Out of Your Comfort Zone: By Beverly Weeks

Is God calling YOU out of the comfortable?

 A year ago today, a ride on an F-15E Strike Eagle impacted and changed my life forever. I can’t describe the feeling of being in the clouds. We flew to Myrtle Beach, South Carolina and then I asked my pilot if we could fly over our city so that I could pray specifically for Goldsboro. I knew that God was preparing my heart to run for city council and yet I needed to face the fears of the what-ifs, unknowns, and challenges that come with serving. 

You see when God calls you, He often takes you out of your comfort zone to do it! 

Because of fear, insecurities, and the negative brain bullies in my head, it’s hard to believe I almost declined this ride. If I had said “NO”, I often wonder what else I would have missed out on. 

Thank you Seymour Johnson AFB Lancers for this incredible opportunity. There were turns, maneuvers, tears, and lots of G-Force. We broke the sound barrier, went upside down, and YES, I did pass out, throw up and it was absolutely incredible! 

I have so much respect and honor for the great men and women who serve our country! 

What is God calling you to do? 

It’s up to us to PRESS into our fear and when we do God promises He’ll be there. God doesn’t always call the qualified, but He will qualify the called. 

Love y’all!    Beverly
