I Just Want To Sit on The Couch in My Comfort Zone of REST

We all have a place of comfort. A comfort zone so to speak.
There’s nothing wrong with being comfortable. However, when we step into the place and space of a comfort zone, we are entering a realm that involves limits. Growth and comfort cannot coexist.
A limited worldview. A limited mindset.

Limitations emotionally, mentally, spiritually, physically, intellectually, socially, relationally, and financially.


In order to be stretched, we have to come out of the comfort zone. When we cross the threshold of the comfort zone, we enter the land of stretching, growing, healing, wholeness, and curiosity as to what our future could possibly look like and more.


When we stay in the comfort zone, we only heal to the point where it hurts, but not too much. The relationship is toxic, but not toxic enough for us to get out and deal with the pain of disentanglement. We tread the threshold of seeing the Promised Land, but desiring slavery because of the work.

Where are some areas in which you can push past the comfort zone and heal?

Yesterday’s podcast episode left off with LaTrae Wilson contemplating leaving the faith. Today, we find out what happened. When it comes to creating an empowered new chapter of life, we often see the promise that Jesus made to us about abundant living, but we think of it as him doing everything, and us sitting back and relaxing, with our feet propped up on the coffee table, as we say, “Ok Jesus, whenever, you are ready to heal me.” Then, Jesus is looking back at us, and going, “Ok, whenever you are ready, we can do this thing together.”

Creating an empowered new chapter of life requires perspective. Healing from past hurts brings resilience and perspective.

We want to be the director of our new chapters without the participation part. However, that’s not how healing works. And in today’s podcast episode, LaTrae helps us to see just that: healing is a choice. Most women in difficult relationships struggle to make empowered choices. And part of that choice is whether we will be an active participant in our new chapter, or if we will continue to sit on the mat, and come up with excuses. One of my favorite quotes that LaTrae mentioned in this segment has to do with CHOICE: “Choosing God over foolishness. Choosing God over Failed Relationships.”

Be blessed as you listen in.
