Sometimes I can be kind of a loner. Sometimes I am content to just sit in my dorm room by myself watching TV or reading ... Is that so wrong? I know I want to get involved in some kind of ministry here in order to build some strong relationships, but that is a bit of daunting task. I try to set small goals for myself (go to church, go to Bible study, go out with this group & meet new people, etc.), but my brain never really lets me get away from the "you MUST make new strong friendships" mentality. And that is hard for me. I consider myself an outgoing person, but at the same time, sometimes so many new people is a little overwhelming, especially when some are much more outgoing than me. "Ms. Friendly" in high school - this should be easy right?
OKAY ........... breathe.
This is just one of the many new experiences I am going to have here; I have to remember that. This is out of my comfort zone, but that is what I wanted and it's what God has given me. He's not throwing something new and unfamiliar at me only to watch me fail. He is right here with me every step of the way. He is more important than anything else - what other people think of me, grades, family, what other people think of me ... God is bigger.
