wonderful world

Being
an introvert has made certain parts of being a minister difficult.
After all being in ministry does require being around people. I have
learned to be more outgoing and I do enjoy many social activities.
But I also know that I need ‘down’ time away from it all. In this
part of the world I do a lot of bike riding and it has brought a
refreshment to my soul. But the biggest help along this line is that
God has let me see myself for who I am. I am not one who can be on
the go all the time. So, I pace myself. I am not one to give in to
every happening that comes down my path. I have learned to wait and
see on some issues. I have also learned that I do not speak out all
the time. I can be quiet and learn by listening.

Knowing
myself has been a life long journey and it is not over yet. And one
of the biggest lessons of knowing myself is that not everyone is like
me. There are some people who think and act differently. I am
learning that this makes a wonderful world. So, today and I hope
everyday I will learn more about myself and learn more from others.
