Since training camp I’ve found myself in the middle of a bunch of people who LOVE personality test. This is new to me. I didnt even know what Myers Briggs was till I was accepted to World Race. And now I hear about it AT LEAST once a day.
I am an ENFP (extrovert, intuitive, feeler, perceiver) yes… I am an extrovert. Most people find that hard to believe but its true! I thrive most when I am around people! I hate being alone! But still some would peg me as an introvert. Allow me to explain, I am an extrovert with social anxiety. I will often go into a room full of people and just sit just to be around people. I will sit and think about who I would love to be friends with and think about what I would say if I had the courage to actually be part of the conversation. But usually that never happens and I just sit there to be around people thinking about how great things can be but never doing anything about it. I also hate having alone time around the house. I have to go out and do something, anything, as long as it includes going out and being around people than im great!! So yes, believe it or not i’m an extrovert.
My question is, how often do we do this to the Lord? How often do we sit and think “I want a relationship or a better relationship with the Lord” but never actually step out and persue it? We just sit and think how great it would be. How often do we think of ways to serve the Lord but leave it at just a thought never going out and doing those things, maybe for fear of judgement, maybe for fear of failure or not being good enough.
How are your fears holding you back?
