I was talking with God about all the things I’m living in the last 6 months, when I look to the wall and he highlight a canvas in front of me with the following phase:

“Life begins at the end of your comfort zone!”

God is so supernatural, I’ve never realized that my feelings were really about the crossing of my comfort zone, simple and amazing, my eyes just open and I could understand some things.

First,  when I gave my yes to Jesus I knew that supernatural things will happen. The thing is that I never realize that it will be deeply uncomfortable. That’s so nice to think about our first steps of faith, but when we look to guys like the apostles Paul and Peter we just can see that as more deep you go, more intense will be your life. Can imagine how was to Peter cross the line of “his understanding”and step in to walk on the water with Jesus? I will never judge his faith, maybe I will be one of the 11 that remained on the boat.

After 27 years learning life, walking in the natural human ways, God asked me to quit my job, give all my money and everything that I have for live totally trusting in him. I need to say that at that moment I had the most nice job of my life, not just because my financial life was doing well, but also because my bosses where excelentes and people of character, the position was amazing and the ambient was really comfortable.

With that age the expectation is to be comfortable or close to that, find your way, build your cushy life in the most cozy place. But, with so much love Jesus asked me totally the opposite. He just invited me to walk on the waters. So, I quit my life, leave everyone that I love, all my friends, everything… For just one reason… I love Jesus more than I could explain and I was able to give everything to follow him.

After that I not even knew that the next 9 months will be most freaking crazy than that. I couldn’t work, as an international student (M1 USA Visa) you are not aloud to work, nor even “not official” jobs. I didn’t have any idea how it will be, for I really haven’t money or support for that.

Long story short, every month God send me money in different ways. But, was always through people. Some that I didn’t even know, others from family, some people of church.

That is just one of the challenging steps that I lived in this days (and still living this), besides that has so many things happening that is really stretching my faith and my view of God. Also, marry in 3 months is a choice really supernatural.

Than, in his sweet sweet voice, Jesus just said that live the supernatural is live outside of our “beliefs”, out of our comfort zone. Come on Jesus!!! He is the king of peace, and Holy Spirit is the most amazing teacher that I’ve ever had. That’s so true!

Remember when you are growing up? When our bones are growing it is painful, when our teeth are coming and going out, oh that’s really painful. Grow up is always so uncomfortable, but I nor even really remember all this pain anymore, I just now that it happens, for when is gone it is done!

What I want to say with this is… GO FOR IT!

Walk in the supernatural faith may looks like crazy for a lot of people, but when you live that information a wealthy way, really trusting and doing your best to partner with Holy Spirit, is really powerful.

Even though the journey is different for every one of us, so I don’t know what are you living right now, but I know that you can do it and will be powerful! I encourage you to when you receive the invitation from Jesus to walk on the waters with him, go because in the end of your comfort zone you can find real life!

I still trusting in God every day and some days are not easy, but when is not like I think that it will be so it’s time to look to him and say.. help!

The help always comes. He is the good father that will never give up on us!

With love,

Amanda!
