Alright, let's be honest. I once was called a flaming extrovert (thank you Flash). Funny how some things just stick with you in the back of your mind. Well, I am here today to say, "I acquiese"; it is true. I am proudly stepping into the title. I am owning up to this side of my personality. I am saying thank you Jesus for creating me with this gift. I am a "flaming extrovert" and proud of it!
Why now? What is bringing this out on a Sunday afternoon. Well, the current lightbulb moment started at a professional conference a couple weeks ago. After loosing mis amigas multiple times due to my stopping at this booth to chat, that poster to inquire, the info booth to strike up a convo about the weather comparing dry heat to moist heat, and introducing myself to a leader in the field to ask her for any ideas or contributions about my professional development project, yeah, about that time I was exhausted number one. Number two, I realized, "I am my father's daughter." And number three I loved it.
I thank Jesus for the opportunities he has afforded me to reach out. Learn from others, learn about others, and be a listening, chatty, and sometimes rediculous ear. And I was gonna link it to espanol and my new favorite church with lovely beautiful good people who share my gift of reaching out and accept me despite my less than perfect espanol speaking....but i think we are going to go to the dollar theatre for an afternoon flick...yes, time to get out of this room. I spent my hermit mode night last night, I will not do it again. After all I am an extrovert:)
