I think those of us that are introverts spend half of our lives trying to be something or somebody we are not. When I finally realized if God had wanted me to be an extravert He would have made me that way. He is the great designer isn't He!!!! So I am a happy introvert! Great Post!

I find, for myself, that since I'm not outspoken and more introverted, I feel as though I'm not a good leader either. But, maybe I need to let God do the speaking for me - like you mention He did with moses. I also have to let go of my "fear of failure" as well, because that is definitely not pleasing to God, nor does it allow me to be used. Great post, and so true.

It seems as though everything we SHOULD be doing, goes against what is comfortable.. i guess if it came naturally though, it wouldn't mean much would it?? Ironic?

If i had to pick one reason to appreciate God it would be for the people that He intentionally puts in your life to teach you things. i.e. you and this. "Many times we pray for things that we see as right or justified and in the end wonder what happened, but when we surrender to a daily, constant trust in God, the job gets done because it is the job God ha given to us, not what we have given to God." Thanks man This is great. If i had to pick one reason to appreciate God it would be for the people that He intentionally puts in your life to teach you things. i.e. you and this.
