" Growth means change and change involves risk, stepping from the known to the unknown" Author unknown
Life is about change - whether it is personal growth, spiritual growth, mental growth - we all grow in our ways in our own time. We may go from long hair to short hair, from eating bad to eating right, to having little faith to having extreme faith. Growth is scary - you are use to your norm of your life.
For instance my sister and I were talking last week about our faith and how we want to get more out of our faith. We go to the Catholic church because that is all we know, that is how we were brought up. but what about the non-denomination churches, the Baptist Churches, the Pentacostal churches - we all believe in God, we all want to do right in the world and treat others kindly so why isn't it okay or why is it frowned upon if you check out other churches.
I have nothing against the Catholic faith - but there are questions just like if I was brought up as a Baptist I am sure there would be questions. I just think I am growing in my faith and stepping out of the "norm" is scary thing -I think your spiritual growth is even scarier - at least for me. At least if I decided to cut my hair short, which I did last night :), it will grow back LOL......
But aren't we suppose to challenge our norm - our we not suppose to grow and change as humans?
