uncomfortable.
But what could we do to change that?
