30 Days of Thankfulness, Day 23

November 23, 2010 - I'm thankful that God grows us in unexpected ways. I had to be confrontational at work today. If you know me at all, you know that I HATE confrontation!!!! I even avoid good confrontation sometimes. Its pretty pathetic, actually. Anyway---it wasn't something I was looking forward to doing, but it was something I knew I had to do. I completely had to rely on God to get me through it and have the right words to say...and get them across in a loving way. The outcome didn't change, but I still over-came a fear and stood up for myself and I'm proud of that. I'm so thankful that God doesn't leave us where we are...comfortable, stagnant, and un-changing. As much as change can hurt, I know we need it.
